he finally called today
We had some rough weather here today (tornados and hail) and he just called my phone from his parents house. He asked me if the kids were okay and if he needed to go pick either of them up from school/daycare. I told him no that I had already called the school and daycare and they were fine but he was more than welcome to call if he wanted to.
He apologized for everything that happened the other day and said he really wanted to see the kids and talk to me. I told him I did not want to talk until we could talk without the kids and since he is working nights that can't happen. I told him if he wanted to come see the kids this afternoon before he goes to work that I have no problem with that. He said he would be there at 4:30. He asked me if he could get off work tomorrow night if I would talk to him tomorrow. I told him yes and that I was taking the kids to see the easter bunny tomorow. I told him he was more than welcome meet us there if he wanted. He asked "you would really let me go after how I acted?" I was suprised by his question but I think I had a pretty good comeback. I said "Eli I have no reason to keep you from the kids you are still their father." He said "I know but I really thought you would never speak to me again." I said "I have no reason to hurt you or my kids by keeping them from you. I don't want to hurt people I love"
I told him I had to go finish up my work for the day but the kids would be ready to see him at 4:30. I am trying really hard not to break down. I am doing pretty good so far. I don't want him to think I am pushing him away, but I also don't want him to think its okay to act like a crazy person.
Re: he finally called today
It sounds as if you handled the situation very well.
I hope he follows through on seeing the boys. Good luck talking to him when you get the chance, but please be careful and make sure you and the boy's are safe.
Ditto all of the above. Props on keeping your cool and keep yourself and your kids safe.
