W has sick S tonight. I am happy that she will get to care for him tonight. I think she was heartbroken that she couldn't be there last night when he couldn't sleep and had a fever. In the end, it was her choice to have an affair, her choice to move out, and our choice to split custody.
If the last few months have told me anything, they have told me that I am a fantastic father to my son. If you asked me even a few years ago how I would react in this same position, I would have no idea what to tell you. The idea that I have the ability to care well for an infant on my own is a pretty amazing feeling. Regardless of what happens with my W, I feel confident that I will be able instill solid values and raise my boy to be a fine man.
W and I did exchange a few text messages tonight:
W: Has this thermometer been in son's butt?
W: Is that how you have been taking his temp?
M: Yes. With Vaseline. And washed after.
W: How long do you leave it in?
M: 10-20 seconds
-An hour passes-
M: How did it go? You didn't put the whole thing up there, did you? Still fever free?
W: Just got him down. Fever free.
M: Yay! Great to hear. Take care of yourself now and try to get some sleep. Let me know if you need anything. Have a good night.
W: Night
So if any communication is good communication, a conversation about how to put a thermometer in my son's butt will work for me tonight. Nice.
At least my little boy is fever free!
