yes, I think she spites the hell out of me right now.
I just felt like I had to at least say that she needed to bring the boys so they could be with me and not him this coming weekend.
do you not agree that at a certain point I had to put my foot down at least for the sake of my relationship with my boys-- and seeing them? she has essentially kept them at arms length for the last 6 months, dictating my contact with them and out of "respect for her space" I have not said anything yet.
I'm not so sure she would have come this weekend if I hadn't..uh told her to.
and do you not agree that it was appropriate to set boundaries that the OM cannot have contact with my kids? I mean its messed up and they are getting confused...
in retrospect, I see how these actions may backfire and push her away more... but I also am not sure I can just lie back and let her keep my boys from me, and have them spending time with him, perhaps setting up the stage for one big happy family-- without me.
