D18 said her father called her last week mentionning how great of a mother i am. He added that he knows i did not spend their child support on myself. He was proud of me and our children.
A few days later, he called her again to make plans to go kayaking with her next week-end. He also said he would give D22 a couple of his kayaks so once she is settled in her new place, they could kayak together. Then, he asked her if she told me what he i said about my motherhood and finances. She said no and he seemed desappointed so today, she told me.
I said: " if he brings it up again, tell him i really appreciate is compliment. I am glad he sees it and WE could not have had the financial security we have without him. "
To D18, i said: " he always said i was a great mother, always. Might be insight and kind gesture toward me? Might be ge feels a bit blue and he' s looking for validation of his part in our life which we should ALL be thankful for. Without his support, there would not have been the cars, the security school bank accounts, the freedom of our adventures exploring our region and beyond..
We should all thank him. It would have a positive impact on him.
Since my mother' s funeral, there has been only one contact between me and ex-h. I sent him a picture of D18' s apptm. building with the address. He said: " i hope it' s in a good neighbourhood.
I told him it was close to D22. He rephrased and said: i ' m sure it' s in a good neighbourhood i' m glad she is close to D22.
I said:" so am i and so is D22.
Nothing else so far. We will get the keys Sept 1. I booked a week of my holidays to get her moved and set in.
As for me, my relocation has not been a priority yet. Too many events took place. D18 is priority right now. My turn will come later.
There was a big forest fire in one of the region i was concidering. Fortunately, the town was spared.. scary moment..
