Me again!
I wish I could say things are better, but at the same time, I can say things are not worse!
However, my subject of matter is about the time i had with Keiron today...
Keiron was acting awful with me today (wouldn't stop crying, refused to be held by me) so i was forced to hand him to the mediator (my ex's friend) and he immediately stopped crying and was smiling, hence she handed him back to me and... repeat!
Fortunately i managed to get him to sleep on me eventually after half an hour of cradling and shushing...
But i can't help but say to myself... how?
Also at the end of my hour (one hour a week) My ex ripped Keiron from my arms (as he slept, subsequently waking him up) and storms out of the meeting place regardless of my saying "I don't to let him go"... [censored] she didn't even look me in the eye
After all of this... I was stuck in thought about - well everything a father would ever dread of thinking - that's why i returned here, to seek enlightenment
Hi Deny,
I have a young niece who comes to stay, she will sometimes sit with me on my lap for ages quite happy and other times she will just scream and scream until I put her down on the play gym, it's just how babies are, my niece would scream with my sister and stop when I took her too.
As for your ex just grabbing and walking away this isn't nice and you should try and discuss this with her to help her understand how this is not just for you but for you baby too.
