omg, jul, that is so right!

Just for clarification, I've never been to the East Coast, just the Midwest (Indiana/Michigan), Northern Plains (WY), Southwest (Tucson) and Northern CA (Bay Area and ...

I grew up in Northern California and moved back briefly 4 years ago. I found it just as bigoted and insular as the Midwest was, in terms of racism and dislike of "otherness". Where I lived, being so ...

Hi, I know you mean well but you've misunderstood something here.
I'm not the person who brought up the new girlfriend with my son. My ex did. He dated her about a week and decided to inform Pop ...

Part of me is still in denial about the pending divorce. I mean, we were reconciling and then he had a girlfriend. It's only been a few weeks and I'm in a real state of shock.
I still have his stu ...

AFter so many years, I never thought he'd be like this. never Even last month when he broke up with me then, he wasn't like this. I just don't know what changed.

His dad and I actually used to let him watch us use the restroom for this reason.

I learned the hard way that this doesn't always work. My son never learned from watching mommy and daddy doing st ...

Well, we spoke today and it was mixed. I explained that Pop was upset about Dad's new girlfriend and he said he wouldn't take him there anymore for a while. Part of the reason he wouldn't comply wit ...

Hi, I'm new to broken households and learning myself.
I understand that your ex is out of work but not watching your son. I question the necessity of that? Perhaps there is an underlying issue wi ...

Be careful not to accuse Ex; he is probably very sensitive to that; approach it more as a "this is what I see; what can we do about it?" talk.

Easier said than done. Wink I've been coaching my ...

I don't get that, why propose a reconciliation when you got someone already?
3 years is a long time to hold off on the introductions, especially when they're living together. But it does sound bette ...

Well, we talked on the phone and debated the whole thing. I'm not happy with his decision but he was convincing enough that he is going to stay "level" with this. He assured me that she isn't stayin ...

Part of my limbo is that he is changing what he says every minute. This is a man I have been with who was consistent for 12+ years. When I try to say that we should stay friends, he replies that tha ...
