I think if your going to take your son. Do not do an equal trade.

Do not swap days.

Take your son. Then record it in the journal your keeping on times and the reason why.

You are recording this right ?

If not start now and back date it.

Glad you had a good game with the kids. smile

Remember. Do not be compassionate or a doormat with someone who has a OM/OW. It will just drive you crazy.

Be civil. Be short and to the point. Do not engage in conversation. If you do talk like your talking to a bank manager. Polite and to the point.

This will get you further in the long run. As they will learn that they cannot manipulate you fear/guilt/gaslighting.

Patience and self respect vs doormat.

It gets easier as time goes by and soon you will realize you no longer struggle with it.

Have a great week my friend.

Journal, record and keep on your plan.

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
unconditional love is awesome!
