DH's apology and SS10 made me cry

Today is SS10's last day before he boards the plane back to BM. SS10 left me a voicemail asking me to please come home because he doesn't want to leave without a goodbye. I was shocked so right after work I called DH and told him I am still not happy with him but I want to spend the last day with SS10.

I walk in the door to DH in a suit and tie sitting at the table. He asks me to have a seat gets on his knees hands me roses and a box of chocolate strawberries and starts apologizing. He told me that he is sorry for the way he acted and I didn't deserve that. He admitted that he isn't quite ready for another baby just yet and he really thought he would be but he just is not. He apologized for the way he acted about my promotion. He agreed to counseling. I told him if he fails to show up to counseling or doesn't take it seriously that means he doesn't take this marriage seriously and I might as well go find myself a lawyer. He agreed to counseling and the SS's ran out and hugged me and begged me to come back home and I agreed.

That is not even the topper of the day. SS10 actually took me out to lunch to CiCi's pizza with his own allowance. He told me he can't wait until his next visit and even though BM told him not to call me mom I feel like a mom to him. He even called me cool. He is out with DH right now golfing and having guy time and later on we are going out for dinner and bowling so that he can enjoy his last time here. I think I'm going to miss that kid.

I just hope DH actually gets his act together.

* To put the icing on the cake baby is pooping on my lap with that serious face just great. Lots of love today lol.

That is a wonderful story. I need to read your older entries for the back story. My stepson would put arsenic on my pizza

I am glad that he seems to have finally pulled his head out of his ass. I sincerely hope he follows through and makes the changes needed.

The best part is, you have realized that you are NOT the problem and that you will do perfectly fine on your own!

You can be an example to us all that standing up for ourselves and setting limits on what we are going to put up with can have a good outcome! I'm proud of you.
