AmI,
My friend has been unable to locate WH as of yet. He must be living with OW because he hasn't been at his parents since Christmas. So, I may have to have him swing by my work and pick them up from my office. He finally called on Friday to see when the kids could come over. I let him take them on Sunday after church until 7pm. Because I am not having contact with him now, I had a friend drop them off. He started calling me at 6:45 trying to find out when I was coming...he obviously had plans. He called 3 times by 7pm. I did not answer, but my friends went and picked up the kids on time. I drove by his parents less than 30 minutes later and he was gone.
Christmas was really rough. I felt very flat and alone most of the weekend, even being surrounded by my kids. It was just a really time and I couldn't shake it. I slept alot over the weekend. I had 4 days off, so it was really restful. I am hoping that now that the holidays are over, it won't be as hard to function.
The kids had a great Christmas and were very excited all weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better one for them.
The next few days will be interesting...he should get served today or tomorrow and then my letter should get to him as well. So, I am sure there will be some ugliness involved, but I am also free to not answer any calls from him since I sent the letter. I honestly don't even feel like he will care at all...I think it won't matter to him one bit. It will be nice for me though once court is done and I can live without worrying about finances.
Thank you so much for checking in on me. I only have access to a computer at work, so I do all of my responses when I am here. And, we had a long weekend, so thanks for thinking of me. It helps to know there are those out there who have walked this road and can offer words that encourage and inspire...they seem to carry more weight than those that come from someone who has not been down this road! Blessings!
