Anita,

Lots to do today.  Going to a place called Altitude-lots of bouncing lol.  Then errands. Getting Ella a new pair of glasses.  Ex carries their insurance and she gets a free pair of glasses once a year.  Ex is now not answering any requests via text message. This seems to be his new behavior.     I’m going to just pay out of pocket for the glasses and discuss in mediation.  I don’t think texting him about it is the best idea-I’m not sure.

I agree that it is not a good idea to be a team mom with his girlfriend Amy involved.  I believe my main focus was that I was not asked and Aiden is my son.  Their behavior was intentional.   With the counseling I am going to move ahead without his involvement.  However, he is a parent and he may have the choice to be involved and that is beyond my control.

Yesterday we were at Aiden’s football game and I stood with Sarah.  She is the wife of Dan (ex husband to Amy-my ex’s girlfriend) Dan’s mother and sister were with Sarah.  They told some very disturbing stories about Amy.  She caused some major issues in their family.    I am wondering how to navigate this situation in the future.  I have to get all of this moved quickly with mediation.  I’m a little worried about my well being.  I feel that I am able to have any barriers or safety from them. I’m a sitting duck. No matter if I respond or not respond they keep coming.
