turning point

Life just keeps chugging away and these things happen and I feel the need to sit down hard on soft grass and close my eyes.

I have been trying to get in touch with the kid's dad for some time. Some things happened this summer that led me right to him. I have spoken to him and he says he has changed, but it's all too clear that he hasn't changed enough. The kid seems strong enough to handle this to everyone that knows her. They might meet sometime soon and I'm confident that the kid is capable of making up her own mind. This doesn't mean that if she decides she hates me because I won't let her do whatever her little heart desires that living with him will EVER be an option.

She's drawn to his lifestyle and I prefer to expose her to it myself surrounded by people that I know have her best interests at heart. She's a smart girl. I hope she's wise enough to see through the glamour of insanity.

In other news...

My ex-best friend has also called me out of the blue. She's now a mom, too. A baby and one on the way, married, living in the middle of nowhere with no running water and too many pets. She apologized and that's all that really mattered. Once that was out of the way we talked and laughed and breathed a giant sigh of relief. Despite everything, I missed her a lot these past eight years. What happened between the two of us hurt more than what happened between me and the kid's dad.

I'm wondering what will happen next. Don't these things come in threes?
