2 weeks yesterday and he's still at the rehab. He calls EVERY night on the premise of talking to the kids. I try to avoid affording him the chance to talk w/me. If he does, I make it short as possible. I feel I'm dealing w/it pretty damn good considering it'd be REAL nice for ONE night not to have him call.

Well, he is mad that I will not bring the kids to rehab to see him. My MIL is watching them overnight Saturday, and for the 2nd time last night, he asked me if I was going to let his Mom bring them up to see him saturday.

I again told him, no, and that we had already discussed this.

He says "are you trying to punish me? because you're punishing them,too"

I said no, I am not trying to punish you, my decision does not have to do with you. And , the children are not being punished. You can see them when you get out of there.

he then says, should I have a counselor call you?

I said, sure you can have a counselor call me, but they aren't going to change my mind.

I feel justified and correct and comfortable with my choice to not put my kids in the car for hours worth of a drive to go to a rehab. I am mad at myself for even questioning myself in lieu of his comments about it.

How soon an addict forgets all of the drama, trauma, and chaos they impose
