Had to meet up with WAW yesterday for S parent/teacher conference. W was already in teacher room by the time I arrived and didn’t acknowledge me whatsoever. During session we had minimal interaction and only said like 3 things to each other regarding logistics of S.
We have gotten to a point where co-parenting has become a huge challenge, with are only communication being either email or text, Lawyers have really put a hard wedge between us. WAW’s threatened to get a mediator involved to act as a go between our communications after I called her out on the stunts W had been pulling and she had no excuse for.
I later texted her about S appearing to be coming down with a cold and suggested she give him a breathing treatment that helps ease congestion. W replied promptly with some back and forth texting. Ended saying thanks. My IC has suggested that one of us will have to humble ourself in order for us to communicate and not impact our S the it has.
So I decided to try to ease up our walls later in the evening and extended an invitation for W to join S and I for Halloween as it will be my night with him. I know this can be construed as pursuit, but what I’ve been doing has only caused us to have more tension and coldness. W replied with “thank you. I will give that some thought. I appreciate the offer”
I guess this could be an “as if” situation. Come if you want.....we’ll have our fun with or without you.
I have no expectations....but know I have to be the bigger person to ensure S isn’t further damaged by having parents that can’t communicate.
