Am I Creating a SSM Part III

[Burgbud]

Did he tell the kids you were picking him up before his conversation with you about the vehicles? If so, he's point blank manipulating you with the children.

Yes, he did. But I didn't feel like he was manipulating, he was just assuming that this time would be like every other time and I would switch vehicles and pick him up. Like always.

Whoops, I said that backwards. I should have said: "Did he tell the kids you were picking him up *after* his conversation with you about the vehicles? If so, he's point blank manipulating you with the children."

So I'm glad he hasn't done that. And you're fine to tell the kids, "Well, it didn't work out to go pick up Daddy," and leave it at that.

We've had this discussion before, but as much as I can relate to H and as much as I've done many of the stupid things he's doing, the truck thing and the kissing thing never fail to astound me. He's made the truck yours and OMs instead of yours and his. H doesn't take back what OM "took"; he gives it away. He lets OM control him to an amazing extent.
