My D text him and said, "daddy where are you?" he said, "at work" he wasn't. You'd think after being gone so much he'd come home one day early - even for the kids but he doesn't.
While I avoid lying, I found that sometimes I had been omitting key details & going home because I couldn't/can't face an argument or angry look from my W. My IC said yesterday that avoiding someone to avoid being mean/abusive is better than acting out in ways that might hurt her. He may have much more devious reasons, but I have a belief that it is best to begin by making excuses so when a confrontation occurs it does not get out of hand.
