Breathe! He's playing the passive agressive game w/you. He most likely figured that if the service was cut, you'd contact him about it. If you can swing the amount, I'd contact your cell service and see what they offer for a family plan. There are some great plans out there. This would be one more thing that you could have control over and take him out of the equation. Don't wait for him to provide you w/a cost for the cell service.
Mlcers tend to select one child to be their best bud. It is usually the child that doesn't question anything about what they are doing, the child doesn't challenge them for their behavior, etc. I think your daughter is being used not only to bring information to you, but also to carry information to him.
I'm glad your daughter asked you to chaprone her dance. That is an honor because most children don't want their parents around such events.
It's good to have new skills and stay abreast on the changes, especially in the area of CPR. You just never know when you may need the skill. Congratultions on taking the course!
BTW, I, too, read the book on "Living with the Passive Aggressive Man" and it was a real eye openner for me. My xh was the perfect example. PA's can really screw your mind up and make you think you are the crazy ones. They know just what buttons to push and how to do it w/o coming across as the instigators.
Breathe! Don't allow his PA behavior to cause a reaction in you...Kimmerz, you know you can take the phone control away from him by calling around for plans...just do it and take back the control over your situation w/this.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
