My brain is frazzled from all of the conflict. I feel like C is attacking me and accepting none of the responsibility for our predicament. I’ve tried to apologise for my shortcomings (failing to consult her on a decision I made about therapy for my son) but she’s thrown it back in my face telling me I’ve made the same mistakes before, and that she finds it hard to trust me. She says I take decisions unilaterally and don’t value her advice despite clear evidence to the contrary.

Her, standing in front of opened fridge and kitchen cupboard: "Help me with a counting rhyme, I can't decide what to make for dinner!"
Me: "Why can't you decide like an adult?"
Her: "My nearest dice set is too far away..."
Me: "I gave you a small travel dice set to keep in your pockets for stuff like this."
Her: "They are in my backpack, with the emergency medical supplies."
Yes, I went to get the dice.

I was feeling pretty drained last night and wasn't sure if I should bike to work today. My knee was really bugging me going up steps (more than usual) and I decided I would wait til morning to decide, based on how I felt.
I felt totally fine this morning. Reset! I think it's because I walked nearly 5 miles yesterday, and also spent a lot of time on the floor fixing a laser cutter.
