It has been such a horribly difficult year. My son is so unhappy, he can't make himself go to school and it is his junior year, the worst time for this to be happening. I am always here for him even if he is not home. He told me yesterday that he hates me and doesn't respect me. I am not surprised, he never wants to be at home, (well at house our home-life was lost almost two years ago).
I don't have a social life (or friends as they ran like divorce is something you can catch). I am as supportive as I can possibly be and I am trying to model happy behavior (children learn through example) as I have told him being happy is a skill that lasts a lifetime!
Meanwhile my still hopefully soon-to-be-ex has been living the good life. No responsibilities, free as a bird to do as he pleases. He finally sent me an email stating that he is very concerned about our son's school situation and if he had known our son was having so many problems he would have done something sooner. I reminded him that this was part of our court discussion last year. I also reminded him that he has known all along and has done nothing (probably due to the effects of new love, such a wonderful mind numbing state to be in).
My goal this year is to find some happiness of my own. I need some mind numbing love too and these two need to fix their own relationship. Point me to the life raft!
If you have been reading my blog you know that part of my life raft has been budget shopping and writing (so much cheaper than a therapist). Here are links to my latest of both (and thanks for sharing my journey).
