Trying really hard to let this go...I was scheduled to have a one-on-one with my middle child (just him and me without other brother or sister).

My ex who has no concept of time has wasted time and now needs to complete a project on Friday and Saturday. We've been delaying the one-on-one for over a month now.

I am mad and frustrated. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

So sorry you are experiencing this, Direction!
Letting go...well...not something you should HAVE to do with your child!
Sorry!

Thanks - I needed to vent - I have reacted very differently to her since our divorce - taking a step back - we are both getting treatment for our issues - She has a dx with ADD, OCD, and suffers from an ED.

So I don't take it out on her or the kids - but today I'm grumpy and needed to let it out.

Need to vent again - I had emailed her that I thought it was important for her to attend the childrens therapy sessions. She indicates that it would be inappropriate for her to sense he is my T also. Just recently changed as I feel really comfortable with him.

I'm I crazed - I go for my own issues - they go for their issues!

We have joint custody - there must be agreement - how far do I push this? Putting the boys first maybe it is me who should choice a different clinic?

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I've allowed this to push my buttons and it is consuming me. Letting go.. Letting go..

I had made so much progress in just accepting that was the way she was. Why can't I let it go?

I'm so angry! Letting go..

I feel miserable...barely functioning at work. I want to go home and lay in bed. Letting go..

being a parent to me is about putting them first and if it's the only way to solve this you may have to find another clinic. it is not fair and i am not condoning what you wife is saying either

Direction, i spent about 16 years with these kinds of games concerning my children and their father. It would take pages to tell you the crap he pulled on us. Do what is best for the children. I always turned away and turned the other cheek and the girls and I have a wonderful relationship (most of the time) and he is alone, with his younger wife, and lonely now. xoxoxo pat

p.s. it isn't about HER, it's about the children. Always remember that..........she's not even a blip on your radar of life..........trust me on this one, love pat

I have always done what is best for the children...

I feel so beaten - the games she plays out of the 21 sessions so far this year she has attend I think three. The issues are all related to her and the boys having problems.

Fine! I give up I let her know that I'm withdrawing from that clinic. F*** it I just want go to anyone.

I wish I had words to make this better or a magic wand....

When it comes to your children, it is so near and dear to our heart.s.. I know it is when my son is involved (he's 22)...

no magic wands... just words of comfort...
