Husband wants to go to bed and it's time for son to go to bed. Sigh.. How to handle both? Don't know. Try to.
I tell my son I have to get daddy in bed and I'll be right back. My son is in bed but stops me and asks, "Mamma, what's it like to have a dad?" "When can I go fishin'? Can't I go with Uncle X?" I tried to explain to him the situation - "Uncle X doesn't even take his own son fishing and you just don't remember all the times daddy has taken you places and done stuff with you, because that is how our minds work when we are kids." I told him I would get all the pictures and videos for him to see (and he's seen some before). I told him I would ask PaPaw to take him fishing, again. He didn't like that! He broke down crying, "I don't want some old man taking me fishin! I hate dad!"
I was so ANGRY! He started boohooing and I mean letting it all out. I told him we don't know how much longer daddy will be here! He asked if it would be days or months or what. Then he just sobbed and sobbed, saying I don't want him to leave.
God help me! He's 11. ALS F U for doing this to our son!
