Silas has been looking for attention with negative behavior. Coaxing out a reaction out of others by whatever means necessary.
We were getting in the car when he said,
"I hate you mommy."
Give me a second to find my bearings again.
It was said with a smile looking for a reaction. I didn't give him that pleasure despite my broken heart. Recently I had been pondering how soon those words would reach my ears.
It was said not understanding what it meant, but it still hurt.
Now to get that sound out of my head.
