so son and I set off to walk to his school, who was parked up with engine running near to the end of the side road we had to walk past,,yes you guessed ex, he set off and pulled along side us and asked if we wanted a lift, what more could I do because son was with me but get in, anyhow we went to the parents meeting, no feelings no nothing left inside me now towards ex he didnt even make my heart flutter. we read sons report together and discussed a few items, had a laugh or two and then went in to meet the teacher, this teacher is the same one that son as had all the way through exs happenings so she is well aware of everything, she praised son so much for how well he as come on attitude, manners and everything she is totally overjoyed into what a marvellous person my son as turned into, so different to the previous years. so yes folks what I am saying is this crisis does have an effect on the children and it is noticeable to teachers as well. anyhow I felt the need to update the teacher on what was happening in my sons life now, ie being in touch with his dad and also stated that this seems to have made an improvement to sons happiness, ex was sat at the side of me whilst I made my statement to the teacher, and son was facing,, son said when we came out did you see dads eyes fill with tears when you told teacher everything, so I suppose there is guilt there somewhere. I merely told teacher as she as been full of support for son throughout all this and indeed asked for updates on sons personal life, I didnt tell just to put ex on the hotspot, I also thought the teacher had a right to know who this strange man was sat besides me seen as though I have been on my own to these meeting for the past five years, by the way he also gave me a lift home, that is two lifts in five years.
