Confused and mix messages. Part 3

[Sotto]

Hi Cherry, sorry you're not having the best night. It's important to keep your expectations of him very low on all fronts right now. Then it matters less to you when he isn't being a great Dad or H.

One thing I've tried to do, is get some new routines going for times of the day that feel a bit tough. If he doesn't want to interact with you, are there other nice things you can do? Bake stuff in the kitchen, go read your book, call a friend or so on? Remember not to depend on him right now for 'nice times' - he's not going to come through on that one for you at the moment. Make your own nice times, whatever he may be up to. If he wants to join in, fair enough...

I admire how you're handling things Cherry - you're doing really well. Find that sassy and confident woman inside of yourself again....
