x and I tried to attend the parenting thing at the same time - WHAT a mistake. I listened to the first half of the session about all of the effects on the kids, using every bit of strength I had to not start balling right there in the room...
At the break, he walks outside with me and says "Isn't there a lot of great information in this?" I couldn't believe it - we were in the same room, listening to the same info, and heard two completely different messages. The mental gymnastics they can do still astound me.
I went over to the workshop leader and told her I had to leave and take the class another day. I didn't even stop and tell him why, just got my things and left.
