digger Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Don't shoot me down...its a little hope if even I'm stretching thins but.... I went to my house (sorry, her house) yesterday to get the rest of my things. My brother came along with his larger van to get a bed and dryer etc. I crossed my fingers rounding the corner..and YES!! The for sale sign no longer exists. Hope. My daughter met us and opened the garage door and we loaded up everything that was sitting there waiting for me. Upon completion, my daughter and I began to talk. Shes into photography now and showed us some pictures. Shes really really good. One conversation led to another and daughter said "did you notice?" I said 'what"? She started grinning and said "no more for sale sign". I kind of smiled back, teary eyed and said "promise to do me something". OK. Give your mom a hug tonight before bed and dont tell her who its from, She smiled and promised and then commenced to tell me how shes into it with mom all the time and tells her "no wonder dad didnt get along with you the way you act". I never thot I'd see their relationship like that. I told her--be nice to her--shes going thru something very difficult. At that I said, Oh, can i go in the basement and get something i left. Yeah sure dad. I entered the house and was shocked. I had moved out in June--8 months ago. Still, not a speck of furniture in the LR. Nothing! As empty as when i left it. As empty as a gymnasium. I thot sure the 10K she withdrew I found out about in August was for furnishings. My mothers word--"maybe shes waiting for you to come back with the furniture". Stranger things have happened. Its a small bite of hope and if it makes me feel better, so be it. But her life seemingly hasnt taken off as shes led us to believe. And yes ppl--she could afford it if she wanted to. She makes over 45,000. And oh yeah, the wall clock we'd (me/parents/brother) had been accused of stealing the day I moved out....The very item she reported to her lawyer and said shed never forgive us for taking as I insisted we did NOT take..Its back on the wall. Same place. Could be an identical repurchase but i doubt it. Its the only thing in the empty living room. Eleven months later and i still dont understand any of it. Link to post Share on other sites
Scott S Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Difficult to say what all that means. I do caution you not to raise unreasonable hope. I would hate to see you hurt. Or rather, crushed. It is encouraging that your daughter is communicating with you. While, ideally your ex & you could at least remain on sufficiently good terms to co-parent, this is much better than being cut out of her life entirely. I wish you well, sir! __________________________________________ Make something idiot-proof, and they will simply invent a better idiot. Link to post Share on other sites
