Thanks Tree, for understanding my post.

I think because I homeschool and we spend SO much time together, my boys (especially the oldest and youngest) think I'm the queen of the world. lol

Heh, that is awesome.

I hope your oldest keeps his current mindset, that would be wonderful.
You're ahead of where I was-- in that, you're thinking about it(I'd just hoped it would iron itself out on it's own

what a dummy I was/am) and you have a T. to unload on.(I didn't have a T. until the damage was full speed ahead

...) I'm glad for you, I know how hard it is, yes.

But it is a REALLY tricky situation. I don't want to bad-mouth their dad, but I DO want them to know that this is NOT how a relationship should look.

YES! tricky indeed! I never bad mouthed their father either-- after all -- they have parts of their father too.... seems bad mouthing him would be partly bad mouthing them and I couldn't do that, ya know.
I'm so glad for you that you have a T. at this stage in your life, a good one that is there when things get too heavy.

I regret that I was too far into my inner mental struggles, PTSD and dissociation to know that I could have benefited from a T.
You go girl! and, if you need an extra shoulder, someone to listen, to not feel so alone-- I'm here.
respectfully
