I'm worried about Prince Charming

I stayed over at my Mom's place last night to help her in and around the house with a few things, such as painting, a spot of DIY, etc. Not only was it a good break for me, but also nice to have some quality time with her without the kids. There was no way I could take the kids if I was going to be painting, so left them at home with STBEH and knew they'd be fine as the nanny was home too during the day, although I don't think STBEH was too happy about it.

Anyway, came back this afternoon to the most frosty reception. He's so angry he can't even look at me and even the guard at the gate asked me why he was so angry as he was apparently rude to him too?!?!

The only reason I can think of for this latest bout of anger is my response to his pathetic payout counter-offer in which my lawyer copied the deeds for the house, which clearly state that I own 50% of the property.

I told my Mom about the situation at home and the severity of the atmosphere here and she was very upset. For me, I'm merely dealing with it as I have no other choice, however my main concern at this stage is Prince Charming. He's been fully potty trained for two years now, however over the last 2-3 weeks he's had numerous little 'accidents'. These accidents aren't happening at night, they're actually happening while he's playing in the day while he's totally aware of what's going on.

So, I phoned a 'specialist' to discuss this and from what she said (obviously without having a proper consultation with PC), it might be due to the stress and tension at home. I was so very deeply upset about this as it is the exact opposite of what I have been trying to achieve whilst having no other option but to live under one roof.

The poor boy doesn't realise what's going on around him. He doesn't even understand the concept of marriage, let alone divorce and though I often reassure him how much we love him, the reality is that it seems the atmosphere must be getting to him.

I'm going to try and make an appointment for him to see a childrens counselor so that we can try and deal with this a.s.a.p. before it becomes worse. Sad thing is that he probably doesn't even realise himself why these 'accidents' are happening.

Now I go into yet another weekend with this shitty atmosphere and, who knows, perhaps even a blow-up, because looking at him stomp around the house, I just don't know what I can expect! I just want it all to be over now!

Wish me luck
