Thanks for checking in and for the reminder about their teenaged selves. That really does help me keep it in perspective. I do so much now seem to see the teenage H at war with the adult one. So much. It is like he wants to engage back into the "real" world sometimes but doesn't want to let go of that teenage "freedom." I guess he just isn't ready to and hasn't finished growing up yet.
It is good to see him acting like an adult and father sometimes. And it does suck to be both parents, but I am eternally grateful I am not the one who "walked out" on my kids and marriage and I don't have to live with that for the rest of my life.
It is interesting how your S12 notices her acting like a teenager. Kids are so much more perceptive than we give them credit for, I think.
So do you have any special plans for Christmas? Will your W be involved at all?
