Breathe! I have found that when you aren't trying to find something, you will stumble across it. You may have put it under the bed or sofa. I can't imagine it's very far away. It could very well be in the top of your closet.
Okay, I'm thinking logically here, and I shouldn't...but if your h gave your child the old iPad, then why should you pay him $700 for it? It is old and is definitely not worth $700 these days. You could probably get 2 for that price or if they are on sale, maybe three. He is seriously off his rocker to make that statement.
I am so sorry he's misbehaving again. He really and truly has lost the plot. They all tend to choose one child over the other and make them their special pal. It's not right, but that's what they do. He is projecting his control issues on to you and you know what? He is the master manipulator/controller because he is controlling you through your son.
It might be a true blessing if he visited his friend more often or go to work. You've got so much going on, it's hard for you to focus on any one thing at a time.
I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
