New Beginnings

[CanBird]

Thursday I got 5 msgs from exH. "Planning to visit D4 next week".
The last, "Returning to (other state for work) Apil 15th".

He says he's looking for a place to stay. Much better for all. I have a feeling he'll bring his mom with him. Love my in laws. D4 would love to see her. We'll see.

A little back story: exh has always worked out of state. Since D4 was born, it's been a seasonal 6 months away. So she's use to dad being away for long times. While he was away, he did contact her here & there. When he finished work, it just stopped. Except Christmas. They did a video chat. But no other forms of contact at all.

D4 is fine. We talk. She gets what our D means. She's sassy, like me, but happy. It's a blessing that her dad worked away so much. She doesn't miss him, because he was never here. She doesn't ask to contact him. I don't push her too, but if I think she might want to I ask & go with what she wants. (Unless it's a special occasion... I'd encourage her a lot more). Should I be making her contact her dad more? Maybe that's a question to ask him? Or he can talk to his daughter about it.

He hasn't told me where he is now, but I know. And I know he's been out of the country for at least 3-4 months. (EU). He's a WAS/MLC. Just goes to show that his new life comes first.

I put his remaining items in the garage. Doubt he'll take anything, but one never knows.

There's some unresolved things we need sign off on when he's here. Let us pray it goes my way.
