Hi Folks, first time here and Ive spent most of my morning looking through some of the old info. Great stuff!!
My question today is......"How do I get my opinions heard by my ex husband"? We have joint custody, do I not get a say? Do non custodial parents have no rights at all? I hate feeling like my back is against the wall all the time and I have to watch the kids suffer. Sometimes I think I should have just sucked it up until they were done school and then left.........
I have 3 boys, 20, 18 & 13. That live with thier Dad. We managed to get 2 of them through school, a lot of fighting with my ex and the boys, but we got it through their heads that education is important.
My concern is for the the past couple of years I have been asking my ex-husband to do something about our youngest sons education. He repeatedly comes home with notes and report cards that say he is not doing his homework or handing in his assignments. I have sat down with my ex to discuss this, he agrees with me then goes back to his normal ways. He wanted the responsiblity of the boys, but I can now see that it was all a ruse to get to me.
Well it is not about me or him it is about our son. How can I drill that into his head? How can I get him to stop allowing his hatred for me to see that it is hurting our son. I cant believe after 9yrs he still has sit down lectures with the boys on how much he hates me............pls
Any advice, anyone may have, will be very helpful.
Thanks,
