My Late Friday Story
Dear Readers, Blog Hoppers, and Friends,
I can't seem to find the energy or spirit to write anything today. My mind is scrambling like eggs. It's everywhere, and anywhere. It is the same darn problem every other weekend. The "walking nightmare" that I dreaded to even mention.
Shoo..I know it's his weekend, and I prepared to pack for my son to go but he insisted that he is not going. He took the phone, and went out on the sidewalk to call his dad. He cried out there while I was doing laundry.
He came back inside to tell me his dad wanted to talk to me.
Ha...we were not talking! He demanded me to hand over my son. He wanted the child! He was exercising his father's power. "I'm going to come and take him!" Well, there is something in this sentence that made me quite upset.
My biggest fetish is: not having the right as a human! Why one person thinks that he has the right over another life is beyond me.
The "walking nightmare" told me that my son, 11 years of age, is not allowed to make this kind of decision. I tried to explain to this "solid block of brain" that this is how he learns to make decisions for the future, and to be able to have a say in his own life.
Well, long story short, my son suffered anxiety attack last night. He couldn't sleep. He got stomach cramp. He felt so bad all night.
This morning, my son woke up feeling pain in his stomach, and won't eat breakfast. He didn't want to go to school either even though today is field day. However, I took him to school, and wished him a nice day, only by 10 o'clock I got a call from school to come and pick up my son.
Can you imagine what going on after this? It was just one big headache after another! There was no talking to the "walking nightmare". He had no respect for his own child's feelings and thoughts. They don't count, because my son is just a child!
Join me at Letters of Intent!
Aw, my heart just breaks for him! I hate that he made himself sick over the situation. Is he able to tell you why he doesn't want to go?
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up, I hope the weekend goes by quickly for both of you.
I am so sorry. What a difficult situation for you and your son.
ReplyDeleteGeee...i feel sorry for this.
ReplyDeleteIcy, I don't think your ex wants your son to spend the week end with him out of wanting to be with him, but out of wanting to lord it over you that he has the right to him this w/e. It is as if Jo Jo is an inanimate object. Jo Jo is trying to fight the only way he knows how, by body language, since conversation did not work on block head. Maybe he can show his father that being with him causes him to become physically ill, that is how distasteful the thought is! Maybe counseling would help him. Frankly I'm pretty sure blockhead wouldn't go. He has already proven how self centered he is, it's just about him, but then hasn't it always been?
ReplyDeleteGod bless you. You are all in my prayers!
Foursons,
ReplyDeleteHe just wants to have the weekend to spend with his friends, since this is the first free week that he doesn't have soccer games!
Thanks everyone for stopping by!
Icy, maybe Jo Jo want to spend some of his summer with me?
ReplyDeleteI feel so bad for your son. I hope he is doing better now. I can't believe his father would treat him as if his feelings don't matter. That is a terrible thing to do to your own child.
ReplyDeleteThis is so, so difficult. The fact that he is experiencing anxiety is not good at all. I hope this situation resolves soon, for both of you.
ReplyDeleteIt's a difficult situation and one my son's went through a few times. I'm SO sorry. I know it hurts mom too. :(
ReplyDeleteAw Icy, I'm sorry you and Jo Jo have to go through a situation like this.
ReplyDeleteJo Jo is getting to the age where spending time with friends is very important.
