Penny, Oh what a day you had. I'm sorry. Wish I was there to give you a hug, but I'm sure sending them your way. Thank goodness for your wonderful son. Children truly are blessings, mine are what have kept me sane.
I understand completely about the phone calls. It seems my H never heard the phone because he was in the shower. I said he had to be the cleanest person ever. He is also bad about turning his phone off and then saying something must have been wrong with his phone, this the excuse he told my D when she couldn't get ahold of him. When he did have it on I would call it and he wouldn't answer and then after about 3 times I would leave a voice mail telling him what the problem was and then he would call me back. They make you so suspicious.
I'm reading the The Five Languages of Love by Chapman, very good and another one I liked is Love Must Be Tough by Dobson.
Please don't blame yourself.
