Time for an Introduction...and Thanks

[figure-it-out]

Journaling...
Nice appointment with C last night. Went over frustrations with events earlier in the day. She felt it best that I hadn't said anything to H about kids staying home or the iPhone. Asked me if I had thought about any kind of timeline for this whole process. I had indicated early on (before I found this site and before I really examined what I really wanted and how I had contributed to the disintegration of my marriage)that I couldn't see myself lasting more than a year.
I told her no, there was no timeline. I will know when I am done. Maybe there will be an event that will lead me to that decision or maybe I will merely ease into it. I don't know, but I do know it's ultimately in my hands to decide when it's over whether I end up divorced or not.
Could use some input as to whether I handled this correctly or not though. When H told me he was coming over to play video games and our S would not be going to school I told him he needed to call in the absence. He said OK.
I received 2 calls (one from my D school and one from my S) later though saying they had been absent and needed a call or note excusing them. My son was upset when he heard the message said he was worried dad wouldn't call in. I told him I'm sure he would. I wasn't sure though. I ended up writing both my S and D a note excusing the absences. I received a text this morning from my H wanting the phone numbers to the school to call in. I told him that our S was worried last night about the call we received so I wrote a note for him to take in. My H replied "thank you, I'm sorry I didn't call. I was going to do it in the morning but then I forgot about it." I replied "no problem, I figured it just slipped your mind. I'm sure you were tired after working too."
I guess as I'm writing this I know I should have let him handle it. I know I could have just as easily received a text back from him saying he told me he would take care of it. More trying to control I guess. I need to work harder on letting things like this go.
