"I am glad you stood up to him. Still, it is most likely the stress coming out. He is surely feeling it too and handled himself poorly."


He is always like this...it just took a couple days through this for him to get back to normal...the nice I got the first couple days was the exception

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

Then he is just a royal a@@!! He is probably too self absorbed to get it. I am sorry you even have to deal with him.

Unless Abe wants to go with Dad, how about telling Dad, Abe will stay with you for the break unless he allows you to visit??

Hugs to you!


I am continually agast that some people consider them "adults." He's a class A jerk! Everyone gave you well thought out, well written pieces for your email to him. Do send it---if nothing else it will help you get it off your chest. I have a feeling, from reading about how self-absorbed he is, he'll miss the point...but you won't! GL! And I'm glad your son is improving!

Wish I could take the credit for this saying, but actually DD has been known to use this one:

Jen, I'm so glad Abe is doing better.

You were 100% right to tell your ex to deal with his son on his own. That's what being a parent is about. And given the stress that Noah is under, I'm NOT surprised that he lashed out!

Have either of you had a chance to sit down and talk to Noah about what's going on and reassure him since the initial accident? Has he seen his brother awake and in good spirits? I can only imagine how scared he is!

As for when Abe comes home- you stick to your guns. Abe needs his MOM right now and as awkward as your ex's wife may feel, it's not about HER: it's about Abe.

You would think after almost losing a son that he would be more grateful and happy that he has his 11-year-old alive and well at home with him.
