Hey, glad to have generated a bit of 'thinking outside the box', I read but rarely post...and no Caz, its not about changing the MLCer, its about changing our own behaviour, sure. But, its a moving target, maybe its time to reassess a little (if he IS frustrated to have not seen you lately)?...who knows what affect it would have if you changed tack and tried to extend a tiny olive branch of friendship? I think that would serve you better than the itching powder trick (and what about respecting HIS boundaries and telling your son thats no way to behave? You cant expect respect from your ex, if you dont treat him with respect?) Sometimes, you have to take a risk.. afterall, what at this stage, with the D having gone through.. do you have to lose??
Like you say tpascal, just food for thought is all! And I appreciate that some of the posters here, like Trusting, have been through a really tough time.
So Trusting.. are you going to send him a friendly text about the party!?
