I went to my reunion on Sat night and had a great time meeting up with old friends.
H came over to watch S13 while I was out.
I wore a new sexy sheath dress that showed off my new LBS figure. H said "You look great" as I was on the way out.
I asked him whether he needed me to be home by any particular time and he said "Just text me when you're coming home".
So... at midnight I get a call on my phone. It's him sounding p'ed and saying "I have to get to work, when are you coming home?"
I said "It'll take me at least 30 mins to get home if I leave right now."
He said " I'll have to go now and leave S13 here on his own."
I left the party and was surprised when I drove home to see his car still in the driveway at 12.45pm. He came out and said that he couldn't find the house key to lock the door and so couldn't leave S13 asleep alone in the house.
He was still p'ed, but said "Hope you had a good time?" I answered with a vague confirmation.
Before I left I 'd asked him to take a look at the kids homework with them. But he said that he would come over the next day (Sunday) to help the kids with their homework (both kids have been struggling with maths since he left). He also told the kids this and so they left their homework till later.
He didn't show at all on Sunday.
D16 eventually rang him at 9pm after struggling with physics and maths assignments, but he wasn't much help over the phone. She begged him to come over and look at her papers, but he said he'd been working shifts back-to-back all day and could not.
I may no longer have expectations, but the kids still do. Sometimes it's hard to try to live our lives as if he's no longer a part of it.
