OK, I'm trying to garner how to draw a stronger line with my H. We have a legal sep agreement that clearly states neither of us can take S anywhere, we need to keep him in this town, and in this house.
So that won't work.
And I've been dumped now for a year, hard to be the walk away spouse when dumped.
But I will check Allen's thread thank you.
I am so glad you let your S and H have their time together its' so important especially at that age.
I may bring up communication rules AGAIN we've gone over them again and again and H just doesn't respect them... and you are right. Validating does not mean being a dumping post I"m learning that the hard way too.
