Re: When you feel like you want to give up! CDNgurl: He simply can't control your life anymore... I know he gets under your skin, but you need to not react. You're feeding him by reacting.
In my case - no contact. It works.
I'm sure part of you still loves G, but with the drinking and the history... I'm not sure its worth a moment of your thoughts.
About wanting the Saturday on your weekend - that is simply unfair. You work all week, and then you can't have a full weekend with your son? But G can?
I know on my weekends, I like to go camping, go travelling through Ontario. He would be unfairly restricting that.
You could always negotiate say 3 "floater" Saturdays he could take advantage of each year, with proper notice.
You can PM me for feedback or to bounce stuff off me. I've been down your road, with a kick *ss lawyer who is presently a panel lawyer for the Director of the Family Responsibility Office.
Re: When you feel like you want to give up! faraday: You ARE ONE OF THE STRONGEST WOMEN I KNOW!!! Just because you need a boost does nothing to diminish that! You are a caring, wonderful mom and person- who is being driven insane by her ex....you know that what you are doing is right hon, you know that he is doing this to make you feel small and insecure- do NOT let him take what you have built away- Do NOT let him make you feel like this- you are doing great, and on top of all that you help others- you are unselfish and giving- and he is just pissed that he no longer deserves to receive any of your kindness- Keep fighting- I am in your corner any time you need it.
