Serendipity5309 I completely understand. I have 4 year old twin boys. One of them is super attached to his daddy and is devastated. My H didn't see them for 5 days because we got into an argument. All I could do is reassure my son that I was there for him. Keep yourselves busy and make sure you talk to you son about his feelings. My son acts out a lot because he misses his daddy. I tell him to use his words instead.
Since your H is still in the house with you all maybe you could just say he is working for now until you see what happens. Does your H know how its affecting your S?
We are all here for you. I hate to be the one that asks but do you suspect OW? Since he isn't coming home that's the first thing I thought of when I read your post.
I do suspect OW. It wouldn't be the first time, unfortunately. My H knows how it is affecting my S, his attitude is I should lie to "protect" S.
I know what you are saying about my attitude about his feelings. I guess I have been reading too much into the MLC posts because it's he same excuses everyone else talks about. I have 180ed on a bunch if stuff, but he says he thinks it's all fake.
"Eventually, one of two things will happen. He will realize you are worth it, or you'll realize he isn't. "
