AndrewP DNJ Butterfly Job

Thanks for still being here for me!

I’ve just been so frustrated lately that I needed to vent and it felt good to do so.

DNJ—thanks for the reminder about touching. Sometimes if I get too close she actually moves away. In terms of the bad thing it wasn’t too bad, but her reaction surprised me. Imagine I accidentally hurt myself in a minor way and my wife’s reaction was to spend the next 12 hours refusing to talk to me and playing really loud music and then finally coming to tell me that my expression of pain made her so angry. And the talking? She talks to the children about me as if I wasn’t sitting in the same room (not negatively, but just as if I am not present).

Butterfly and Job—sadly, I’m not too surprised either and know she has so much more she has to really deal with for herself. So the good news is my life otherwise is great—I have more friends and past times and work that keeps me busy and content. Paradoxically, my happiness aggravates W even more, so not really sure I can do anything about that.
