I'll admit, it's kind of strange. But that's really pretty much how it all went down.
My concern isn't that she's a bad mom. It's that she doesn't have the backbone to really, really fight through hard things. Last night she was having trouble with him at bedtime (he lives with her). She wanted to bring him to me, drop him off, and leave so I could deal with it.
We had a huge argument about it. I have ADHD. Our son also has very many of the symptoms, and recently a doctor said he's got it as well. One of the symptoms is difficulty getting to sleep.
So I basically put my foot down and told her that her excuse for leaving me was my depression (a major side effect of ADHD) and she's basically doing the same thing to him.
After I finished telling her what I thought...her tone changed.
She brought me breakfast this morning.
I'm skeptical. But any softening is better than none as long as I don't mess this all up.
I'm keeping my son all weekend. That always makes me anxious because she has a lot of free time when she's not working. BUT...I'm doing everything I can to just not think about it. So...we'll see.
