[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 526569"] There is a reason that I divorced him and I don't regret it but it makes the situation that much more challenging for me. I am not a fan of their parenting style either but it is working isn't it? At least on the outside it is. At least while difficult child is eight yrs old it is. "Beating his ass" won't be an option in a few more years...and I mentioned that to the ex. But his ears are closed when it comes to anything I have to say. Part of the reason I often think about difficult child staying with his dad 100% of the time is to take me out of the equation....so they can stop blaming me. But then it would just be...well, difficult child wouldn't be having so many problems if he got to spend time at your house. I feel damned if I do and damned if I don't. Maybe deep down inside my ex is very troubled? sad? disappointed that his son is this way and he takes it out on me? That is the way I have felt since the crying started at birth. It was easier for the ex to blame me and still is. I get that. I don't like it but I get it. Now the situation is way worse. I want things to be better for both of my kids (poor easy child has lived a life of jumping through hoops to make difficult child happy-partly that is my fault) and for me. I just don't know what to do about it. [/QUOTE]
