Here we are.  It's Thursday.  It's almost 5:00, which means it won't be too long before Anthony comes home.  Anthony has tomorrow off - the first Friday he is supposed to have off that he actually has gotten to take in over a month.  Yay!
I haven't been at all physically aggressive with Max, nor have I yelled at him, nor spoken to him in a humiliating way.
Max, on the other hand, has yelled at me, spoken over the top of me, spoken extremely rudely to me, physically attacked me with a large blue hard plastic bin and much more.  All except the blue bin deal was many times today.
Yeah.  I know.  He's the child.  I'm the adult.  It gets real old, though.  Like I've said before, especially when he was really into hitting me, I feel like I'm living in an abusive relationship.  If he were my husband, everyone would be telling me to leave him.  He's not, though.  He's a little kid who's been through a lot.  So, we stick with him.  That doesn't mean I have to like it.
 
He would drive me insane... and I work with kids!
ReplyDeleteYou're my hero. I have mentioned that, haven't I?
That is so hard - when kids hit you - it rocks you to your core, and it really hurts your feelings! It makes it so hard to respond "correctly".
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying your day together.
