So with being Detached this is more of a me thing. On the inside I can't let my W's moods/emotions get the better of me. On the outside I will have a big smile and be in a good mood when I am around her despite how I am feeling inside.
I don't have a problem with not contacting her during the day while we work, but lately my S10 has been behaving very badly before school after she leaves for work. He has some issues that we go to a doctor for but it can be very deflating. When my W was home with the kids and I went to work early she would call often to vent. I used to call her, but now I don't and some days it is very hard. I get depressed and the rest of the day is not so good. I am trying to not let him get the better of me, but some days are better than others.
