they fit in a phone call with XAH to DD8, where he told her about all the progress he was making

It seems inappropriate to me for an adult to be reporting his progress to a child, (is she supposed to hold him accountable, like a sponsor for AA?)

DD8 is left with the impression that EVERYTHING IS FINE and despite them no-call-no-showing on her for three months that it's all hunky dory and they're trustworthy and great, no problems here at all.


On the other hand, if an 8-year-old thinks all is well with her family, what's the harm of that? She will be disappointed down the line, when (not if) Ex and his parents are no call / no shows for visits. You will need to manage her expectations, but that's often the case in divorce anyway.
