S16 has hit a low point. He's struggled with school for some time now and is failing 4 classes. His GF broke up with him, and he's taken it really hard. He's refusing to go to school. When he brakes a rule and doesn't like my consequences, he threatens to move to XW's house and never come back.
This week he was diagnosed with severe depression and his psychiatrist recommended an inpatient mental hospital. So on Monday night, XW and I dropped him off at a hospital for a stay of around 7 to 15 days. After we dropped him off, XW left ASAP, where I thought this might be a moment for us to find some common ground.
I hope this helps S16, but I feel bad that things have gone this far for him. Yesterday I met with the therapist at the hospital, and he said S16 broke down crying in a group session that morning because he blames himself for the D. He's never wanted to talk about the D, even to his IC, so this was a good step for him. But it makes me angry at XW.
Things with XW continue to be terse. She will sometimes hang up on me - the last time it happened all I could do was laugh and put the phone down. She doesn't message me much on OFW any more, and has actually taken to sometimes ignoring my messages on OFW. I don't really care, as long as the kids needs are met.
I was dating someone for about a month and things seemed to be going well, but she got weirdly possessive and jealous of my time and withdrew. With everything going on with my son, I just didn't have the mental energy to deal with R issues and I ended things.
I'm taking a break from OLD for a while to focus on my son as well as sort through things in my head. I'm starting to see I have some trust issues...
