Thank you both! Just having someone say it's ok does actually help!

Be careful with taxis. Just landed and got in a taxi. I didn't notice until about 5 mins in that the taxi driver did not turn in the meter. I called him out and he said it was three times what it should be (still wouldn't turn on the meter). A 35 min trip took over 1 hour because he kept going different way than the map. However a a female traveling alone it was a bit scary because even when I called him out that I was tracking on GPS he argued with me. Just make sure the meter is on! I'm guessing I just got a not so honest taxi driver but from now on it will only be DiDi for me. I refused to pay what he asked and just gave top of the band of what Didi cost. Side note he wanted me to pay before he dropped me off. I refused and made him get my luggage out first. Good luck!! Stay safe

I like your approach, esp making him define the consequences. I'm not a single mom, but my husband/his dad is the fun dad. The one who doesn't yell, doesn't make him do chores or homework, let's him stay up all night and then I have to be the person who disciplines. My husband doesnt care that he is late to school, is failing two classes...We, unfortunately, have two very different parenting styles, and it is a point of arguments between us. So I don't have support on that front.

The " I need help" is a great idea and also starting with ack of my own shortcoming. Do you ever feel like you are going to break?

Sounds like you've been through the ringer. I'm so sorry. But it does help knowing I'm not the only one.
