My son has 3 good friends over for his birthday right now. We're going to a concert in an hour or so and they're having pizza and cake in a bit. My AH is 'resting' in the bedroom, he's been in there for the past 3 hours. He has not come out to greet our son's friends. The boys probably don't even realize he's here. It's kinda sad. And, AH didn't want to go to the concert because he didn't want us to spend the $25 for the ticket. So, I'm taking 4 teenage boys to a concert by myself. What else is new, and I'm so glad I didn't expect anything from him anyway. Working hard on letting go and letting God and trying NOT to be resentful even though I didn't expect anything. I think it's more about the fact that my son doesn't have his dad present, even though he's in the same house.
My HP only knows throwing expectations would be important for me at this time.
The important thing is to enjoy the moment; I love live concerts; may you guys have fun!
We had a blast, but my voice is shot from laughing with my son's friends all night long. He has some very fun friends! My AH did eventually come out of the bedroom about 40 minutes after the boys were over, and he sat at the table to eat the food I bought. Thanks for the kind words!
