embracing change

[Gardener]

fm, I'm sorry you had such a day despite your purest intentions.

Once H came here it became obvious that he was in a foul mood. [quote]Nice. On D's birthday. Couldn't hide it for a coup;a hours for her (everybody's sake?[quote=flowmom]He was clashing with S6 (who was feeling fragile due to being jealous of the D's birthday)

Normal "jealousy" even under the best of circumstances.

and they were getting into conflicts. At some point H said to me angrily: "on days like this I HATE having a special needs child" (out of earshot of the children I hope). Then he told me "I'm going to take D out...I can't handle S6, I'm going to strangle him".

Well, someone has to be the adult in situations like this and clearly it's not him.

H has gone now...thank goodness.

That statement says it all and speaks volumes.

And I'm thinking "why???? haven't you gotten what you wanted, dude?

He has (be careful what you wish for...parts of it my just now be biting him in the arse).

Today I realized that, right now at least, I've made more strides in detachment than H has.

You are miles ahead of him in that regard. Proud of you.
Hang in there, fm.
