Kat, I think you did fine. I don't know that you should have apologized even, but I like the way you opened it up for discussion. I just think how can people that parent half a day or one day a week criticize the parent that does basically all the work all week!!!! It's so frustrating!!!
I don't think either parent should blame the other, I think you're right that it's a lot of things, like being a teen maybe, but yeah, dealing with his dad's stuff is probably a factor. But going into that doesn't help I guess.
I wanted to share a book I'm reading with you if you're interested. I'm almost done with it and it's really good. I got it b/c I liked the title: Joint Custody with a Jerk but honestly it's a good book. It talks about how you have to figure out if a problem is yours, your child's, or your ex's. And then it tells you what to do depending on which it is. It's been a cool book for me. Karen
