Hello all. It has been a long while since I have been on PC and miss chatting with the friends I had made before. School is going well, just finished Physiological Psych which was tough, I'm pushing forward.

I wanted to get a thought or two on something. About 11 years ago I was divorce from my son's mom and later remarried. My son, now 14, lives with us and his siblings. However, his mother continues to speak and respond to me as if I am that person she was married to those many years ago. I try to keep the conversation about our son and his growth and maturity and she turns it into an "us" issue. I know that after some of the psyc classes I've taken I could probably psychoanalyze why, but I don't want to do that. Sometimes I just want to have a real conversation with a "mature" adult and it not turn into a mess. Then I feel like I'm compromising more than I should for the sake of my son.

I talk to my son about what his mom and I talk (argue) about because I want to know where I stand on everything. Never to feel like he is a problem. And I reassure him that he will never hear me talk bad about his mom. Although he has said that was not so on her part.


I may be just unloading my thoughts, but I am always listening. Stay golden and thank you...
