[quote=Anonymous]I am really truly right there with you, gritting my teeth and thinking "what an *ss" at parent-teacher meetings and therapist meetings... BUT here's the thing (which I have to tell myself all the time, by the way.) I met a mom who had a 9 year old son. Her ex remarried and it's sort of a classic story about how he used to see his son every week but then went to every other week... then once a month and (at the time I met the mom) to maybe once a year. If she was lucky. Her son asks her ALL the time why his dad does not want to see him. I'm not exaggerating that this is probably going to scar this child for his entire life, the feeling of loss and rejection. At the time I met her, she was trying to get him into Big Brother, for which I admire her greatly to address some of the problem, but really truly doesn't what he really need is his father, even if his father is biggest loser of all time?

[i]So, your ex is who he is. He is not going to change, which is why you (in my case, I) divorced him. We're lucky we only have to deal with his crap in these instances versus every day, in our homes, etc. Your ex is still your child's father and for all his flaws still has important gifts to give to your child and you DO NOT want to frost him out of your kid's life just because he's a self-centered *ss.[/i][/quote]
