Very glad to get back to work. An idol mind gets me in trouble. No contact with the WW other than sharing a few pics from the flooded roads this morning and to see if the kids had school. (I live in Houston)
Called my Mom to wish her a Happy Birthday only to find out she has lung cancer. I won't know the true diagnosis for a few days as they need to run more tests. Needless to say this was a bummer to what had been a solid day with little to no mind drift.
Got home and told the WW the news with out a complete breakdown. I did not become needy or try to use it as emotional leverage. She hugged me and started talking about how my Mother should seek treatment here and stay with us?
I didn't say a word and said I would talk to her more when we had more details regarding treatment.
Several hours later WW asks if I can write her a check for D8's dance/tumbling lessons. I let her know that I already transferred in the exact amount needed into our old account and if there was something else I would write a check out to the particular institution.
I did not ask about her job status or how her day was.
I'm at the point where I think this is all backwards and she should be chasing & begging me. To be honest, I am a great guy who always provided and took care of my family. I carried the burden of financial responsibility for 15 years so the WW could stay home and troll ex's on facebook.
If she can't see what is in front of her face, I can't help that. My Mother's news of cancer put this into perspective for me. I'm really not mad...just a little over it all.
Life is short - live life like there is no tomorrow.
