I have NMMNG, and it is in the queue to be read after NUTS and Mars & Venus Starting Over. I also have Love without Hurt, Radical Forgiveness, Codependent No More and For Men Only on deck. Got a lot of reading to do.
Just spoke with W. Discussed S11 and how he pushes both our buttons, and we need to be firm but understanding, and not let him pit one parent against the other. Came up with schedule for next week, and agreed to have a family dinner one night. Also talked about my bringing kids to Church every Sunday (that they are with me) and how that is a NUT. I made a conscious decision to answer ever question decisively, instead of "I don't know, what do you think", or "Whatever is easiest for you."
Even though I haven't read NMMNG yet, I've picked up a few things here that indicate that I am being too much of a nice guy/doormat, and not enough of a man.
Overall, I can say that I handled the phone call like a man, not a scared little boy. Thanks to FIB and Spellfire for the reality check. I needed it.
