Nope. She's not receptive & very likely to argue with you about it all. Another thing she perceives as you making a big deal out of nothing, exaggerating the impact on DS. You've tried SO many times. She doesn't want to hear it.

Talk to DS for sure - he needs you to validate for him that he's not crazy, mom really IS different from day to night, etc. He needs to know HE'S not crazy as he's going through these experiences with her.

I'm also with sparkle on the "tired" thing - if you don't find a way to talk to him soon, you're going to slowly cease to be a reliable source of info for him & he'll start putting both of you in the same category because it's too hard to separate for a kid. You lying to him about his mom is still lying even if you're doing it to protect him.

This all gets so much harder to normalize as they age.
