I have been stressing the last few days over what 'might' happen tomorrow. My S (11) has been hit hardest by this. My D(16) and D(15) do not seem to be affected in the slightest. I can understand that, when he was here he spent every waking moment playing video games online. He had a headset on his head and would talk for hours with his 'guild'. If they asked him a question he would get mad or send them to me. They would stand right next to him and call me while I was at work to help them find something because he would not leave his game.

They would only talk through me. If we were all in the same room, they would still find a way to communicate only through me. For example, my H would ask me what my D was doing on Saturday, even though she was right there. It wasnt done in a mean way, they just could not communicate with each other.

But my S is slightly different. He has thicker skin and huge rose colored glasses. So he did not mind my H behavior.

So I am stressed out about tomorrow. I just want my S to be OK at the end of the day tomorrow. There is a Father/Son baseball game (watching, not playing). My H said he would go (if I paid...) I bought the tickets and I tried not to tell my S about it. That way if H did not show up, my S would never know. The school told him about it and gave him the tickets. So my S knows. I believe there is less than a 10% chance my H will actually show up tomorrow.

Do I take my S to the Father/Son outing? Will he be embarrassed if his MOM goes?
