I don't know what to think anymore. I am really trying to be happy with SO, but the truth is that I'm not. And I believe that while he can fix it, he won't. Reflecting on it now, I think that because I came out of such a dysfunctional relationship, I saw SO as being such a catch, I did for a moment believe he was The One.

Both of the skids, especially him, like to make a mountain out of a molehill when they are sick, and I mean stomachache, headache sick, not vomiting or diarrhea sick which is completely different.

If you remember, SS11 also has the issue of lying a lot. Anyhow, when he gets home with SS16 Wednesday night, he starts complaining that he doesn't feel well. I told him he could leave his homework for the next day, take a shower and go to bed (they get home at about 9pm since they go to SS16's boxing gym first).

SS16 was due for his first boxing match yesterday, not pro just an event. He started telling me Friday evening that he really wanted his gf to go but because of the expected snow she would probably not make it. I knew where he was going with it, so I changed the subject.
So he asks SO to speak to him, and at that point asks him if gf could sleep over Friday night. SO very very stupidly (in my opinion), and without consulting with me said yes.

Today there was a patient on my unit whose daughter thinks the SM is abusing because "he gets hospitalized too much". Mind you, the patient is not being brought in with bruises, he's alert and oriented enough to where he could verbalize abuse. Daughter wants say in father's care, however SM is the healthcare proxy. Just my opinion but if someone didn't bring him into the hospital I might consider THAT to be abuse. Made me think of all of us on here.
