Irish,

She will contact you again, but she needs to mull over what you posted. I know you aren't where you want to be in the scheme of things w/your xw, but she's opening the door for more communication w/you. I find it interesting that she actually wants to speak to you on the phone. I wonder how she would react if you said, no, we will meet and discuss the situation in person. I know you probably won't want to do that, but it just might jar her a bit and make her step back a bit.

Your girls are old enough to determine whether they want to communicate w/their mother or not. I would step back and allow your xw figure out how to mend the fences w/her daughters. It's not your job to fix what she broke. You've had to do all of the hard, necessary work to heal yourself and work on helping your daughters heal.

Now, it's time your xw figure out how to heal herself and reconnect w/her daughters.


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.
