Alamo you did ok...when things are in the crapper you stepped up. Just make sure it doesnt become something you do everytime. being supportive and helpful is great Just don't do it at your own self worth. So I am saying do it cuz you want to, not cuz you are trying to earn brownie points. Thinking about you and sending you strength... you can do this and you will be OK!
Thanks Wanda...I'm trying not to jump in every time, but it seems like every time our son is involved.
UPDATE 9pm
My wife calls me and asks if our son has insurance. I said no and she said he might need to go to the clinic or hospital, because our son was acting disoriented and exhibiting some symptoms that were worrying her. I told her not to worry, I'll pay for his visit and whatever. So she asked if I had the on-call number to our son's doctor. I told her I'll look for it and let her know. After she talked to the doc, she told me our son has an appointment at 9:15am tomorrow. I told her if she doesn't mind, I want to be there too. Then she said she wanted to lay it out there: "From a scientific point of view, what you're doing is being controlling and manipulative...you needing to be at every appointment or event." I said I want to be there because I want to be there for him and was going to help pay for his visit. Then she and I went back and forth a little more, so I changed the subject and asked if what the on-call doctor said. Then we talked about our son for another 10 minutes.
At the end I said sleep well and goodnight. My wife said, ok, see you at the clinic tomorrow at 9:15.
I thought scientifically I was being controlling and manipulative? I thought she wants to proceed with the divorce paperwork? So why does she treat me like this? Am I being a doormat?
