I think part of my issue today is realizing the school year is almost over. I teach high school and will not be working this summer. I really should be but I'm not comfortable leaving W home with the kids everyday, all day. She is supposed to finish school at the end of the month and pick up a job, but no one (my C, my family, etc) expect her to find anything quickly. I just don't know. C thinks she won't actually leave until she finds someone else to take care of her. On top of that my oldest is 1000 miles away in Florida and I worry about his health issues so far away from home. I suspect this trip is sort of his last curtain call.
The kids are spending a couple of weeks in camp this summer too. I don't know what I'm going to do if W is still around the house all day or even worse, if she's not working but is going somewhere else during the day.
Stand up for what is right, even if you are standing alone.
