I have to admit I cringed when you wrote that . And worried a little about how she says you are her everything. She puts you up on a pedestal. But you certainly won’t stay there forever. What happens when you aren’t anymore?
And generally the coach is WRONG, lol. A woman who is in her right mind would not disown their child for love. That’s a mentally unstable woman.
Is there a level of connection lost between the doc and her son??
The person who I fear for in this blended family is her son. There already seems to be a disconnect between her and her son and she hard on him and at times belittling . When he sees how you are with your girls and then sees the doc be nicer to your girls than her own son, that poor boy isn’t going to thrive like that.
I hope you develop that bond with him. He needs it. I do yuh n he probably feels in competition with you for the little bit of the time the doc has to share. Gotta be rough on him.
And ahhhhhh, puberty. My daughter got her period 2 months ago at 12.5. And the poor child has had it too more times since. She called me yesterday at work stressing and crying and freaking out over small stuff. I told her she was probably getting her period again and boom, there it was. While she is at her dads this weekend, she does become more clingy to me when she has it. And and even though she might become a little B , she wants more hugs and kisses and quality time believe it or not. So maybe it is the good old hormones. And the week on/ week off schedule is tough. We don’t have 50/50, and she gets a week away from her dad every now and then and handles it well, but does begin to miss him. She’s only away from on vacation for a week or longer, and we’ll, that’s vacation, lol.
Have you thought about talking the the kids about an alternate plan? Your ex of course first. Maybe a 3/4 schedule? A week is ? I’ve probably asked you this before.....
By the way, I think you guys have the perfect scenario right now. 2 houses, a mile away, lots of together time and apart time when you need it and neither of you are stepped for cash, so 2 mortgages aren’t a big deal.......
If that was my situation? I would get married and live apart!
