Woke up right at 5.50am without an alarm, that's always kinda convenient. Cooked up some ground breakfast sausage and used some to make a burrito for Tommy. He was a bit sullen, I suspect because of the conversations and issues the night before re. music choices but I let it go and we didn't discuss. He was up and ready quickly, and it was a relatively quiet drive. I felt bad for him. All this seems to be coming to a head for the guy. Dropped Lauren later after a quick stop for neighbor's dog feeding tasks she's doing. Managed meetings and work tasks and whipped up a batch of egg bites too. Tommy called around 4.30 asking to come over vs going to him mom's who was not responding to his call. I said it was ok. She dropped him around 5pm and she was embarrassingly shouting at him as she drove away. He looked so worn down. We talked about it all, I shared with him how he played a role in the dysfunction and was as responsible for keeping it going as she was because of his tone, comments, and refusal to listen as well as be heard. We talked about a number of things related to his feelings throughout the divorce, before, after, and more. I feel more and more that the way to help him disengage from the dysfunction is to talk about it, point out the behaviors that exacerbate it and give him opportunities to reflect. Hopefully it helped. I don't want him using me as an escape from resolving his conflict with his mom and I hope to help him find better ways to manage himself. Jen came back from dinner with Cheryl and a wonderful gift and addition to our home,as pictured. I"ve always loved this image of hers and now I have it. Really grateful.
