He got furious and called me a "selfish pr!ck" and few other things. Totally out of control. I saw hate in his eyes.Rage.
(sigh)
I was hoping to peek in and find everything better than it was. Kalni. Kalni.
Just letting you know that I think about you and hope you are OK. Sagapo.

Me 55; XW 47; 2 kids (S13, D11) Bomb 05/19/06 Original thread http://tinyurl.com/yg2ou2t Last anniversary 04/25/10, Divorced 5/12/10 Status: Loving father of 2 beautiful children;
Frank, I am OK. Honestly,watching my dad dying is the thing that takes all my attention right now. And that is why I made it clear to H, I am not putting up with any of his childish reactions anymore. I dont have time, strength, and more importantly, will to deal with his outbursts whether I know where they steem from or not.
The rest of the weekend was ok. He was on the phone very often with the other chief editors, they have asked for my take on things as well (they hardly know me), so we were making up possible scenarios, developments etc.
We went to a friends' house on Sunday where H put his arm around my shoulder and he announced he quit his job. All my GFs were thrilled... Their H's, not so much.
Anyway, MY SON'S BIRTHDAY is TODAY!! He is 9 years old. And he is one of the most interesting, intelectual, emotional kids I've met. And handsome too!! Take care all K
I concur about your son.. he's a gorgeous, sweet natured, intelligent, curious, sensitive little boy, I wanted to kidnap them both and take them home with me!
I agree with Michelle... wow, fantastic news that he quit !!!! I'm so sorry he had a wobble and 'took it out on you' and well done you for standing up to him !! I remember you posting before about his anger outbursts, punching the door, yelling at the kids etc when he was stressed (pre bomb?) but no, theres no room for that in your new life. And your Dad being so poorly really puts life into perspective hey and lifes too short to be yelled at !! I am glad he proudly put his arm around you whilst he told all your friends.. maybe you too will get to spend some evenings together now, can you imagine!???
Yes he does Kerry. It's the morning job. He could only keep that and we woudl be OK. Not able to spend as we are, but fine. But I am sure, when the word gets out, he will get some offers. He is one of the best in his field. H quit (and lets see if he will leave finally) as a reaction to mandatory cuts. The whole team quit, so he isnt doing for us. I think it suits him well but I dont believe he would make that decision anyway. He says he would have. We have been distant this last week. Both of us preoccupied with our own worries. I sent him a message today telling that these are the times we should be able to feel closer to each other, not the opposite...
Last night I didnt sleep. I kept thinking I would get a call from downstairs that my dad died. I was trying to listen to my mom crying... It didnt happen. I tossed and turned and my heart felt as if someone was squeezing it all night. Funny feeling and I know he is not in THAT stage yet, he could still turn it around, but he has quit fighting.
I was trying to think of A SINGLE complaint I have from my dad. Even when we fought, they were all clean, fair fights. He has been an excellent father, a sweet dad, a strong role model, a good husband, friend, a warm, loving, funny grandad... I cant imagine my life without him. He has been my strength for so long...
