STBX will be here shortly. Showered and shaved. I am excited to see my boys! I feel good. Not sure how to approach her. I want to give her a friendly hug. What should I do? I know I will be OK without her but want her to know I still care.

Why not just try having a friendly attitude, but hold off initiating a hug?


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!

So STBX calls and says she is lost due to contrition. She asks if I meet her even though she has GPS on her phone. Long story short she spews some and I meet her a couple of miles from the apartment because I ask her to stop and tell me cross streets. MIL was with her and I was light and cheery and said hello to MIL and STBX. MIL said hi but would not even look at me. They did not even clean up their mess in the van. Guess that is my job. I am dealing with two childish women.

Hi, Jim. I'm just stopping by to say hello. Sorry to hear that you are dealing with such childish behavior from "adults." Skip hugs and go for neighborly interaction.

It was the constant childish behavior that finally hit me in my sitch. Between WAW and her family it became so bad, that it was a catalyst for my getting off of the roller coaster.
It lowered expectations, well it eliminated expectations and now I chuckle when i observe it.

Have a good night jimkao

Don't clean the van. Their mess, their responsibility.

Well I was nice and cheerful at the exchange. Said hello while looking at MIL. She said hi but did not even look at me just went straight to the car. STBX said a her goodbyes to the boys and that was it. STBX has lost a lot of weight and does not look healthy.

Boys like the apartment and had fun on the play scape right outside the apartment. They are still acting out a lot and asking questions that I deflect and can't give them an answer to yet.

Ran late this morning dropping two off at daycare and all they wanted was to stay with me. Three oldest got to school late.

Lastly, boys told me STBX pulled them out of school early on Friday just before lunch and took them to Toronto. STBX did not inform me she was doing this. Another negative Mark on her actions.

Clearly, her life with OM is more important than the education of your children. Document. Maybe get records from the school to see if there have been other instances of this. Good evidence for custody hearing.

BTW, if in the end you do move to Toronto, move on YOUR terms not hers.
