Last night talking to my son he said that he is sad because his Mom loves Nick more than she loves him. I asked him why he felt that way and he said it’s because she will go swimming with him and won’t with them (the kids). A side note, the stbx has always hated swimming and will never get into the lake with the kids. I told him that she loves him more and that she always will. I talked to him for a while and tried to reassure him.
I then called her and told her what he said. She was surprised that he said that. She doesn’t think she told him she went swimming with Nick. I said she might want to call him to reassure him. She did call, but even at bedtime he wasn’t convinced.
I continue to be surprised that she hasn’t learned to temper he talks about “all the fun” she has with Nick. It always upsets them and she clearly doesn’t get it.
