As I said I’d post if something worth mentioning came up…
Last night in the UK we were having to deal with a minor storm ourselves with 70mph winds and such (I hope all those caught in the situation in Florida/Miami are okay) My youngest S8 is quite susceptible to these events and cried for his mum who basically stayed with him and comforted him until he went back to sleep. In the past he would have come and got between us both and I would have taken him back to bed when he fell back to sleep but now due to AP/LO he doesn’t do that and mum goes to him.
Today I found out about this through a phone call from WW, to cut a long story short it is my turn to have my boys tonight and the next 2 BUT WW insinuated she will keep S8 with her due to him being upset and “wanted his mum”, I basically suggested I could comfort S8 just has well as WW and feel she is again undermining me by not respecting my capabilities.
I stayed civil throughout and validated some points with her but stood my ground regarding being able to manage these situations when I have the boys just as well as she. I mentioned I understood that he may want his mum but in the long run this is detrimental to the R with all as I mentioned the need to keep things stable and that we are getting to a point where we (boys and I) are in a happy place after much upset and felt it wrong of her to upset that just because SHE feels it’s what S8 wants.
Your thoughts…
Mark.
