I am very glad that you and the girls went to see their grandfather. It's very sad when a "family member" writes someone off as gone before their time.
Your xw is still looking for attention. Really, who cares are someone getting dental work unless it's something serious especially when it comes to a mother who has been MIA for such a long time. Maybe she's hoping the Easter Bunny will give her a golden egg to pay for the tooth. Maybe, in her own way, she's letting the girls know that she's not going to be able to give them anything for Easter or maybe she's just selfish and wants attention...but the bottom line...your girls are smart not to read this note.
Irish, you are a good father and I'm proud w/the way that you've been handling your situation.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
