He even sugested that I come out for a coffee with him and dd5 (becuase dd5 didn't want to go alonewith him0. I agreed, for dd's sake. It was very weird, being in public with him and dd, as a family, the first time in 3 yrs.

DD was very pleased tho, and said her empty space (inside her heart) was now full up!!

BUT, ok, it was a start, and I wouldn't have ever suggested it myself as Ihave been put in my lace too many times, but it was a move in the direction.

So today is easter, and has he followed this through? Nope, no card, no egg for dd5, and she is pretty upset and let down once again.

I am so torn wanting to call him and have a go, which I won't do, but once again, and i SHOULD have expected it, dd is let down.

I truly thought, last weekend was a breakthrough of him realising he has to comeup with ideas, and efort to see dd and gether trust.

She trusted him enough to see him, and guided by me went out for a coke, but now she's miserable again.

Oh, and the weing problem started back uo this week too, after almost a week of dry, after she'd seen him.

She is still suffering, and even pooed herself 2 days ago. I knew i would have to see this thru, the eventuality that he wouldn't keep this going proplerly, but its hard to see dd upset once again.

I think sometimes absent parents don't think about things like easter, to him, he has seen her and that's enough. They don't know what it is like to be the child. As long as you keep telling her that you are there for her and you love her she'll be ok. Of course she's going to be upset, there's nothing that you can do about this. It takes time for them to understand what's going on. The weeing and soiling is probably her way of showing you how miserable she is. It will take time for her, all you can really do is love her and tell her that you care.

hey as of sunday, it is my fault he didn't ring or try hard enough to see dd apparently.

He spoilt easter day by being a brat. He then told me I was a stupid fucking bint.

nice.

I am going to my soliciters this week, i have had enough of having to hear his rubbish.
