All...I am in Charlotte Airport awaiting my connecting flight to Montgomery AL. I am taking a one day course/seminar on a particular graft I use in my practice. It is grey and dreary outside. I am no staying long, only for a day.

Nasty morning at home. STBXW accuses me of 'undermining her as a parent." D6 was screaming to let me drive her to school. Separation anxiety even tho' this trip is only for a day. STBXW wouldn't let her go since this was occuring when D6 was having issues with STBXW.

I finally just said, "W...let it go....just let this go." She refused initially...then...relented....accusing me of 'molly coddling' and undermining her as a parent. I drove her to school. She wouldn't let go of me.

Last night at my one on one parent teacher conference, I decided to just let all this D stuff go and I focused totally on S9's report card, performance, etc. The 'worst' that I said that S9 has had a very difficult year at home (the teach knows we are going thru a divorce) and that D6's recent seizures were rough on him. I thoroughly knew my son's performance, weaknesses, strengths and discussed how to tackles some of his talking in class with the teach. It felt good. Later, I met up the principal and asst. principal in the hallway along with D6's teach and I had a great conversation. The asst. principal has not had any more abdominal pain since I took her appendix out.

I think....I'm .....better.

I spoke with my L yesterday. I trust her and still feel strongly that she knows what she is doing. I am up against very tough odds here and if I lose...for which the chances are great....I will have less parenting time than any other man on this website. It's what they award in NY. I may not even get time during the week.
