Thanks jamdls. I think the problem is really more with me than with her though. She's just trying to protect herself and our son as best she knows how. I am still far to new in this to be trusted, so I have to earn it. It helped me feel better just to vent about it here. Truth is without her being the special person she is, I'd have no realtionship with my son at all, so I shouldn't really complain. Sometimes it just helps to get it off your chest. Sorry you have to deal with such a miserable person next to you all day. I've had people like that at work too. Soul suckers, they'll suck you dry if you let them. In one ear and out the other!! Take care.
