My husband just asked me what I'd like to do for Mother's Day.
Shorty is actually interested in the day, and they have been talking about it in pre-school. I haven't seen any changes in her behavior, but I have been crabby all week waiting for the Mother's Day meltdown.
What I am EXPECTED to do, is go to see T in his treatment foster home, where for the 8th year in a row he can treat me like garbage, and remind me that I'm the wrong mom. That has about as much appeal as having a Brazilian Wax.
What I'd like to do is go to the Mitchell Park Domes, or go to a movie or something, and not have to put up with the hateful behavior. However, if I don't go see my sweet charming child, then social services can use that against me as not trying to bond with my child.
What do I do?
