That's the b*tch dmk, in my case my H is used to missing so much, he is actually gaining from the separation. He will never experience the pain of being a mother who up until now was there for every momentous moment. Of course we anticipate eventually being separated from our babes but not when they're so little.
And, the worst part, I think my H derives a sense of power and revenge by being able to take such selfish actions that ultimately cause me so much grief. Yes, I'm mind reading but since he used the words "pay back" with me, I feel sick with the implication that he is out to hurt me.
I know I'll get chided for making assumptions but H has serious mommy issues, I dare say he hates her deep down but he can't get rid of her so that leaves me to work it out on. Just disgusting.
