So proud of my BF!

BF was dropping SS off after visitation this weekend. BM has a habit of opening the door of the vehicle to help unload SS's stuff, but just standing there inside the door and talking to BF instead so that he can't pull away because he'd hit her with the vehicle or the door. So she's going on and on, and eventually she tells him that her laptop is broken again. She said it in a way that was evident to BF she wanted him to fix it. He said, "Considering the last time I worked on your laptop I was brought to court and accused of hacking it, I don't know what to tell you." Her jaw dropped! She expected BF to roll over and help her after she'd burned him for doing that very thing?! I'm so proud of him!

Visitation went relatively well. The only problem was that we missed 2 doses of SS's medications. BM, of course, went ballistic. Apparently this makes it evident that we're not capable of caring for a child and that overnight stays are not feasable after all. "This will be remembered!!" Blah blah blah...

Also, I'm beginning to think that a lot of SS's supposed medical problems and medications are bogus and unnecessary. He was in my new house for hours this weekend while we were painting, and the room that he was in had a lot of mold and mildew around the windowsills. When BF saw the windows after SS left he said he was suprised that SS didn't have any sort of reaction to all the fumes and mold. I told him "I don't think that SS is quite as sickly as some people make him out to be." The wheels in his head started turning and I just left it at that.

Now if only your BF could talk to some of our men..
Wouldn't you have loved to be a fly or something to see her facial expression when he told her NO... I would have probably had to let out a huge like choke me laugh..
Good for him not taking her CONTROLLING behavior anymore..

Happy....

I learned it takes time for their balls to grow back after they have been emasculated. Tell him we are proud of him.

Good for him! Eventually there has to come a point when they have to say NO and your BF has reached that point. That is so cool....hope he keeps it up and continues to say NO to the exs,no doubt,unreasonable demands.

For him to standing his ground, and for you in keeping it simple! Wink Sometimes, that's the easiest way to go, because then the wheels start turning on their own...
