Hey Mighty. First of all, you need to cut yourself some slack. This is tough stuff you are dealing with here. I am sorry that the baby coming is stirring up some emotions. I cannot imagine how hard that is for all of you.

Ok, so, yea, the exchanges with him...that just makes you go round and round, right? So stop those. smile

I have the reputation of having one of the craziest MLCers around here. Yea, lucky me...I won a prize. LOL! One day I have to try and find some of the convos he and I have had. It would make your head spin.

What I learned is to not engage...at all..in his nonsense texts. Still til this day he tries to pull me in.. and he doesnt get to. Well, unless of course I am in the mood to have some fun...hee hee.

My son was 16 when this all went down. Not a fun age without a cazy MLCer thrown in there.

But their relationship is theirs to forge. I told my xh that once and I kept to it unless there was an extremely serious issue that needed discussing.

He has access to your son's school info. If he wants to talk to son about it, he can have at it. He doesnt need your input or approval.

Now about that mindreading....doesnt serve you well, right?

Trust me when I tell you that it isnt all rainbows and butterflies in his life. How could it be? He is in crisis, with a baby on the way, with a women who clearly doesnt have a clue.

But it doesnt matter, Mighty. He is a mess. You dont want to be near the fallout.

You do need to look at the question about why you feel you want to prove something to your xh. Dig deep there.

Let your kids know it is safe to talk with you. Let him blow in the wind. Take care of you.

You are doing wonderfully, M. Keep going.

And my friend, AJ, rocks, doesnt he?
