Thanks all.Great advice and thank you for the support! Laurah - the reactions is my weak point. His false accusations manipulate me into feeling guilty and a desire to defend myself. That's the hook. I'm so tired of letting him manipulate me yet I still fall into it. NC is so hard with a child. I want so hard to be friendly and cooperative and this desire just pulls me into his tactics. And then, he tells the court I am not cooperative, will not discuss the schedule of S, control him, etc. when I feel the opposite is true. Then I get confused and this is where it is gaslighting. He makes a big public scene at a birthday party on Saturday and resists my requests to drop it. I should have left but I didn't want to storm off in front of S. Ugh. Next time I'll have to be much more guarded, despite the fear of what this lack of communication will do to S.
