You're right, kml. I was reacting to his demanding tone. I struggle very much with him making demands on our child's time after he abandoned us. There was one incident in the first couple of weeks after he walked out that S had tonsillitis and a seizure overnight. I was sick with strep throat and struggling to handle everything. I asked H if he could please come over and help me with S. He said a flat no. But then wanted to take him to the beach that weekend.
I need to work on being less reactionary. Issues concerning S are my biggest trigger point.
