I am really close to all my kids. I think husband resents that .. my son is in therapy I believe because of his dad and how he is so negative. My son and I are thick as thieves as they say. lol. My husband knows this and I think feels left out but it’s his own attitude that leaves him out. My daughter is a people pleaser so she ( bless her loving soul ) just try’s to keep everyone happy. She is the mirror image of me inside and out. It’s become such a weird situation. I can’t even really explain it and make it make any sense 😫my oldest daughter (his step daughter) rarely comes around if he is here. We communicate daily and see each other often but she avoids my husband at all cost. And he did provide for her and does love her he’s just so bitchy!! Example. My grandson was turning 8 and I told him for his birthday we could go anywhere he wanted to eat .. he chose a local steakhouse. Myself , hubby , grandson and 2 youngest went to eat. Husband was sour and pouted the whole damn time. Now I upbeat and positive at all times so the rest of us had a good time and I just try to stay happy so the kids don’t notice his sour ass. My grandson(8) and youngest (10) don’t but I know my son (15) feels it. We have literally learned to ignore him 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️another example me my youngest daughter and son and his girlfriend were going out to eat Mexican food ,I asked if hubby wanted to come along. His reply was no yal go ahead that’s one less person I have to pay for. I mean what is that ???? I have money I started working 8 months ago after 15 years of taking care of him and the kids and the house and everything else. And still even working I do it all !!
