I've done a pretty good job of detaching so far. It's only been a few days but there have been some pretty significant challenges. Know for a fact that my wife talked to her "friend" (guy) on Tuesday night (and she knows I know because it's on Facebook) after I left. I didn't mention it at all. She asked me if anything was wrong and I said, "no, I actually had a good, busy day at work, heading to the gym when I leave here" (I fortunately have a job that can be pretty rewarding). I could tell she was a little taken back by that statement. But it was 100% true. When in doubt, speak the truth I guess?
Left the gym to head to my uncles house to stay and I get a phone call from w. I could tell she was a little shaken. Our son is a great kid. Great attention span, very kind, his pre-school teachers love him. He's usually great to our daughter. Apparently my wife walked out of the room and she came back and our son was on top of our daughter and punching her. Needless to say, that is totally out of character for him. She said she punished him and sent him to bed an hour early. This is really the first real "challenge" we've faced during our separation as it concerns the kids. She kind of alluded to him being mad that it may have to do with the separation. Through the whole conversation with her, I was calm & cool. She asked me what I thought she should do and I said he needs to understand that is not EVER okay. And told her we could talk about it today if she wants. We'll see.
Hardly slept last night because I was thinking about my son.
