Ex Asked for MY Help

It turns out a lot was being hidden (see my post from last week).  On the positive, the ex asked for help with my stepdaughter - MY help specifically. 

Did you fall out of your seat?  I almost did.

She also complimented hubby by telling him he could show their daughter how a man should treat a woman with respect and love.  He about fell out of his seat when he got that text.  Everybody was plopping out of their seats around my house last week.

I was talking to my older sister and she was as shocked as I was but she said that it sounds like the ex loves her daughter more than the grudge now so she asked for help.  While I wish we'd known about all of the "issues" sooner, I'm glad she finally let us know and asked for our involvement. 

So, my stepdaughter had an unplanned road trip to our state for several days this past week and her dad and I took turns talking with her about the issues that needed to be talked about.  We also had a lot of fun with her in between the serious stuff. 

I miss her now that she's gone.  She's been texting me a lot since she left yesterday morning but sure do miss her.
