Ovrrnbw, thanks. I won't make any changes on my end. I'm mainly documenting these changes to show how a crisis can eventually pass and normal communications & interactions can resume. A few months ago when my husband wanted to divorce he barely saw our daughter for ten minutes every week or two. Didn't care if we were alive or dead. Never called. Blamed us for everything wrong in his life. Each small positive step is good for our daughter who is the most important person in this situation. I hope I can do the right thing on my end to help my husband and daughter have a healthy relationship and to be as close as possible. I want to protect her in case he disappears again but I also want them to know each other. If anything ever happens to me, God forbid, my daughter will only have her father. Any advice for helping to facilitate the best possible outcome is welcome.
