Well, I do have an expectation that ex might actually show some interest in s9's life, but I've managed to let go of most all of the other expectations.

At this point I don't want to be his sounding board any more. It has been too emotionally draining when we have 2 hour convos where all he does is vent on me. It also takes my focus off the boys and my life.

I really am not trying to be an 'ice princess' but maybe I'm doing that. I probably shouldn't have answered the phone, as he did call while I was making dinner and never bothers to ask when or if it's a good time to talk. I told him I couldn't talk now in a friendly voice, maybe I could have done s/t different??!

The ex's ex wants to talk to me again today about s/t he did over the w/e w/her k's. Not sure if I'm prepared for this or not! I'll post it if it's anything worthwhile.
