Ben and aw thank you! I'll continue to do his laundry until he leaves. Status quo. Got it.
Ancient warrior, I'm amazed at your perception regarding being an older child testing the rules. Way back (you know, two or three weeks ago - lol) when he was talking about finding a place I told him he'd not be permitted to drop by willy nilly. He seemed shocked by that. Like I wouldn't let him into his own house. Um, hello. You picked this route buddy. You want a separation, it means we're separated. I have my place, you have yours. If you need something in the house, you need to make arrangements with me to get it when I'm home, not drop by when you decide you need something. We don't hang out on weekends together with our daughter and pretend to be this power divorced couple and I think he truly thinks that's what's going to happen. This will be hard for him, I know, because he's forgetful and scattered so he'll need something, ask if he can come over to get it "real quick" and I won't be home to help out. I want to be kind and whatnot but I'm not going to bend over backwards to be accommodating. Hold him accountable, ancient warrior? Oh yes, I sure will.
