My Wife Walked Out 6

[RSG]

haha! Tonight I'm going to try some Kung Pao chicken. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

So pickup today. At first she said 5, but then asked if I'd pick him up at 4 because her meds are wearing off. I said sure and her response was "OK, see you at 4 with Bubba!." She took him to the Dragoncon parade downtown, and she said he did ok. He and his clothes (those he's wearing and in his bag) smell like Chinese food and his sippy cup reeks. She told him "bye, I'll see you Tuesday!" as he got out of her car and then ran to her car while I buckled him in mine. She rolled up to me as I was walking back to my door and asked what we were doing this weekend. I said I didn't know, she said ok and sped off.

When she texts me, she uses all kinds of emotions. Exclamation points, emojis, happy and sad language. At dropoff, it's mainly emotionless which seems weird. Because it was literally a 1 minute dropoff, I text her after we got home and asked if she'd like to spend some time with him Monday since it was a holiday (not all 3 of us, just her and him). She said I'll let you know. I just said ok, have a good weekend.

She said yesterday she wanted to spend time with him, but after about 24 hours she's had her fill. She has said a couple times she would like to spend more time with him, but hasn't acted on that in the least. This bothers me very much. It makes me sad for my S, but it also pushes me towards D. Why? It feels like she's extricated herself not just from me, but from the family as a whole and doesn't want to parent. Sure, she'll ask all kinds of questions of me and says a little bit to his teachers. But I do 90% of the work. Very seldom does she say thank you for it either. I'm doing it for him, but you'd think his MOTHER would care.

Maybe this is part of her journey, I don't know. I could say more but I think you get the gist.
