This afternoon...

Me: Son, do you still have that stuff those people wrote to you on FaceBook that upset you?

Son: Yep, still have it.

Me: I wish you would make a copy of that stuff for me.

Son: How many copies do you want?

Me: One will be fine.

Me: Thank you son.


And later on this afternoon, the GAL called me and wants to set up an appointment to meet my son. I'll be taking those copies to give to her. My youngest daughter refers to me now by my first name! She doesn't say "dad"' she says "antlers"! She's heard her big sister doing it recently, so now she's started doing it. When she mentions me to others, it's "antlers" and not "dad"! That hurts.

I've got to handle him (my son) with kid gloves. He's so messed up because of the last 18 months, and especially because of the last 8 months.
