But I return it with calm. Last night, my W trudged into bed.
Me: Goodnight, XXX.
No response.
It's OK. My approach has always been that I won't treat her with the same anger that she is treating me.
This morning ( I made a crockpot beef stew the other day).
Me: XXX, did you try the stew? XXX: No. I didn't know there was some (? she turned the slo cooker off the other day) Me: It came out really great. Try it.
Today....after quite some time...I finally connected the DVD player to the back of the flat panel..and...VOILA.....IT WORKS.
Me: Whoa....I did it. XXX...you now have options for S7's BDay party sleepover this week.
My W heated the stew up for lunch before I left.
I don't know if she is going to return my openness with the law guardian with retribution or not. I don't know if she is plotting something. But I can't fall to her anger level. I can't....even if she screws me.
Finally, S7 wanted to snuggle last night.
Me: S7, I know that mom got mad at me the other day and I thank you for revealing the truth to her. Telling the truth is important. But....mommmy is just having a tough time. We both love you. I know you don't want us to get a divorce, but, mommy and daddy just have a tough time being happy together. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. YOU ARE A GOOD BOY and daddy loves you more than anything in the world. S7, I promise you....I will never hurt mommy....I love her. Do you believe me? (he nods). You will always have me...friends forever.
