MrsD: Its an interesting dynamic to say the least. Its just something thats been on my mind as of late....am I seeing the real thing now, or is this the alien? I hope someday your X decides to make his son a priority....they truly delude themselves into thinking the kids are ok no matter what.
My wife honestly said that she and my step son were happy and she didnt really know about 'our' son but that he would be fine. Seriously? She didnt know if he was happy or not, and worse yet it really wasn't a priority to her. Mostly she doesn't know whether he's happy or not because she hasn't asked him, or listened to him when he tries to talk. He will be 12 years old in 2 weeks its not as though we're dealing with a child who can't really express what he's thinking or feeling because he can and does readily if you'll ask him how he's doing.
Anyway, guess thats the end of todays rant....I pray for her daily, I pray for me daily and I pray for both of my boys daily and I trust that im doing the right things to help myself and my son's through this the best I can. That and prepare for the worst....my diary and journal are very specific about who did what when as it relates to our son....although I always believe its a long shot for dads i'll be fighting like crazy if thats what it comes to. I could not and would not try to portray her as a bad mother simply b/c she's not, but I will do everything in my power to prove that my son's life will be less upset if he stays with me
