And weary of dealing with the drama. You know when you have to do the "right" thing, but also know that it will lead to more drama in the short term? :( but! i will keep swimming. like dori says, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.

You deserve to have those boundaries...Ah, Jane YES! You deserve to have those boundaries respected and clearly they have not been. I was nodding my head through this post because I had the same EXACT experience. One time my ex actually refused to let my kids come over to see their visiting Grandparents. The lowest of lows. He always wanted them for social occasions of his (not the kids') friends. I always agreed. Finally, I had to put my foot down and refuse things (tighten my boundaries). There was some backlash but it was better. Stay strong. You're on the right path. You've done everything you can.Lisa Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310475781785711620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916126436692978523.post-17048617239906746272015-01-20T19:18:32.797-08:002015-01-20T19:18:32.797-08:00{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252

But either way, you'll still always feel like either you or the girls are missing out on something. It's part of the deal. You don't have to live in the same house with him any more, but he still occupies a space in your head. Wow. That was good. I should blog that.... - I do feel for you hon. Good luck. }LIVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524453327563312809noreply@blogger.com
