Well friends - today was quite interesting. I'm driving my middle D back to school then driving to my hometown for a quick visit. At 3pm my H calls me. Wants to tell me that yesterday while cleaning S's car he found a bottle of pain pills!!! He then says how are we going to handle it? I ask if I can call him back. I get my composure together - call him back and ask "Why am I just hearing about this today when it happened yesterday morning?" He says "you all were going to lunch" and "I thought he would come to me about it" - I said "did it have anything to do with the fact that you were off and you didn't want to be disturbed?" I said - you are a school counselor - is that what you advise parents at school?" I said I don't have the ability to only make S a priority "occasionally" - that it was a 24/7 job. I said - "you tell the kids that the reason you are gone is that you don't want their mother / you don't love their mother - well guess what - that same mother is who they have right now!"
Friends...I lost it! He went on and on about how if I was handling the break-up better the kids would be better.
The man is completely CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! So I come home and work through the situation with S. Then have him call his father. Said to S "sorry bout your luck - but we are educators and we have drug tests available" -
FTR----my life NEVER looked like this! God help me!!!!!!!!!!
