Exp driving me mad!!

[joysofmotherhood]

Hi, my ds is 4 years old and recently am very concerned about how to maintain my sanity whilst exp is still in my life!. The past few phone calls have gone into an arguement, my ds said today will not argue someday?. I really hope for all our sakes he is right.
I try so hard to focus on the fact ds is very lucky to have his dad in his life and plays a very active part, but just never know how to fully move on and leave it in the past when he is much in the present and future for too many years that I wish to think of. Seriously, how do you survive this?. Any help or advice be much appreciated.

sympathy to you love it's bloody hard.
I wish I had an answer I think a lot of us have this problem. All I can say is try not to engage as much as possible, keep communication by email or text where you can and treat him like a difficult business colleague

Thanks seashell, I can imagine probably a very common issue, just overwhelms me at times!. Then today he told me I look nice!, what is all that about?!. Men, they really would drive you mad!.
Like you say try to keep the communication to a minimum.

Just think how bad it would be if you had to share your home and life with him full time? See his behaviour as confirmation that you're well shot of him. My ex continuously reminds me how lucky I am in that respect. :-)

We rarely talk but make key arrangements by text too. Don't rise to the bait but keep calm and factual. And don't expect him to agree - ever.
