We decided to stagger the boys' nap times because I would literally spend two hours or more fighting with them to finally calm down and go to sleep. That meant that I was actually alone with SS, which almost never happens. BS is there or DH is there, it's never just us. It was a little weird, honestly. And in the course of our chatting it got very sad, very quickly. BM hasn't called SS Thursday but in that time she's called DH, in the morning which she knows he works in the mornings, complaining that she hasn't talked to him and how dare he interfere with her talking time with SS. DH told her that we were moving couches the day she tried to call and to call back that night (It was Saturay night this conversation happened we were moving couches on Friday) and he'd be sure to make SS talk to her... Well, stupid ass hasn't called since. Fast forward to today SS and I were sitting on our (NEW!!!!!!) couches and he randomly turns to me and said 'My mom and sissy are going to fly in an airplane and I'll wave to them from the yard and they're going to move here.' So I asked him, 'Why do you think they're going to move here? Did someone say they were going to?' He nodded and said 'Yes, my mom told me she was going to.' Now the conversation alone isn't strange, of course he wants his parents to be near each other so they could see each other but the look in this poor little boy's eyes was just heart breaking. He wanted so badly for me to tell him that he would be seeing his mom and sister just to confirm that she hadn't abandoned him. I feel so badly for him. I know that it's best for him to be as far away from BM as possible and honestly feel terrible that the other guy she conned into spawning with doesn't care about his kid like DH does so that baby has to grow up with a moron like BM. But I had already decided, a very long time ago, that I would never lie to SS for her. I would not lie to SS to make her look good because it would just build him up to be torn down when he realizes her for what she is. A useless sack of nothing. We all knew this was coming... I just didn't think it would be so soon... He hasn't even been with us a month and he's already figuring out how stupid she is...
