Penguin, it all sounds scarily familiar
He can't seem to stop spending money
Drinks far too much
But it's the never being wrong and never empathising
I remember once I was behind the door when he opened it, and his first reaction wasn't 'are you ok'
It was ' what were you doing behind the door, how was I supposed to know you were there'
And even the other day I was chopping something in the kitchen, and cut my hand, I said ow and even ds came running to see if I was ok, his reaction was 'what' in an exasperated tone. I pointed out that he hasn't even turned around to see what I'd done and he starts blaming the chair ! 'I can't turn around in this chair, blah blah' completely missing the point that he showed zero concern or interest in the fact that I'd hurt myself
Anyway, more food for thought for me
We actually worked together last night to get some stuff sorted for his mum, ended up moving furniture around!
And it was nice to see his mum, ds was v excited to see her this morning
I feel ok thanks cjel, I'll get through it!!
I'm out this morning, so will let mil get sorted in the house and maybe pick ds up from school later on.
