He's mad that I surprised him with this, and especially mad that I'm ruining the kids Christmas.
He's mad you did something he didn't expect & didn't/couldn't control. He's gaslighting & using your 'hot buttons' (the kids) to guilt you back under his control. I hope you can recognize it for what it is & let it roll off your back.
Keep your eyes on the horizon & let the mile markers slide by (him getting mad was inevitable.. it just happened sooner than you 'thought' it would)... you will still be out of the house soon (the horizon).
Stay safe.. you are in my prayers today. Peace Bridge
