Look what the cat dragged in! (TL) - Act 2

[tigerlily78]

Son was quite disappointed. He was looking forward to going out to the campsite this afternoon to hang out and "do boy things"... it also may come back to hurt him in counting towards his participation for his leadership position.

We ended up decorating our Christmas tree to make good use of the afternoon. Still, feel very bad for son. I am sure H has constructed his version of events which makes this my fault. *I* made him get showered and dressed and pack a snack and grab the car keys and leave the house and disappoint his son with the power of my voice.

I also wonder/worry if H is going to run out and buy something that son sort of halfheartedly said he wanted for Christmas to appease H and have a connection with him... son tells me he wants family/party board games and co-op games to play, because he wants things to go *together* with us. It makes me so sad for him. He wants to bring us together, but it is outside his power.
