Hi Nell yes it does make you angry when they show no respect but we have to expect that.
I will keep doing dinner as was discussed on some recent posts of mine, I can detach but still do the things I have always done. I still have to cook for D and I anyway.
Next Tuesday will be a shock for him because I am going out (he doesn't know that yet) so he will have to heat his own dinner up for a change, which he always has trouble with and asks for help anyway, usually gets D to do it if I am not here.
That's another question, do I tell him I am going out or not? If I do, do I have to say where I am going or only if he asks where I am going? Bearing in mind most of the time I don't know where he is, he doesn't say and I don't ask. Or do I just go out and say nothing.
