Anita,

Happy Friday, hope you have been well.  Officially I have a boyfriend LOL.  Things are going good with healthy communication so far.  I feel now in the dating world versus when I was in my 20’s that intimacy seems rushed.  I don’t really understand the hurry.  We are going to have a talk about that Monday along with things that I’ve found make me feel a bit objectified.

My dog has food allergies and just got the results back from the vet.  He is allergic to 7 things but are common with allergies. I need to go get him some treats and I have been feeding him new food for the past few weeks that he is not allergic to.

Mediation is February 2nd so I can put all of that behind me.  Last night ex and girlfriend called kids on their I Pads.  They asked questions directed negatively toward me.  She asked “Ella you look tired” and they both repeated that to her. Also he asked questions about if she had completed her work and a badge for Girl Scouts.  While I ignore this behavior it has an impact.  Ella was quiet and there were no questions as to what she has done during the week, how they kids are doing, any type of personal questions. He seemed to struggle with conversation and seemed fake.

I do not want these behaviors to effect the kids but I have to ignore their behaviors.  Everything is directed at me.  How do you constantly ignore this?  Walk out of the room when they call?
