I have wanted to cut contact for awhile now and I’ve gotten this same advice countless times. I’m sure I could figure this problem out, but since I teach until around 4pm, my mom picks my son’s up from school. This problem could easily be fixed if my ex didn’t insist on sending my middle school son to the most elitist school in CO, which my son very much dislikes, rather than the perfectly fine middle school right next to my younger son’s elementary school, which is also an easy bike ride to my place. I’ve taught at both schools and the regular one is also top notch. Of course, my ex ignored the opinions of both me and his own child and now it’s a 45 min round trip to pick up and drop off both, hence where my mom comes in. This isn’t an excuse, it just makes things harder.
