Do I have to......? cadillacjack: Do I have to accept the BF? My daughter talked to this loser on the phone.....it makes me ill. I wish he'd contract the Ebola virus.
Do I have to respect my ex's views? That he is a part of her life hence he is a part of MY kid's (who I have custody of) lives?
Do I send them there over spring break? If I do then they are with them (him). If they don't go, then I am accused of denying access or game playing.
Do I explain to them that this pr!ck has done everything in his power to take and keep their mother from them? She lives 5 hours away, I know he feels safer when he's that far from me and rightfully so.
Do I have to accept that she has hurt them badly by leaving and now wants to be part of their lives?
Do my kids have to respect him? Tolerate him? Whatever?
Do I have to put up with this?
Do you have to let me vent? No...but thanks anyways
Re:Do I have to......? Shanna: you know the law will make you let them see their mom and as long as dude isn't hurting them then he is part of it, too.
I AM Sorry you have to deal with this. we are all here for you.
HUGS

Re:Do I have to......? LostTeacher: i think you don't have to like it, but you do have to deal with it.
i can't imagine having to deal with it, though. i know even the thought of seeing my stbxh with someone else would kill me. you are a strong person to try to deal with it anyway.
it's a tough road. you can vent, and not like it, but i think that the mature thing to do is be civil. not cave in, but be civil. i think that your children will SO appreciate you for that.
