I have had an unexpected phone call today !
My ex father in law , who moved abroad when the brat was about 4, with his new wife.
He still stays in touch with the brat via her dad etc but he rang today to speak to me

He just wanted to say he was proud of me for raising the brat

he obviously has very little expectations. Left me thinking he is going through a 'to do ' list . He says he is ok but i guess he would
