Mach - yeah, it was dumb of me and probably not so good that I followed it up with a couple of other choice comments about his selfishness, etc. in response to some stuff he said. Oh, well. It will blow over I supppose though it may have set me back a couple of months.:) I do think his reaction was so strong not necessarily because of what I said but other stuff going on with him regarding work, etc., but who really knows. Even with his crazy I can read him better than he thinks I can.
MJ - the thing is I haven't really been asking where he goes at all and he has been volunteering more lately. Not that I believe it is the whole truth and nothing but the truth but at least it is something. He even has started calling to check in on occasion, something that hasn't happened for a long time. I may not get any volunteered info or calls for some time now, thanks to my big mouth.
The kids have been my salvation this summer, being able to focus on them. I will definitely miss them when school starts in a few days!
I am not sure, maybe the fed up place is not so bad if it will give us the strength we need for the situation. I am finally at the point of feeling the need/strength to set some boundaries but still praying on how to handle that.
