New to the club

So mother’s day was a week ago. S21 and S19 each texted her “Happy Mother’s Day” she just replied with a simple “Thanks”. I resisted the urge to wish her the same. Part of me wonders if that was a mistake but she hasn't acknowledged me on past reach outs so I decided not to. The boys also attempted to drop off a card but she didn’t answer her door so they just left it taped to the door. She claimed she was napping and didn’t hear the knock.

I heard from her for the first time in three weeks on Friday. She texted me about church resuming limited attendance mass starting in June. Wanted to know if she should respond that all 4 of us plan on attending or if I wanted to respond separately for me and the boys. I just said it was fine for her to respond for all of us.

Also on Friday she invited the boys over for dinner and they accepted. S21 said they were there for 30 minutes. Said conversation was awkward and irrelevant. They left as soon as they were done eating.

She did return S19’s high school yearbook and Cross Country team pullover that she took with her when she left. He questioned her why she had them. She just said that she liked reading through the yearbook and that the pullover was comfortable. Is it possible that she took these because she was reliving her youth? Just seems odd.

Still detaching, working on self improvement, and providing a stable home for the boys.
