Last night W says in a text that she feels like S would rather be at the house with me than with her. She said that when she told him that I was coming over to get him on Sunday he stood around the front door for like 30 minutes waiting for me. Said it made her sad. I tried to reassure her - but in my heart I just wanted to shout out "Come home already!!! We all want you here!! Even the dog!!!". She has said repeatedly that s has "more space" at the house than her rented condo....guess she feels he is happier with more space.
I've resolved never to invalidate her feelings again (I realize I did a lot of that) but I think a lot of those feelings of the baby wanting to be with me instead of her are centered around her feelings of depression. Which, again, I can do nothing about. I just feel that my situation would get a bit better if it was treated - but that is neither here nor there.
