As you know S3 has been sick now for two weeks. I stayed home all week to look after him. H was meant to look after him tonite but I said that it was probably best if he stayed home with me to speed up his recovery. But that I was more than happy for him to spend all day tomorrow with him.
This evening I received a text from H saying that he is as equally capable of looking after S3 when he is sick. Therefore he should have looked after him tonite. I took offense because i wasn't saying he wasn't capable I just wanted to have S3 home. Anyway I broke the DB rules by replying and I said I thought he was a great and capable dad. But I was dissapointed to receive such a hostile text. He replied by saying he couldn't care less if I was dissapointed. I replied with I'm sorry you feel that way. S3 misses you too. There was a bit more to the text but that was the general tone.
This has been the first time that H has been confrontational. Normally because he is passive aggressive he just plays nice (too nice) and then runs away.
MIL rang me and told me that H was hurting. I felt like saying who cares! I've been hurting for months. She told me a bunch of stuff that H had told her which was completely untrue but she believed them. She stated that she had tried to help and she really stuck her neck out to help me. OMG! This is exactly what everyone here was trying to warn me about. Blood is thicker than water.
Here are a few things she said:
- I'm not saying who's wrong or right. To which I replied, well I have text messages to prove I'm right. - You know what H is like.... you should try to make it easier for him or he'll run away if he feels it's too hard. Excusing his behaviour! - He has every right to see S3 as much as he likes and you shouldn't control when or for how long. Again I was gobsmacked! - The Wednesday nite outings are good for S3 to show positive parenting. I said it hurt to sit there knowing my husband is sleeping with OW. She said well if you're going to act like a hurt wife it's never going to work. OMG!
I'm livid just livid!
