I have not blogged in a while because things have been mostly the same. SS has started not participating in any of our family activities. Even if we go anywhere, he will not talk and will walk off on his own. DH has been very upset by the behavior. SS refuses to answer texts when he is with BM. He also won’t inform DH of anything, even if it’s something important like a game being cancelled. DH has driven all the way there only to find out that the game was cancelled. I find that so unacceptable.

SS also refuses to talk to the therapist. Luckily DH’s insurance will start covering therapy soon. But it is frustrating that he is unwilling to let anyone help him. BM has stopped saying anymore lies about us to SS. We hope so anyway. But she was burned by the lies she told SS so she seems on board to fix it.

Meals at our house are still kind of tense. SS has a strange suspicion that the food DH is cooking is not as good as what we eat during the week, which is not true at all. DH has started not defending himself about what he cooks during the week. But it’s still a very negative atmosphere.

Ever since DD blocked him from instagram, he is convinced that DH is doing fun stuff with my kids during week, which is again not true. DH has not taken these accusations well but he is remaining firm with SS.

And don’t get me started on the dog. I never in my life thought that a fluffball could create so much drama and tension in the house. She passed obedience training and had a graduation ceremony last Sunday. It’s stupid I know. But DH wanted to make it a family thing. Of course SS did not want to come but DH had enough and said he didn’t get to choose. Then SS says he has a party to go to that same Sunday. But since he didn’t tell DH about it earlier, DH said no the party. Those were the rules.

So what does SS do? On Sunday morning he gets on the bus to BM’s town. He actually paid the 17 dollars from his savings to do that. And he did all of this without telling any of us. DH was sick with worry, especially since SS just replied with “I’m going to the party” and nothing else. Luckily SS called DH’s father to pick him up at BM’s town.

It was such a disaster of a Sunday. DH was so angry with SS. As punishment, he is not allowed his phone and is grounded for a long time. I have that to look forward to this weekend. Wish me luck.
