Believe me I understand. I understand how it feels to be that single parent (tired and overwhelmed because everything is on your shoulders down to the paycheck). I understand how it is when it feels like your ex still has control over portions of your life and it feels like they use it to get to you (talking to your kids and not you, and still you don't even get your much needed break from all the stress a single parent feels because of his timing). My ex still has a lot of power over my life. When he doesn't come on time or at all I feel like in an indirect way he is controlling me. When he doesn't pay his child support he has control in some ways. I have to eventually let it go and not let it fester, but sometimes it is hard. My ex proverbially rubs my nose in sh!t when he feels like it. It shows my discipline when I don't "fight back" although I really want to let him have it. He can truly be an @sshole, even when I'm helping him. Amazing really how someone can be so brazen. Your children may hold him up higher than they need to because in their little heads they really want this mostly absent parent to be so wonderful that that is the way they want to perceive him. They put him up high on that pedestal to protect their own feelings. My son does it. I guess it's a much better thought than thinking their Dad is scum. Hang in there. I can't say it gets easier though, and lately it has put me into a major funk. But I'm getting better with medication and boxed wine (thanks Sherron). (winky wink) I was feeling so sad for my son and sad that I chose his Dad for his Dad and it is turning out so badly. But after my medication and reevaluating some things, I realize that it's all gonna be OK. My son is precious and I feel blessed to have him in my life daily. My ex is the one missing out.
