Mach, I also feel that I have to "cave in" and pick up the pieces that she leaves behind from doing these horse shows. It makes me angry and bitter. Thats a big part of the problem with me not knowing what I want at this point either. You're right, i am a parent as well. But she supposed to be as well! thats when I get upset.
Life is about perspective CB...
Are you really "picking up the pieces" ??
Or is it more quality time that YOU get to spend with your Son ??
I guess it depends on how you want to see it...
And you can't hang your hat on what she does parenting.
You take your half, and you run with it.
DO NOT let her define the kind of Father that you want to be...
Getting angry, zaps your time and energy from the time that you could be using, for more worthwhile activities....
Your job as a co-parent...????
Your job isn't to facilitate their relationship, your job is to NOT damage it...
