I spoke with X a little while ago about a parenting issue concering our DSs. The conversation was going fine... At any rate, he comes out and says that Colleen (younger DS's counselor) and others stabbed him in the back. I said, "hmmm, what do you mean? Can you elaborate?" So he said that he can no longer be Colleen's "friend" anymore (I didn't see her a a "friend" per se, but as an advocate for DS), because she and the "others" stabbed him in the back. I said that I felt the social workers who worked with us were very impartial. X disagreed, and it came out that X was referring to the GAL report. Here's a link to my earlier post about it: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-rlsmartdivor/?msg=17922.1

Anyway, X feels that he came out "looking like a piece of dirt, and YOU came out looking like a princess." So I simply said, "You had a chance to speak with the GAL yourself. You got the GAL involved." X said "No I didn't. The judge did", and "The GAL didn't put what *I* said in there." Yes, technically, the judge DID get the GAL invloved, but if X hadn't petitioned the court for full custody, and made accusations that were without merit, the GAL would NOT have been involved.

I see this as further evidence of just how DEEP X's denial of his drinking goes. It's pretty pathetic, actually.
