Last night was interesting... the STBXW took S7 to see his therapist at her request (worried that the therapist is to prove she's been a bad mother vs. the therapist just being there to help S7 in the transition). We had a discussion about who's going to pay and that was pushed onto me. She claims to have no funds and I think it's important for S7 to see the therapist... so it is what it is at the moment. Post BD, this will change a bit.
Anyway, it's her evening to be with S7. She called 6:22 p.m. to say that she's bring him back to my place. The therapist appointment was from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. She stated that he only wanted to come home to my place. Even turned down McDonalds (extremely surprising for a 7 Year old... or he's just over McDonalds for a while). So in a nutshell, she cut her evening with him short by hours.
Maybe the lawyer's prediction is starting to come true. That she'll stop the visits during the week.
This is also supposed to be her weekend. There's a birthday party that S7 wants to go to for a buddy of his. STBXW, claims to not have the money for gas (she moved a 1/2 hour away) to take S7 or a present. I told her I'd come get him and take him to the party, but that I wouldn't be taking him back to her place. She's ok with giving up one of her nights for parenting time. What's even more surprising about this is that this is in essence the 3rd weekend that she hasn't had him. We'd swapped a weekend for Memorial day, then my regular weekend, and now this one that's coming up.
Makes no sense to me... but in my view, she's the one missing out. I'll take all the time I can get with S7.
