A new day is approaching

[Irish M]

Things have settled down.
Both my daughters birthdays have passed and XW is gone back missing in action. She'll be popping her head out again at XMas.

Last message I got was 3 days ago. Her telling me that she is a good mom. Paying her child support and will not pay a penny more.

Now this is court ordered payments. Really nothing more than a couple hundred bucks that will cover the girls cell phone bills.
I guess she feels good paying it. Oh well. Of that what being a mom is well congrats to her for making it.

What is the definition of dead beat? Because she pays the court ordered amount, does that make her a responsible mom. She wouldn't contribute a penny if it wasn't court ordered. I say she's a dead beat because their is no emotional or physical love towards them.

Got the girls all ready for school. They are excited. I'm so lucky that they are grounded and not rebelling. God has blessed us.
I sent the receipts to her via my lawyer. If she pays half I'll be surprised lol

I didn't get that message from my Ex-SIL. So I guess her reaching out was for nothing. It leaves questions in the back of my mind though. I'll shake it off

Hope all is well with everyone
