Sorry you are feeling down today Callie, but you are right... it's your H's loss that he isn't involved now and he wasn't very involved before. You know the blessing it is to have this time to spend with your kids, and it's a shame he can't realize what he is missing out on.
Sounds like spewing to your friend was a good tactic for you... whatever keeps you sane is worth doing, even if the strategy itself might seem a little crazy.
Merry Christmas Callie. I hope you and the kids have a wonderful say tomorrow. Embrace the joy that is available to you.
