Another waw/mlc and I need support

[cyclone]

Thanksgiving was an interesting day. Turns out W did come home sometime on the middle of the night Wednesday. In the morning s7 asks if she wants to go to pick flowers. It's something they have done together the past couple of years. This time he wants to ride his bike. S9 wants to go on a ride too and asks if I want to join them. We all end up going for a short ride around the neighborhood looking for wildflowers.

When we get back home W wants to go swimming so she takes S7. S9 wants to stay home with me. She come back about 30 min before dinner is served. She spends that time getting all dressed up. We have a nice meal then she tells the kids they can go play computer games and leaves.

She doesn't come back home until Friday around 5pm. I regret responding to a text she sent earlier asking what we were doing. I should have ignored it or maybe better responded that we were having fun. Instead I told her the kids and I were playing a board game. When she finally gets home she wants to take the kids to a movie. I said great, have a great time. S9 will only go if I go and asks her if I can come too. She says of course I am welcome to go but when he tells me that I have to go because otherwise he won't, she rolls her eyes. I made the mistake of saying thatvi saw the eye roll and I wouldn't be going. That opened floodgates for some of her venom. She said that for years I didn't go out with them to pick flowers but I had to yesterday. I handled that one ok but when she said I am pushing her away all the time I reponded with I am trying to give you space and you are running. I tried to remain calm and eventually had to say that I wouldn't get sucked into a fight about it. Take the kids to the movie and have a great time. S9 stayed home with me but not before a bunch more drama between the two of them. Of course that is my fault too.

This stuff is emotionally draining. Today more drama over the kids. She wanted to take them both to the library and then out to lunch, then take s9 to do some shopping. Fantastic. Have fun. Please call when you Re on your way home because I might go out and I want to make sure that I am home when you bring s7 back.

I did go out to have lunch. As I was getting ready to leave he calls and says I know you told me to call so I shouldn't be frustrated but you aren't home. She asks where she can meet me to drop off S7. Stay at home I say. I'll be there in 5 min. She calls back to say that she is on her way out. Where can she meet me. I tell her meet me at home. She calls back to say that s7 hasn't had lunch and she would drop him off at a resturaunt we visit frequently. I drive there to find her parked out front with s9 in the car. S7 is in the restaraunt all by himself.

Sorry for the long post. Just had to get it all out.
