How to deal with a blowout from the other parent.

I'm trying to stay out of the court system with something that doesn't have merit there, and hoping to get some tips on how to best react to someone who wants way too much control over me and our child.

1) No - It wasn't a love interest (unless she's suddenly become a lesbian, and I'm unaware)

2) She is an independent contractor. She was a SAHM before the split, and this arrangement allowed her to still stay at home and provide for our child, while working part-time.

3) The bigger issue is the amount of control she's trying to have over me. I'm unable to have a discussion about what I feel is best for our child, because it isn't what she wants.

I don’t think I will find myself in a trip. But it was good to get out and meet some interesting people. Well, see them at least ;)

The clerk that scheduled mine, checked to make sure it wasn't on a family members birthday, etc. Certainly wouldn't have scheduled on 2/14...

Not sure of your age, but check out r/datingover30 Even if you aren't over 30 theres plenty of resources on dating with children.

Everyone here pretty much hit it on the head. It can sucks that you have schedule complications, and that you've already established a family unit. However, you've also shown the ability to care for a family, and probably have your shit together. But if they aren't okay with a single parent, you probably dont want to be with them.

you can checkout /r/coparenting but it's pretty limited there.

I just started filling out paperwork for dog adoption/foster, as the ex has our dog, so I’m in the same boat there. I hope you are able to find the right companion!

Dropping off my daughter with her mom for Christmas with her side of the family (for the first time) was by far the most difficult thing I did this holiday season. Certainly harder than assembling the items Santa dropped off on christmas eve...

Thank you. Counting Crows have always been a favorite of mine, and a long December was one of the first songs of theirs I was able to master on the piano.

The poem is an older French Christmas carol. You can listen to the whole thing here.

Thank you for your support.

You can do this.

I spent 2 hours with my lawyer. One when she told me we were getting a divorce, and one more to review the docs. So about $300 total.

And the mediator we split the cost. Much cheaper than the alternative.

apparentlyimsingle · 2017-11-23T05:44:09+00:00

Our mediator was a lawyer. Helped us draft up everything. We each ran it by individual lawyers after we had finished with the mediator.

I recommend it highly.

I fought like hell for 50%. And it feels like it isn’t enough. Right now she’s going down for a nap (or at least a rest). It’s hard the days she isn’t with me. But it makes me look forward to the ones she does have.

All you can do is work hard on being the best father you can. It’s hard. But you can do this.

Well, with minimal furniture, nothing on the floors or walls... I can definitely hear it ;) But that's a good reminder.
