I went to C again this week. She thinks from my descriptions of X, that he may have some of the autism spectrum the kids have. And the anger is his way of dealing with the divorce; I had depression; he has anger/projection. But the main thing I think I took from this session is that I can’t just problem-solve the situation. He’s going to be out of control and angry for however long, maybe forever, and there is no perfect action or word that I can use to change the situation. Other than keeping myself safe and detaching. Everything else in my life is good or better than good…so it is what it is. I plan to go to another Divorce Care meeting this week.
I was super busy being “good mom” yesterday; J did a fun pottery class with her church group and then I dropped the kids off with X and worked some overtime. Today on the list is some relaxation and chilling out—and catching up on the amazing amount of laundry my kids generate. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
