    I'm a little confused. Why, on Mother's Day, were you expecting your wife to spend her day going to see your father, your stepmother, and your mother? If there ever was a day a woman should probably get a break from seeing her in-laws, it's probably Mother's Day. Your wife is the mother of your child. Did you at any point in the day celebrate her motherhood? Also, is your wife's mother living? Did your wife get a chance to connect with her own mother?

      ...Because mothers never put them selves ...first!,NEVER!.
      ...I spent my day cooking for my H's family for "mothers day" thats what selfless women do, is it wrong? yes, but we don't think that far.

      In this case his college graduation happened to fall on mother's day. That's the college's fault not his. So the family was going to his college graduation.

      well to be honest she didn't have to but wanted to, and we do not have contact with her mother...long story.

      I thought he said that his dad and stepmom were on their way out of town after traveling there for his graduation; i.e., the graduation was not that morning. That's my understanding because they setting off right after waking up in order to meet the in-laws on their way out of town.

      For me, one of the glories of Mother's Day is that is the ONE day I know I can sleep in undisturbed, and even get breakfast in bed from my loved ones. No way would I be scrambling to go meet the in-laws first thing in the morning on their way out of town. But that's just me.

    Classic manipulator behavour 101. Straight from the manipulators text book. Just go without me. A comment said but not meant & designed to set you up for a fight. Sure enough you will be the worlds greatest assho..le for ditching her.



    For what its worth you did the right thing. My wife pulls this kind of behavour all the time and i just go. No waiting no argument. Just tell her calmly when she blows up you told me to go dear i dont understand why your upset at me for listening to you.



    Before you make the call to ditch her visit a divorce lawyer and find out your rights. Start to prepare some form of exit plan. Involve your parents in this where possible. If they can help your life will be made easier, regarding custody arrangements etc.



    Stay Strong & Good Luck

    The sooner you can get poisonous people out of your life the happier you will be. She shows disrespect and a total lack of love for you. Go to a lawyer as soon as you can.

    Just ignore the whole situation... and go without her again if she won't shift her ***...



    ...and just keep right on ignoring it... just smile and nod til you have your ducks in a row... and what VaguestBaby said...



    Oh, and do try not to have it end on Mother's Day... your son will hear a rehash of what a bastard you were to cause it to end on Mother's day til hell freezes over... don't do that to the poor guy.

    If your parents are reasonably close perhaps you can gain some allies in helping with the kid. There are also changes likely due to graduating and other stuff that will cause shifting around in your life pattern. Whoever leaves is usually the one that gets nailed in the end when it comes divorce time. If you can get her to go and leave the kid in your custody a lot of your battle will already be in your favor. That's unlikely to happen but just in case.

    Keep your cool and your eye on the prize.



    That "Oh, just go without me" is another not so innocent sadistic dig to drag you into some wriggling for her pleasure. Don't bite the hook!!!



    Enjoy your graduation, honor your parents, and put that drip on the shelf. Try to make it a game, the handling of her, but you can just mostly ignore her today.



    Like she does you.
