Okay, I wrote to my ex, he wrote back and agreed to be civil for my children, yet he did call, but he couldn't hear us yet we heard him clear, haven't heard from him for 2 weeks. So am I wrong to stop trying??? HELP PLEASE

Do not stop trying. Letters and pictures are an easy and inexpensive way to keep the faith. Do it for the children for sure.
