Thank you! You're right. He texted this morning/late last night - I'm so sorry. It's not fair to expect you to play both sides (caring for both you and me) when you already loved me as unconditionally as possible. Sorry I didn't come w/ a warranty.
I wrote back that it was "goods sold as is" and that "honest emotion was more valuable than therapy". I don't know when his appt is or if he'll call and I am trying to ignore it. The kids are still sick, so we're cooped up again, ugh! Much easier when we can run around and do other things.
Since he's visiting the kids in our house, I am still working on boundaries. The kids and I are going to my parents for the next week, that'll give us some space and time away.
