I head home after getting off work at 430pm and when I go to pick up D6 she wants to hide easter eggs. I tell her it isn’t easter yet silly and she said she really wanted to but she has been asking mommy all day if she would play with the easter eggs with her and W said she didn’t want to bend over to pick up eggs and that it would hurt her chest. I get that W had surgery, I truly do. But how does a woman that has been working out 5-6 days a week not want to bend over slowly to pick up easter eggs for her child when she is bending over to do yoga, jumping back n forth for zumba etc.?
So I tell D6 to bring them with her to my folks house where we are headed for the evening. She happily obliges and in the end my folks and I literally helped hide and then found 22 easter eggs like 4 or 5 different rounds over the evening. D6 thought it was so fun to have someone help her hide them and then she would grab a different adult or two and all the adult had to do was carry the basket and point at the eggs and D6 would go running over and grab them and put them in the basket. It was sheer heaven to the child.
On our way to my folks place I ask D6 about her day including what she had for lunch as I guess I was sensitive to the fact W had not made her supper last night. D6 tells me she did not have lunch today. I asked a second time and she repeated the answer. I tried to re-word it as sometimes it is perceived by her as a snack. I asked her did she have any snacks today and she told me a candy bracelet and a fruit roll-up. WHAT? I made her a bowl of cereal this morning before I went to work but are you kidding me? W literally didn’t feed her lunch today after not feeding her supper last night? Is W literally losing her mind? So D6 proceeds to tell me that she went to kid’s Zumba today and the mall to buy clothing. I asked her if she got any clothing and she said no, only the adults got clothing. I asked whom she went shopping with and of course, W and OW. Before the night was over at my folks place, D6 ate cheese and crackers and deer salami for appetizers, she ate two servings of chicken and dumplings and rice, she ate two small bowls of pudding and about 20 blackberries and then 20 minutes later while my dad and I were playing cribbage and D6 and my mom were making those little pies D6 asked if she could have a glass of milk and some grapes of which D6 ended up having 2 more glasses of milk and the bowl of grapes. My child literally ate like 4 meals last night. Is she capable of that even if she had lunch? Yah, I have seen it before during growth spurts. Is it possible that W fed her lunch or snack of substance and D6 forgot? Yah, that is totally possible. Is all of this simply becoming too much of not a coincidence and instead becoming a pattern of simple sadness for D6 when D6 is with W? IMO Yes.
W has not spent a single day with someone other than OW now in quite possibly months and months and months and if D6 is with W it is a certainty as well that OW is there. So now W is dragging D6 to the gym and the mall but D6 doesn’t get even a lunch or healthy snacks or anything?
D6 and I get home last night and get changed and snuggled in and read 2 poems thanks to the book having a leap year poem in there we didn’t need this year and to sleep she goes. I ended up doing the same thing by relaxing in bed for a while and then simply going to sleep. Never even watched any TV or anything. W got home around 1230am.
Guys, this is crazy. The literal safety of my child is now truly coming into question. IS W simply losing her mind over this A? Is W's # 1 2 3 4 and 5 concern OW and literally forgetting to feed D6? I will have no choice but to ask again tonight verifying whether D6 did or did not have a meal yesterday afternoon as this is truly going too far. I will fight for my marriage but not at the literal expense of D6.
With this being BD day a year ago when I found out about the EA and now understanding how big of a deal that really is (which I did not get at the time) and how long this has gone on, I need to be careful tonight where I go with my question to W but.... This is nuts.
