One Last Pull for this Knot to Break

[sleeper]

I think I did the right thing.

He has never physically disciplined our children and seems to have more problems with DS than DD. Early on in this DS (then 5 or 6) called OM a "J*ckass", repeating what he had heard his mother call him. X wanted me to tell DS to apollogize. I wanted to pin a medal on him for character recognition. That's my boy!

The discussion went much better than I thought it would. By remaining calm and unthreatening I think I came across as the rational, caring parent rather than the jealous X-husband. Funny thing the only other time I mentioned the subject X suggested the three of us (X, OM, and me) sit down and talk about it. She didn't suggest that this time.
