Gabriel, thanks...What I am going through now is that she seems to have backed off a bit after spilling to me Saturday...

I called to say goodnight to the kids and about 20 minutes later I got a call from her...Today is my birthday and I originally thought that we had the kids on our birthdays, like my stepsons dad. I had mentioned that to the kids on Sunday and sid I wasn't sure; but I thought like my stepsons Dad, that this was the case...Well, I guess that my 8yr old said "We are going with Dad tomorrow...if T gets to go to his dads for his birthday then we do too"...Her call seemed angry at me...she said no; but didn't likethat they have school and would go....She said they could go out eith me....The reason? Because she didn't want to look like the bad guy!!! (How about because I am their Dad!!!)

Well, I am confused...I then said I had been checking on plays for us to go see and said that is if you still want to go? There was a long pause and I waitied for a no...What came next was I just don't know if it will be soon; because my mom was stressed whemn I got home at 1:00am on Saturday. Then I told her thre weren't a whole lot of them for about a month...She then said "I told you I don't get out alot"...I will talk to my mom when the time comes and if she doesn't I will ask my sister or someone to sit...

She seems to be willing to go; but I don't get any feeling of anticipation in her at going...almost cathartic???? Am I being used to get out, is she confused or does she not care??? I know noone really knows; but I am starting to wonder if this is how someone like her who is going through this is supposed to act...

Hey, if she liked the other guy better, wouldn't she find ways to go out with him and not want to go out with me???
