An Update

I have been lurking here, but haven't written in forever - so I thought I'd do a quick update.

When I was last posting on here, my EH and I still didn't get along - things were really tense & we were in a legal dispute over placement/custody. I actually stopped posting because his wife was coming on here & trying to pick a fight with me. She posted a number of nasty things about the birth of my son & I just didn't feel like bothering to correct her.

Since then, she apparently cheated on my ex for the second time (according to him anyway). They are now in the middle of getting a divorce. Interestingly, after 12 years of thinking that he was the main problem in our communication - the second they split everything has been really easy & cordial. We apparently work together fine without the drama. Who would have thought it? She still calls the kids & I'm fine with that - she was a big part of their lives for a long time after all. As long as I don't hear any negative junk from her about either me or their dad, she is welcome to be involved in their lives.

My oldest DS just graduated from 8th grade. We all are so proud of him! My second DS is still having issues but EH & I agreed on a new psychologist (who is fabulous) so we are working on it. So... things are looking up. Yay!

    I think this is incredibly kind, smart, and big of you. I'm glad good people do still exist.

    I haven't been here very long so didn't see the drama stuff but that's great that you are getting along and co-parenting now. I also agree with PP.

    Exactly what PP said.  As I read it, I thought the same thing about what an amazing person you must be.  Congrats on the co-parenting!

    This. Good for you! And congrats on having a high-schooler. Yikes!

    She didn't use my name & I didn't respond so even if you were here you wouldn't have realized it was about me - but the situation was rather unique so I knew :0). I just stopped posting about myself.

     And thank you :0).
