Husband left for the second time - 8

NIcole, I think the fact that you brought up having him come to D's birthday party as a concern says it all. Tell him you'd rather he not come, and he should do something for her himself. And let him explain what that will be to D. And then let him explain why he didn't follow through.

As far as OLD, you've received lots of good advice. All I'll add is to caution you not to build up any expectations in your mind before meeting anyone. You'll be sorely disappointed more often than not if you do.
