FG - that was an interesting article. I think I always knew the premise, but didn't really understand it as well as I do after reading that. So, basically...if I stop treating him like he's an incompetent, idiot, that isn't as smart as me, and can't do anything right, including taking care of his responsibilities....maybe, just maybe....he'll start acting like a competent, intelligent, smart, responsible, dependable, father and ex-husband?
So, regarding the UI money. What if when I see him, I just ask how the job search is going....sympathize with him. Ask him how the battle goes with UI. If he says he still isn't receiving any money...I'll just look at him & say okay". Then go get it through the DA. If I fight him for the money...and tell him I know...he'll just get defensive and mean. But, if I say "Ok", I think he'll know that I know. Who knows. I hate this sh!t
