One of these days I guess I should write to H and spell it all out, but somehow I just don't feel like doing it right now. I feel the less said, the better.
As for giving as good as he gets (Moving Forward mentioned this) - I don't really want to blast him because I will always have to deal with him as the father of D.
I am not in an ideal situation regarding finances, being in a foreign country, and stuff like that, so extra antagonism is not called for. But certainly firmness and not enabling him is. And just removing unecessary contact between H and myself. And knowing my mind at last.
I was reading how Laughing had taken to laughing at her H's spiel, and that's almost the stage I have got to. Only, laughing inside, silently. It is all so ridiculous! Stamping his foot and demanding I buy his tobacco for him, or that I eat lunch with him! Who does he think he is?
Tomorrow when H is down in town, I feel he might try to call by the house to talk to me. I am just going to be "unavailable". I really don't owe him an explanation of what I do with my time or where I go.
He is coming down with w3 in her car, as she has some business in town. He hasn't mentioned anything about taking D out for lunch from school, though he may ring this evening.
This isn't going to be easy, but at least I am not being torn apart by conflicting emotions and desires.
