Hey Betsey! Too funny! I had similar thoughts about a suspicious demise...
Saw W at the gym this afternoon, as she rushed by w/ no hello. I had my back to her (she had to have seen me), but I didnt see her until she raced past. Could she be communicating the need for space? My insurance agent walked in as I was leaving and we joked about my policy rating. Bumped into another friend who asked me to play some BBall w/ him some time. Nice simple but positive interactions that helped to boost the PMA after W's brushoff.
I tried to communicate a need to cooperatively work on S5's bedwetting, and other things last night, but she merely got angry. She got defensive about my statement that diapers aren't a solution, and claimed that S5 is "lazy, unmotivated, and doesn't care. What's wrong with him?" (loudly, I'm sure he could hear). I find it hard to validate her upset when she's tearing him up verbally in my absence within 90 min of me returning him home. I'm also at a loss for how to cooperatively parent with her in this state.
Do I just do my own thing with him? And assume she'll do otherwise?
Also, could this be related to my telling her that I still loved her in the prior week and her time alone this weekend?
