Living, Loving, & Learning one day at a time

[job]

You are trying to spin rational logic on something that isn't rational at this time. You are "expecting" him to be a certain way and he isn't, or should I say, hasn't matured to the level of wanting to be a parent. Your h is still a man/child and can't accept the responsibility that goes along w/it. He enjoyed the short period of time w/your son, but it got to be too much for him, so he brought him back home.

I'm not making excuses for the man, but he can't handle being the "dad" for even 24 hours. It's a difficult task to put on that mask and keep it there for that period of time. As for the ow, I don't think so.....the "something" he needed to do was dealing w/is depression.

Yes, you are angry, but you need to remember, he's not the man you knew years ago. This is someone new and different, therefore your expections have to be at zero at all times. Your son's playmate is only 15 and hasn't reached full adulthood just yet. If and when he does grow up, that's when more time will be spent w/his son, etc.

Vent away...
