I swear that I started a thread about this already- yet it seems to have disappeared. I really need some adviceon dealing with a difficult ex. Well, more specifically, co-parenting with a difficult ex.
I have a problem in that I still have this absurd hope that he will one day take responsibility for his part in the failed marriage. I'm exhausted by his "victim" stance and the stories (half-truths) he's telling people about me so that he can villify me. He lies incessantly. Tonight he tried to tell me that my mother was lying to me about something that he said to her. What motivation would my mother have to lie?
I find it difficult to be in contact with him in any capacity yet we have 2 gorgeous children that need us both. I asked him months ago to make an appointment with a counsellor for us both. He refuses to see the counsellor we were seeing for mediation because he's "mad" at the counsellor. We need help figuring out how to parent together. Yet he now claims that I never made this request. Am I going mad? Why do I clearly remember asking him very directly to make an appointment for the both of us- yet he swears it didn't happen?
I now a lot of you have situations somuch worse than mine... but how in the world do you manage parenting with someone who makes you feel nuts?
