My Ex spouse is more a Jack-Mormon (doing what suits and motivates him the best) and a Narcissist.
He just moved to a new place and invited our adult child to live with him. My adult child is expected to pay rent, which I fully agree he should, as it is a benefit to him due the high rents in our area.
The kitchen was an explosive mess, the ex saw my face and said "Yeah I need to get to that but Im just so busy that I don't have time" He proceeds to tell me of all the things he needs to get done for church and work and tells me his home/family life is not high on this list.
Im not shocked, Ive been thru this scene before, because he was always focused on meeting the approval of Church Inc. before his interpersonal relationships.
The ex then tells me that our adult offspring should do it for him. I laughed.
The ex said "Well Im hardly ever home bc of all my tasks".
I reply, all things start with home and family. If that falls apart or is in constant chaos...it reflects on every thing else.
My adult child is willing to put up with it for the cheap rent. As I drove away...Im glad that's not the circus I live in any longer.
