Thanks, Maybell. Would this be easier if he was evil? Probably not. I'm glad I'm not dealing with financial struggles, etc.
I was thrown recently because I've been more "friendly" than normal since his dad is so sick-- very flexible with schedule, offering words of support, asking how his dad is doing. And then I got an email that he had followed up with our mediator about the revisions to our parenting plan. Like, he says he has no time for anything besides work and his dad and our D, and is stressed, but has time to make sure the D is moving forward.
