[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the bio parent (crazy ex-wife) is there: NO. If she is not there: ALWAYS! It works for us, because she lives out of state, has no custody, and maybe attends two events per year. [b]I am more of a parent than she will ever be[/b].[/quote] Her child doesn't think that. Her child wishes it was mommy doing all that, not you.[/quote] Not in this case. Mommy has untreated mental health issues (refuses treatment) and is unable to take of herself or the child. [/quote] Those facts do not change that the child wishes it was different. The child can sense your feeling competitive with or resentful of a mentally ill mom/addict, what have you. Odd that your focus is so much on someone who is NOT there rather than the child you supposedly love and wish to support. Not saying it is not difficult but it is a whole lot harder for the kid and the vibe you give off about it may not help. [/quote]
