Hi Flo, thanks for the input. I know it is something that I have accept, but am just not there yet. What I can choose to do is how I deal with it. So will try to not waste anymore energy on it and make sure that my children are okay. Generally the only time I step in is when my kids show some confusion e.g. over the birthday gift.
My L will be dealing with all things legal, as my H is just no co-operating and his idea of negotiation is do it my way or else.
As for co-parenting unfortunately other than logistics e.g pick up etc, that is not happening. My and I have different ideas about parenting and also he believes my kids are fine and are doing great. Unfortunately he is living in a guilt created fantasty that we are all okay. My S10 is constantly in trouble at school and as I do the pickups etc, am the only one the know. I have tried to talk to my H but he tells me I am lying and that they are fine.
He has this fantasy where I will welcome her as my new best friend into my life and we will all live together like a big blended family. NOT!!!
