Anger

    After a year of doing it on my own, and learning to expect next to nothing from the ex, I have accepted a lot and moved on. However... the ex continually blows off my son, and this weekend was a prime example -- long story, but suffice it to say that he disgusted me with his selfishness. I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but when he treats my son like crap I get ANGRY, and I can't let it go. I know I should (emotions=control, right? Indifference is the goal, right?), but it's the mama bear coming out.

    Do I need to go back to therapy? Is this normal and/or acceptable, or should I let it go?

  2. Of course you're pissed. I would be (and have been in your shoes). A) you're left holding the bag and picking up the pieces B) you get to make the tough decision on making an excuse for your ex or hurting your child with the truth.

    Be angry about it and then let it go.

    You can't control others, only your reaction to them.
