Focused on Me and My Son 3

[Sherman333]

I'm so damn pissed and annoyed at the STBXW. It's supposed to be her weekend (I get father's day).

She's given up time with Sloan on a regular basis. Tomorrow she's letting me pick him up at 12:00 p.m. to spend the rest of the weekend with him. I got the kids a little early from latchkey and let her know to pick him up at the house. She stated she wouldn't be her until later around 6.

So she's on her way and S7 starts to get upset and throw a fit. I got him out to the driveway and he starts throwing a fit and crying. Stating that he's not going. She just starts threatening him and yelling about the concessions she's made; that if he doesn't get in the car she won't make any concessions anymore. That he'll regret being defiant.

He stormed into the house. She starts reiterating her threats at me. I told her I already know what she said... she then yelled at me that I'm interrupting her (like always) so I let her go through it again. I reiterated that she can knock off the threats and I'll get him.

Then I mentioned that it's a nice Apple Watch she has (mainly to deflect things a bit off of S7) as it's new. She said it was a gift... I told her I know. It's from the platonic "friend".

I came into the house and explained to him that he needs to go. That eventually, when we go in front of the judge that there won't be a choice. It's better to work through this now.

We went back outside and he's in absolute tears. Racking sobs. She yelled at Sloan that eventually he needs to spend time with her too, that she's going to stop giving concessions. And then she starts yelling at me that I'm feeding into all this. I looked directly at her and told her I'm supporting her in this. That she needs to be kinder to S7.

I turned to him and reiterated some of what I told him earlier. He got to the car, made face that had a lot of anger and yelled his frustration. I told him "you need to go bud." He says "I'm not mad at you Dad, I'm mad at Mom". He got in the car and they drove away. I know she's yelling at him all the way home and will be taking this out on him.

At the moment I could tell her no. But it would cause issues to things long term. Of course she insinuated it's my fault too.

Heck of a start to the weekend. This cr@p is hard.
