Well, I just talked to my wife who's still at work. She told her mother not to let my step-son come downstairs with me when I got home. Nice.
In any event, I told her what bothered me wasn't her flipping out on me, but her nasty email. Then she says, I just misunderstood it. So I told her as my wife, that she didn't think that would hurt me. She admitted that's why she did it. All I'm looking for is an apology. I kept telling her that too. She knows she's wrong, and was admitting it, but with no remorse or empathy whatsoever. For 10 minutes, I keep telling her, this is exactly what's upsetting me. Her only response: "I don't know what you want me to say", in the most sneary, talking down type way you can imagine.
She absolutely REFUSES to apologize and feel bad about what she said. Good god, if this were me, I'd be a dead man.
Thank you all for your replies. I'll say this. I don't know exactly how this is going to end up. But all of this has made me feel no guilt whatsoever about going to Disney in February by myself. I have a lot of thinking to do. I feel completely disrespected, insulted, and humiliated right now. This is not the way I want to live MY life.
