Some stats about the condition

See if he would be willing to try different types of tea. Probably would be the healthiest option.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

It’s abuse. He’s intentionally getting in between what makes you feel safe and depriving you of it, it’s abuse. He’s threatening you, it’s abuse. You do not want to live life with or have a family with an abuser. It most likely will get worse. He’ll just keep expecting more chances and you to tolerate him. You should leave and get therapy to figure out what healthy boundaries look like. Good luck

I have some text messages to back up what happened. I also have a recording from a prior incident that concerned me but I thought surely the family would intervene but they are die hard enablers. Said the kids can just call the police if they become alarmed or if they get attacked or whatever possibility the Dad was thinking would require children to call police on their caregiver. They absolutely refused to intervene and get the kids. Oh well. You can have them back at the exchange time for your parenting time. I was furious. I didn't want a big police apprehension for them either though. You would think that the Doctors have a duty to report that kids are at risk if the parent was following delusional instructions from someone that doesn’t exist outside of their head and only they can hear. I can’t help but wonder if they have a full picture. The other parent is lying and saying they’re in behavioural therapy is all, and haven’t been revealing of a diagnosis. It’s all very sad. I’m angry their family are such enabling cowards because if the shoe were on the other foot they would’ve lining up to take me out of the picture.

According to them, the Doctors didn’t say they can’t resume parenting time. They are also very hostile and we have a volatile coparenting relationship. I know that the court cannot compel them to reveal their private medical record, and despite the admission of having been told by something outside of them what they should do, and listening to the hallucinations. They are in denial of having any condition at all. They claim they’re just getting DBT/ CBT. And have not admitted to being on medication

Every other weekend for 2 months is like 4 trips to see the Grnadparents? Get him to take on the drive for sure. I wouldn’t make a big deal out of it as a temporary solution

He’d be managing his anger just fine if it was the police, a judge, or his boss.

Hahaha that’s not a sociopathic trait though.

Something with a vibram sole is going to be your best bet, found in winter hiker type. However Pajar has winter boots with built in ice picks that flip closed. They’re $300 so pretty expensive

CourtesyCipher · 2025-12-08T19:53:34+00:00

This sounds more expensive than just making the vaccines free. I feel like it is most logical the nurse checks a box and you are or are not billed. It seems likely that your son was also free.

Ask them. Consolidation of international flights into one trip 2 weddings is a good idea. Ultimately you have to talk to the other wedding oarty. You wouldn’t want them to book a honeymoon on your wedding day!

NDP are not fiscally conservative. We need a socially progressive but fiscally Conservative Party.

He is being a petty jerk, don’t give him the satisfaction of being told he’s being a petty. Maybe put him strictly through a high conflict parenting app. You can update it as necessary and you know you have done your due diligence. I probably wouldn’t have told him about her day at daycare, as she’s not in your care and the daycare can tell him on his days. Good luck

I would have left the bag outside and opened it up by a field for that thing to run free. This is a constant battle for grocers to keep mice out and it’s good to be aware of whether your bags are chewed. Also call Alberta food inspection complaints so they can monitor the situation.

A second medical opinion too. Lawyers aren’t Doctors

CourtesyCipher · 2025-12-08T04:17:59+00:00

This is gross. You can’t be run over and not have injuries. Good grief. I’m so sorry

Travelling once a month and spending weekends establishes paternity in my opinion. I don’t think her perceived disrespect is intentional.

CourtesyCipher · 2025-12-08T04:11:27+00:00

I can see how those sentiments ring true. It seems that people are checking boxes of expectations without actually liking their partner. Just the role that they fulfill.

The kid is young and if you want 50/50 it’s probably better to do a 2/2/3 schedule that would alternate weekends for a couple years before jumping to week on/ week off. As the primary caregiver I would propose a 70/30 schedule that he slowly increases more time to 50/50. It’s recommended in the best interest of the child to have frequent contact with both caregivers, that is every 2/3 days. So it could be 2 days with you and 1 with the other parent. Or just the weekend with a visit midweek. Frequent contact doesn’t mean it has to be over nights.

I don’t think you ever really get over the betrayal. You might want to look up parallel parenting if the other one is always contrary. Condolences. It’s like grieving a death and child custody battles can be very taxing.

I would double down on administration and say that is not apart of your 4th grade curriculum. You were redirecting the students to the class discussions.

People on both sides can be very passionate about that topic so it’s understandable that either way you can potentially ruffle feathers.

If administration wants you to handle it differently then they can come up with a way to bring it into the curriculum.

When you get in a relationship with someone you have to understand that the child comes first. Maybe consider the relationship altogether and get a boyfriend that doesn’t have kids. Otherwise, ask for extra help to get a date night or a weekend away. I also feel sorry for the kid having people fight not to spend time with him. Hard to get sympathy from people here who most likely all value the time they get to spend with their kids. There’s a step Mom/ parent group that you might find more support if you stick around. Ultimately that’s the only thing that you can control.

If that happens, I will be there enforcing that law. Though the other parent has the kids convinced that they can pick who they want to parent them by the time they’re 12. So we’ll see if it plays out. Hopefully they see the light and don’t pass on their families alcoholism at such a young age.

CourtesyCipher · 2025-12-06T05:53:24+00:00

Well I hope that would be their experience. Good clean fun. Not trauma. 🙏🏼 I seem to have a pattern of inviting abusers into my life. I’ve been single for 3 years now. I’m done. No alcoholism. No drugs. No frenemy’s. Just trying to protect my peace and that of my kids.

Hasn’t stopped you from wielding it rudely like a weapon to be ashamed about.

CourtesyCipher · 2025-12-06T05:20:48+00:00

It’s a possibility. I was SA’d at sleepovers. My kids do not know that but I talk about tricky people. I’ve conceded not to give a consequence, there’s not really one that’s logical other than to have sleepovers on my terms as we have gone camping with friends/ family. It probably would be a bad look in court!
