Question, how do I go about distancing when there is a child involved?
I try to talk only about our son or house issues, etc and I never ask about him. Is this how the distancing works? Im reading the books and forums but I haven't seen anything on what to do where children are involved.
I agree with Nicole's comments. Distancing just means pulling back and giving him time and space. It means quit pursuing, quit calling and texting, quit asking about the M. Just leave him be. But when you do see him for kid exchanges and such, then yes by all means be cordial. The saying around here is "treat him like a friendly neighbor". So you're not trying to -avoid- him per se, you're just not going out of your way to contact him. Does that make sense?
