It's nice to have support, but if you can learn to do without you will be much stronger for it.
I hope I can.
But the thing is, is that W has always had someone to bail her out, and that’s what bothers me the most.
She’s gotten pretty far in life by having help from others.
The house that we lived in early in our MR? I bought that for her—her credit was, uh, poor, so the mortgage and everything was initially in my name. Then we sold that so she could take her job.
How did she get her federal job? Through their friends and family program—where her mom works and gave her the recommendation.
When we first moved out here for her job? I was a stay-at-home-Daddy for 6 months or so.
She has talked about ‘making her career THE priority.’
Her student loans? Mom helped pay on some, and then she got student loan payment from her employer. She’s now loan-free.
And now this.
Since W has been sick this weekend, her mom is here to help, and she will probably spend the night to help W with YS while I take OS to Mass / Sunday School tomorrow morning.
My eyes cannot roll far enough back into my head. I always thought she was so independent.
I know this means I’m probably NOT detached, but whatever right now.
