Just that really.
Waited a long time for this.
I'm not expecting massive changes, or any at all really.
I have my list ready what I want to discuss. Not sure an hour will be enough! Ha.

Wish me luck!

Good luck Crocs....keeping your expectations in check is probably a very good idea, knowing your ex's track record!

Funny.
SW did it for us.
Printed us off some sheets to go through and I raised my points first.
I was threatened, my partner was threatened in his absence.
"Don't care, not bothered, not got time, got my own life now, I'm happy, stuff the lot of you"

That was it really.
I didn't have any expectations, I walked away giggling because he simply cannot move on.

Sad really.
I tried.

That's a shame but at least you weren't expecting too much from it, good you can laugh about it.

It's all I can do now.

It's a shame he's stuck in the past and can't move on.

It's opened my eyes though. The sheets she gave us, I'm guilty of some of the things in there and I've defo leant from it.

He wouldn't give me his contact details and refused to cooperate going forward for the kids sake so I've started a contact book and started writin in , just put in about how fab the school reports were an included a copy.

I'm going to show that going forward I can be approachable, fair and do what's right by the kids.

Onwards and upwards eh! Hopefully the kids will see me being fair if anything

Nothing ventured, nothing gained and at least you did get some insight from it which is positive....in fact you sound much more philosophical and upbeat about things...it really helps to detach emotionally, without lowering yourself to his level....perhaps in time he will "get it"....let's hope so for the kids sake.

Well done Crocs x
