Frustrating, perplexing, not-quite-right things that exist right now:
- Stupid wet, icy weather is getting me down. I slipped and slid as I walked from car to office this morning. Don’t even want to make the return trip when I leave work.
- My house is a mess, and I don’t feel up to making it presentable for a proper Christmas celebration.
- I’ve needed to go grocery shopping all week but have let the stupid weather prevent it. Now I have to do it this afternoon, at the last minute. Yuck.
- J wants me to meet him for dinner one night while I’m at my parents’ this weekend. There’s a part of me that actually wants to do so. I don’t like that part of me so very much.
- Was going to wrap presents last night, but N was so miserable at W’s that I rescued him and had him at home with me last night so I still need to wrap presents after I promised myself I wouldn’t wait until Christmas Eve to do it again this year.
- Even though Q has rented a house she is still living at W’s with him. She has, however, moved her dog into her house. WTF?
- Trying hard not to get sucked into the role of evil ex bitching about every little thing about new girlfriend. However, it is a role I seem destined to fill. I hate her. I hate every little giggly thing she does. I hate that she is making life even harder for N when he is with W.

That's alright honey - I still reserve the right to bitch about MY ex's GF, esp since he has not bothered to "legitimacize" their relationship...
[not to mention I also have to rush home & wrap a pile o' presents, after a couple of stops for last-minute items...]
Happy holidays!
Talk to your attorney. You can make it so that W has to spend time alone without the new girlfriend when N is with him. If she is making N miserable and taking time away from him and his dad, then she needs to be out of the picture for a while, so that all the attention is on N when it needs to be. Since they are not married, I think you can arrange that with your attorney.
AND ~ if that makes you the "evil X bitch" so be it. This is for N, and his FATHER should want to spend time alone with him. Shame on W.
Maybe ya'll can get away w/that in IL, but here in TX I can no more dictate my ex's social schedule (i.e. whom he associates w/, as long as there aren't any CONVICTED FELONS) than I can change the pull of the earth's gravitational field...
Your legal fees might be better spent insisting on some family conflict-resolution counseling (not that it did much for us either, but still!)
