Parallel lives, my friend...it's just uncanny...I can't tell you how much it helps to read post this morning - as I've been having quite the week with my STBX. Your calm, reasoned responses - and your commitment to boundaries is fantastic. I think it's especially valuable to point out the ways in which our children might inadvertently play parents against one another - and that's when it's the parent's job to be rational - and give the ex-partner the benefit of the doubt.
