Just been following along over this holiday weekend.
Honey, you are in the right place for you right now. Remember that everything we all feel is normal.
Are you gonna be able to snap him out of his “temper tantrum”? Nope.
Does that stop you from wanting to try? Nope.
I can’t tell you how many days I just wanted to take the frying pan and beat some sense into his head (or amnesia, didn’t really care which LOL). I have actually just watched my S go through that phase of it himself recently. Boy he just wanted to shake H and scream at him to wake up.
Glad you had a good Thanksgiving even if H was not there. I agree with FG, sometimes it is just easier if they are not around.
Look forward to Christmas, do what you can to make the holiday and the time leading up to it special for you and the kids. The attitude of if H wants to be a part he can, if he doesn’t, his loss…Best one you can have. He is the one who is missing out if he chooses not to join in. Up to you if you want to be miserable with him or happy with your kids.
I will check back in soon. Have a great day.
