Sounds like you are "closing a circle" in my words. Good for you! Upwards...

This weekend, MsR2C and I had an exchange of words. She expressed her opinion that I was a certain body cavity. I did a big 180 and reciprocated with a request to stop acting like another body cavity.

It is amazing how our (ex)spouses can bring out the worst in us.

Hang in there R2C. You are right that they can bring out the worst in us. It will be forgotten in a week. Keep on keeping on. Over all you have done an amazing job of DBing.

Well,

Communication is happening! We had real dialog today (Via email). I have been more assertive as a parent but in indirect ways. She said I was "harassing", so I pulled out all the "direct" issues.

I have been extremely flexible with the parenting schedule. I know that is best for my kids. MsR2C has been ridged. I went ridged.

Exchange time is 7:30. MsR2C wanted me to flex today.

Her: "Since kids don't have school tomorrow I plan on dropping them off at your house at 8p."

ME: "8p is to late. I expect them home at 7:30"

her: "I'll remember that for the future - funny how 8p is suddenly late yet you take them to the movies at 10p."

ME: "When you choose to be flexible with the schedule, I will reciprocate"

Happy Thanksgiving R2C. We've known each other 17 months now. When I first joined here, I never expected to have friends like you.

xoxo

I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
