a young marriage in trouble

[lnlyshp]

Feeling lonely today. I watched my son all day long, which is always nice, but doing it alone is so tough sometimes. He is sick, the poor thing. I am taking the best care of him that I can, just very tiring without some help.

The past few interactions with W have been up and down. I was out with a friend and she kept trying to drop him off to me, even though I kept explaining that I wasn't home. She seemed annoyed that I wasn't home already and kept responding to me with "K", which I know was an attempt to upset me (she knows it pushes my buttons). Didn't let it phase me though, just stayed calm and explained I would pick him up as soon as possible (she'd literally only had him for half a day, so not sure what the big rush was).

Today, I asked if she was going to pick him up after work tomorrow (as per the plan we made at the beginning of the week) to which she said "Yes". I said okay, thank you. No response. Really frustrating sometimes to deal with the one word/letter responses. I'm not going to bring it up to her or anything, just venting here. It's hard to get the cold shoulder all the time when I'm just trying to be nice and make sure she'd still be able to get him. I need to leave as soon as she normally picks him up to go to my counselor (didn't tell her that of course), otherwise I wouldn't have even asked.

Sigh. Any tips on dealing with the icy courtesy? I know to stay positive no matter what and give it time. I just don't see why she has to be so rude.
