Last night at dinner, S8 asked where I got the t-shirt I was wearing and if he could get one just like it. I shared we can get him one like it but not sure if we can find the exact print (the t-shirt was several years old) and that mom got it for me.
W quickly said something like.. I got a lot of things for your dad but he never got me anything, I was not important to him (why would she have to add that into the dinner conversation, right??). I fell for her trap and a remark slipped from my lips like.. mom has someone special now. I caught myself saying it but it was too late. W pissed.
I not upset that W got upset. I am upset at myself because I should not have said anything (that’s what I should have done). I set myself back for being in control of my feelings.
