You are wise beyond your years. And I think you're totally right. I had been told I didn't even have to have EX on the list because - yes - I am POA, custodial parent etc. And that was his birthday visit. Likely we won't see him till the Fall. and I CAN control the visit.
He IS a bit (or a lot) crazy. And SHE controls the entire R. If she says the kid comes - the kid comes. Because he does whatever she tells him and has from the day she met him. He is afraid to lose her - because then he has no one.
So I'm cutting myself some slack tonight - letting it go. But the hospital will get my list of approved visitors tomorrow.
Ashley's had a rough week. Thinking of splitting with her BF. Yesterday she got into it with me. She messaged me that her 2nd job (nutrition store) is offering her full-time but she will keep the pet store job part-time too. And just as I was sending congrats - the hospital called me not once but twice so my reply was delayed and she freaked - thinking I wasn't happy for her. I got really reamed.
Sometimes its just tough to be Mom.
But the physio told me today that I'm the best Mom ever. And Ash told me I'm a super mom. And my new friend came over briefly after we did a charity bingo tonight and told me I'm great. (not sure why she said that). Boy - those things really helped because sometimes I feel like I'm not cutting it. Ryan has not even looked at me in my last 3 visits. That bums me out.
