H sent me a text saying “im tired of the awkward feeling.”
Kech,
From your posts, you still sound confused on how to respond to H and question if you are making the correct choices.
This is my recommendation based off everything I understand: 1) Only respond to parenting issues. Never responding to anything that is not related to parenting issues.
I am glad Blue posted. This is another choice. She used THE EXACT WORDS I was going to use: 2)

I replied and took the bait for a long time. And guess where it got me? Not very far. .... I mostly made him feel worse about himself.
If you FEEL that you must reply, WAIT. WAIT 6 hours. Snap the rubber band on your wrist.
3) "What awkward feeling?" 4) "So am I. When do you plan on having your own place?" 5) "Why do you feel awkward spending time with D?"
I am sure there are many more. Which one brings you closer to your Goals?
Each one may work at different stages of the process. Each one will trigger a different response.
You know H better than anyone on this planet does. Imagine what he thinks and feels and how he might react to each response.
