My Wife Walked Out 6

[RSG]

A little update. All day, since he woke up this AM around 6:30 he has uttered the phrase "Mommy wants to hit" and it never made any sense to me. It's been nearly 50 times, and I had never heard it before. He said it a few more times after nap, when he was annoyed he didn't get what he wanted. Finally, I decided to text her because I was really confused.

She took it as I was accusing her of hitting him, and said that if she said that about me I would be complaining about what she was insinuating. I ignored that. We ended up getting to the bottom of it, he was garbling "Mommy doesn't like the hits." He's been hitting/slapping both of us, in the same way. Sometimes when angry, sometimes for no reason. I think he's acting out, W agreed. Although I didn't go further in explaining WHY he's acting out I think it's because he's confused. It's funny, W has mentioned numerous times just how much this little boy depends on stability. And didn't see any irony in the statement whatsoever.

She went on to say, paraphrasing, that whether we want to or not we're "in this together" to help him reach his potential. I ignored that too. What a joke. I do the work, I take care of him, I organize everything, I parent. She plays 6 days a week while I bust my ass being Mommy and Daddy.

Her language is very strange. I can't tell whether she's attacking me, or just trying to draw me into something. Ugh. She just wished us a "good afternoon" I said thanks and that was it....
