Curve balls? Heck, I don't even play softball!!!

No, like I said, this wasn't me pushing, asking, etc... it came up ---from HER in the course of a practical convo about S and money, etc.... Her quote was 'when pushed....' not that I'm pushing -- really --for once I actually was really really good at it.

Why didn't I leave the room? I was trying to validate and listen so she could talk and get out whatever she was trying to tell me. I didn't start R convo --(for once :)) and I didn't argue, etc.

What started convo at all was that I want to have S on a night MIL gets him now, while i'm off on break. W said it will make MIL really mad ---and I said I am the parent, and i don't believe MIL needs to triangulate. He's not got 3 parents -- only two. I was attempting to firmly but in a kind way set a boundary that I think needs to be set now and that I should have set long ago. I believe it's totally wrong for me to have to ask permission to get my own son instead of MIL getting him. Am I too rash?? I remember the DB coach telling me that I need to do this --- and then yesterday the L mentioned the same thing. Boundary with MIL. Two parents, not three..... That's how this whole thing started. Somehow W started talking about how she doesn't 'like' me, and that's where it went.....

Really, I know I backslide and all that, but i actually did good on that one last night. When all was said and done, no arguing, none of that. I kept my head and DBed, as I said, pretty good to my understanding.

Have appt with other L next week, like I said, due to personal ethical conflict with first L. 25 you were absolutely right about the house also-- first L did mention that all the mortgage I paid, if I choose to and W is nasty, I can sue her for it. I smiled and thought of you.

House-- ahh... if i need to, I can buy another one--- just want little S to have some consistency and stability.
