Journaling:

So with my recent termination, my sitch has elevated to new levels. I’m still living in marital home and have been actively trying to sell it since May. Have made price reductions 4 times now. I was transparent with W about my job sitch and she provided me with some choice comments about how it impacts her, her child support payments, etc. with no respect, compassion, or concern to me.

In the 2 week’s since, W has been in constant contact w/me about items concerning house, S academic performance and poor behavior in his new school,etc. I’ve maintained S6 is lashing out due to all the changes in his world, W flat out denies our separation has a thing to do with it. S6 is in IC.

W has also used S to manipulate schedule and situations to better her needs. Last week was bad, as I went to pick him up on Friday as it was my weekend. s6 sees me at aftercare and immediately becomes upset saying that W had plans to take him to friends house. I tell son that’s our weekend together and he throws a fit in front of teachers, kids, etc. I feel horrible as we walk out, but know it was W fault for this reaction.
