My kids were brought home at 6 pm this evening. They walked in white as sheets, reluctantly gave me a hug. They then said I couldn't be trusted and I am nothing but a lier. They went upstairs and shut themselves in their room. They came out for dinner, ate and went back into their room. Prior to dinner, they had been on the phone with their dad for 40 minutes. I said bedtime at 9:30 and they were back on the phone with their dad by 10. My phone and my hands are tied due to "the parents will not influence nor interfere with the children's communication with the other parent" clause. They are both very aware of that clause
Holy fuck, I knew transition was gojng to be difficult but not like this! I did not force anything, let them be alone, let them feel their feelings. Yes, they knew I was upset and I did cry a little. I asked what could I do to help them?
At bedtime I said that we would take tomorrow off to just hang out and be together again. I suggested we could make a small plan for the next few days, nothing big. A friend gave them Pie Face, or whatever the game is called, for their birthday. I told them I got whipped cream to play.
I am devastated right now and really don't have anywhere to vent We have agreed on a 7-day rotation, which is pretty much what we had 🤬 my hope is we are at least calm and comfortable before they go back next Sunday. My fear is this will begin again.
