I just have to tell myself to relax and breathe through my nose. I've been told that anxiety/stress can be a contributor, and my mother called earlier. Perhaps talking to her caused a lil anxiety I dunno. I'd thought I wasn't going to have to talk to her today.

whooaa...deep breath...there could be many reasons why your husband went to bed at 5, but let him be and try not to catastrophize (?) your entire life. You know you are a good mom, remember that! Like someone else suggested, maybe he was freaked out by what happened? He isn't perfect, and hopefully tomorrow he will be able to explain it to you.
I'm sorry you feel so terribly about this

Did he suddenly say "I'm going to bed," and that was that?
