Hello LovetheKing: This situation is really beyond the Skeezyks' level of experience. So I'm afraid I can be of little help with resolving your dilemma. But I saw that you had not yet received a reply to your Thread. So I thought I would at least leave a reply letting you know I had read it.

Personally, I have never had any tolerance for this kind of disagreement & "infighting". I have always simply turned my back & walked away from these types of situations. It's probably not the ideal solution. But my experience tells to me that people don't change their attitudes or behaviors very much, especially over the short term. And trying to keep figuring out ways to work around peoples' anger simply ends up making the whole situation just that much more complicated. The more you try to figure out ways to make peace, the more enmeshed you become in the whole dysfunctional relationship.

Of course, in your case, there are also some legalities involved since your child's father has legal rights where the child is concerned. My personal opinion is that this is a situation that is going to present ongoing challenges... probably for many years to come. It may be something that would be best addressed, over an extended period of time, with the help of a skilled family therapist. I wish you well...
