CanBird,

You've apologized, now let it go. This is your home and you should be able to go anywhere you want w/o having to text the man/child. The only place that appears to be somewhat off limits is the garage, so I would try to stay clear of that area unless you need something in an emergency.

You have a child, therefore, she's going to be running around and you certainly can't pen her up in one area for any length of time. Treat him like a teenager....if you want to sit or be in a particular area, go there and don't text him. If he doesn't like it, he can go elsewhere. Take back some of your control. Remember...you can control your actions, but you can't control his and yes, his emotions are running high and he will lash out...but you don't need to take it over something as silly as you are following him. Good grief! Next thing you know, he'll say you've tainted the pots and pans.

Control what you can and let the rest go. No more walking on eggshells and no more apologizing for "living" in your home and doing what comes naturally w/your daughter...being all over the place. He will either get over it or he can go stew in the garage.


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.
