Thanks! I feel I have been responding better to all of this drama he is creating. I have been more mellow in my responses, not letting myself get drawn into things. I am letting him have more freedom by not asking about his whereabouts, when he is coming home, etc. And also I am making sure to keep busy by getting out of the house more alone, and with the kids. I feel a lot better now that I am trying not to take how he is acting personally!
Lately, it seems, I just don't want to be around him that much. If he wants to sulk, and be distant, I figure that is his own problem to deal with, and I don't want it to drag me down. Somehow, when he is feeling that way, I end up feeling guilty about it, I am not sure why it affects me that way??
We had a great day yesterday as well as today. His mood seems to have improved, we even joked around a little bit. I am still wondering if I should give him the space he needs, by telling him I wish he would go stay at his brothers. I am going to do a lot of thinking about that.
