yes there is "right and wrong" but there is also that precious commodity called Peace of MIND. plus he may just be bluffing.....blustering.....TRYING to get a rise out of you.
don't let him, Liz.
I'm consulting with a lawyer to make sure my son is taken care of by BOTH his parents. I know my ex, I'm sure he's loving this and eating it up, but I want what's best for my son and I can't afford it on my own. I figure a consult with a lawyer or a well written letter from one may help my ex figure out that his bullying needs to stop. I know he won't want to go to court because he's afraid they'll pull up the DUI and use it against him and he hates lawyers in general. I may have to back down, but for now, I'm going to press him and make sure he knows I mean business. We will always be his parents and there's possible college and other expenses coming our way. The sooner I stand up for myself, the sooner MAYBE I can get some respect.
