When I got home from work today, I received an email from W.
We switched health insurance companies on Jan 1st, and we have to all our family perscriptions refilled. S13 takes meds for ADHD, and is almost out of his supply. I took on the task of comparing all the doctor choices, finding one that was taking on new ADHD patients, getting D13 the soonest appointment (tomorrow), and arranging to have his records transferred. I then worked my work schedule around the appointment. I've emailed W about all this as I did it. She was supposed to get the medical records herself, but when she never did I went ahead and took care of the request myself.
So today, her email told me that she was going to take S13 to the doctor instead of me. My thought is that is part of her divorce action, and claim for custody. I emailed her that we needed to stick to the original plan, and I would be taking S13 to the doctor. Then I called her and told her the same. She said I was going to use this against her, and I said she could meet us at the doctor if liked. She sounded pretty pissed, and started into some accusations, about how I avoided her around the house. I told her that I was just keeping peace in the house. She yelled "where has this man been the past 17 years". I asked "are we agreeing that I'm taking D13 tomorrow", and she said "Yes!". Then I said, thanks, I gotta go. Bye.
I was very calm both in the email and on the phone with her, despite her being so upset. I could have made accusations about why she called the doctor, why she was intervening, why she dropped the ball on getting S13's medical records, but I just didn't anything positive from it.
I suppose I could've set a boundary better, so this stuff doesn't keep happening. I'm not sure how to word it, and I need to work on this a lot more for the future!
Thoughts anyone? 2x4's?
