Home alone for a bit. Nice and quiet. Just read an entire novel - "The Midlife Chronicles" by Robyn Harding. Cute book - familiar:) Kids are out with their social lives - I'm recovering. S is very hurt by his dad only sending one text yesterday on Christmas. I really don't believe H has a clue as to the little messages his actions or lack of actions send. Just another symptom...
Mistake or not, I sent H a text late last night that said - "Please don't respond - just wanted you to know you were missed by all today." He spent all Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with OW and her adult children and family.
Middle D and I talked last night about rejection. The kids have each, at different points, expressed their concerns that they would end up like their dad. They get scared that they don't have a sense of understanding of the difference between selfishness and taking care of themselves. I really just let them talk through it - just have them think about what they can live with in terms of their own decisions. Deep down they are all worried about what is really wrong with their dad.
It's a sad situation. But I believe that they do feel safe here at home and for that I am very glad.
