Journaling:

My Mom called yesterday evening and informed me that W didn’t bring S6 over to her house yesterday as S threw a fit saying how he needed “mommy time”. W ended up taking S to work with her.

My mom then read me the text exchanges btwn W and her. W claimed that my travel for work were impacting S in a negative way and that she was blaming me for S6 irrational behavior. Yet she is the one that has farmed S out to anyone that could take him during her time.

My job requires 50% travel and I’ve been behind the last year in the fact that I stayed close to home the last year so W could be with her dying M in hospital and to make sure S maintained a normal schedule. So work has put pressure for me to get out more frequently.,,rightfully so.

So far, W hasn’t been to flexible in handling our custody agreement and won’t take any accountability for her choices that have impacted S.

For the 1st time my mom stated that’s she felt W was in LaLa land and being completely selfish and focused only on herself. It’s crazy to me how W has turned everything around to make it my fault. I know it’s MLC...but W can appear and act completely normal around others, but won’t consider listening to anyone that won’t agree with her.

Patience, Patience, patience...

Any one have suggestions on how to handle?
