You are so right Snodderly. He did say at C that when he is so deep in depression that he doesn't want the kids or me to see him like this. That is why he doesn't call or show.
The C suggested that at these times if he could use text at least to let me know he is not coming.
Yes, the expectations have to be at zero. It is hard though. Like tomorrow he says he is coming. Hopefully that will be the case.
If he doesn't that is when I need to go on whether h makes it or not and not let his actions dictate my mood, behaviors or plans.
It's not easy though. I can say that for sure. Especially when we make plans or my h sets an expectation himself. I do think he will be here on Sat though. He seemed much more normal, not like the holiday depression we went through.
