Hey Amy, feeling much better today. Thank you! Not bitter today; I guess the sleep pushed it out.
Journal....
So I kinda opened up a can of worms last night. I mentioned something to my S that soon we're going to be living differently in the house. He asked what that meant? I told him that we weren't going to be living in clutter in our bedrooms anymore. He suggested getting a bigger house. LOL! Not hardly..
I told him that I couldn't afford a bigger house and since it was just me, him, and his sister; that this one was big enough. Then he floored me with this; "What about Mommy?" I replied that "you remember, mommy said that she was getting an apartment." He countered with "When is Mommy going to come back to us?" I just sat there for second to gather my thoughts, "I don't know that she is; besides you'll be able to go visit her there." S says, "Well, we could move to a different state and then Mommy would have to move with us because it would be too far to drive to her apartment." My only response was a question, "you would have to change schools; do you want to change schools?" He took a dozen seconds and shook his head and said, "Nah."
I kissed his forehead goodnight and he went to sleep. That W of mine is so naive if she thinks that D doesn't hurt the kids. I'm debating internally on whether or not I tell her about this exchange.
