To amyC....the key ..I think..for you..and like most others is the RECOGNITION of a problem...and the desire to repair it. Honestly, I think my W truly has forgotten many things in our M.
To Snowmm...thanks for coming onto the thread. I wish it were as 'easy' as you post. Our spouses are NOT our children. They are adults. Although I admire your comments and understand where you are and SUPPORT YOU in your approach, I think it is comparing apples to oranges. The LBS has the huge responsibility of saving the M...here. It sometimes makes me wonder.....why....after a period of time? No need to give an explanation to that...I know the textbook response.
I am having a rough time. My W has been coming down hard on me of late. For a mild upset stomach..if it truly were....my W and I allowed my son to stay home from school today. He had a ceremony at religious school scheduled for 730. I keep a calendar in the kitchen...posted it a week or two ago. My W piles things on it all the time and the handwriting was slightly shmeared. Of course, she stopped writing ANYTHING on it weeks ago if not months.
Last night, my PDA alerted me to the meeting. Since my son didn't go to school, I drove home. This morning, my W confronted me about him missing the meeting last night. She called me a LIAR. Accused me of hiding stuff from her. Told her she was going to call her atty. I told her that since he missed school for a stomach ache, I thought he would be staying home. She called me a liar and told me that he could have gone. Needless to say I don't get told that my son is getting a new Cub Scout uniform nor that he had his first meeting last Friday.
My marriage is 100% dead. I live with anger and hate.
And, finally........
I received a notice from the Sheriff's office yesterday. My father-in-law filed a lien against me to get the mortgage payment back (I had repaid about a 1/4 of it).
