Had an interesting chat to my ex’s mother tonight. Things are okay, shes told me she doesn’t want to be in the middle of things concerning my son and his father and I. To which I was fully in agreement. I told her it wasn’t her right to be involved to that level nor her place. I appreciated their grandparents role as long as it was positive for my son. She’s aware her son needs to “grow up” and take some responsibility for himself. And that means waking up to the fact he’s in another country and trying to have a relationship with his son which simply isn’t working.

She also told me, or should I say moaned to me, about the “new” woman and how she doesn’t like her. I had to supress a giggle because I fondly remember all the horrid bitchy things she said and did when I first came into her son’s life. When we told her I was pregnant the first thing that came out of her mouth as she looked at her son in disgust was “Is it yours” …So that reaction regarding the new woman in his life didn’t surprise me in the slightest. I actually told her I told him I didn’t care if he fucked a horse, LOL she’s used to me now, or simply she deals with it or leaves me the hell alone. She’s a control freak in her family. The matriarch.

She now knows where I stand on the whole honesty policy and that I want her to butt out of things that concern my parenting and the involvement of her son as a father. She is also aware I will pull access at any given point where my son does not come first and where communication is lacking.

All in all it’s been a productive night and I feel good. And plans are pretty much finalised for the weekend munch *squeeee*
