It really feels good to let some things go, and pick my battles. I can't fight them all and I sure don't want to. I may have to share this space until the end of the summer, but I have full say over my life regardless.
STBX heard through the grapevine (not sure how) that I was having a graduation party for S18 at the end of the month. After agreeing that we couldn't do it together, I made arrangements to have it on a Saturday that was during my weekend, at home. I sent out invitations and RSVP's were coming in.
Yesterday he emailed to say that he will really need the kids that day, as it is his nephews first birthday party and his family will want to see S18 for graduation. He admitted to knowing about my party.
His email was dramatic and manipulative to say the least. I didn't bite. I simply responded "sure thing, they just need to be back here by 2pm for his guests" and let it go.
He was supposed to have the boys last night and cancelled at the last minute. I made him tell them himself. He texted them.
But the boys made plans with their friends and had a good night.
Just trying to roll with each situation and I feel very grounded right now.
