Focused on Me and My Son 2

[Sherman333]

Sherman, please try not to diagnose WW.

I know... And here's the "but". The reference to covert narcissism came from my IC after having me describe my interactions with the W over the last several years. It's amazing how much this seems to "fit."

Regardless, what understanding what the possible emotional issues helps my logical mind to keep the emotional side in check. My IC thinks that relative to typical, I'm doing extremely well for the situation. I'm taking this all with a grain of salt.

I know I'm not perfect and have made some genuinely human mistakes... letting some of the emotion get in the way of thinking clearly. But overall, I believe I've done rather well.

S7 is an awesome little boy. I have video of him dancing in McDonalds just because he was happy.

Apologies for not visiting your thread recently, I have been a little preoccupied!

No apologies needed. I'm doing ok.

So interactions with the STBXW... she's giving me the complete cold shoulder. Almost doesn't even acknowledge I'm present. I do make it a point to be polite and tell her goodbye. Otherwise, our only contact is through text messages.

And she still has to call S7 back to give her a hug goodbye when I pick him up.

She did agree to let me continue to take S7 to see FS9 on Sundays. But only so she could get her run in.
