I'm sorry that your son had to hear his father speaking to you that way. I'm sure he was very upset and not happy w/his father at that time. Your son may come back to you at a later time and question you about the conversation...be honest w/him.
This was definitely hard to witness. S16, and of course it was the more sensitive of the 2, was obviously not happy. And not happy with H's "its just talking" spin. I did tell S16 that I was sorry he was upset and that if he wanted to talk to me, or ask me any questions, he was welcome to. So far he hasn't.
"...be honest w/him." I would be. I don't volunteer info, and wouldn't go into detail, but if was asked anything straight out, I would answer it honestly. Because I think living with half-truths and secrets is worse than living with the unknown and letting one's imagination fill in the blanks.
The job is still good. I'm getting more responsibility now, a mixed blessing, but ultimately good. Track meets have been taking up so much of my time of late that I haven't had as many hours at fastfoodland - another mixed blessing. (Heard a "word that should be" the other day, BLURSING - a blessing and a curse. That applies to a lot of things lately )

My what a twisted line of greeting cards that would be! Instead of hearts and flowers it could feature smashed cell phones
And in other news... I'm a step-grandmother for the 6th time as of this morning. SS31 and his LT GF just had their 3rd child, a girl. The first grand daughter. This doesn't really impact my family too much as we rarely see SS31 and his family - they live 12+ hours away. Think the last time we saw them was maybe 7 years ago? This would be just a part of H's sad story - one of broken relationships and broken promises...
H is at the casino.
S20 is moving back home on Monday. He made it almost 2 months out of the house. Wasn't getting along well with his roomie.
D18 is supposed to phone the local police Tue morning. IDK why, she says she doesn't either. Sigh. I guess if they don't want to hear from her until Tue it might not be too serious? Sigh sigh sigh.
S16A has district track meet tomorrow. He really enjoys this, so that makes it fun
S16B is working beaucoup hours at his own fastfoodland job and looking forward to his school trip to FL.
I, am thinking I need a vacation... lol. Not happening. But I'll have to think of something fun to do pretty soon. I have started walking first thing in the morning!! (Yay for me and I've lost.... wait for it.... TWO WHOLE POUNDS!! lol that's ok, slow but steady, that's me) And probably the best part of the walking routine is that it annoys H
Hope everyone has a good weekend and stays safe.
Cheers!!

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
