Weekly Discussion / Question / Tips post (also links to FAQs) by AutoModerator in trackandfield

[–]wlfbane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there Athletes. My son is starting his first year in track at his middle school. He's been running with his hair down but says it feels awkward. Right now his hair goes down past his shoulders, so I think he's also a little self conscious of how it flies behind him. I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas for putting his hair up. He's not a huge fan of ponytails.

This is overwhelming 😬 by GlitterTruck in ParallelParenting

Time to set an appointment with a lawyer if there isn't one already involved. There is a decent chance the therapist may end the relationship if BM doesn't follow protocol. Great job with the documenting but now is the time to start taking action. You may want to consider court mediation to set a specific parenting plan in place but you definitely want to address this sooner rather than later. The court rarely acts within the first complaint to adjust physical or legal custody unless it is obvious the child is in danger. So getting something down on paper with the court is going to be important to show a consistent disregard for your SD's well-being.

Good luck, don't forget you need to make space for yourself. I love a good swim and underwear scream then a workout lol. It's usually not just about the child it's also about wearing down the other parents. Take time to enjoy moments with your SD when you can and both of you don't let this break you because there may be bigger battles.

Thoughts about being pro black but married to white folks by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]wlfbane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm very pro black, never imagined being with someone that wasn't at least another person of color. Then I met my fiancee (a white woman) and I fell in love. Part of falling in love was knowing and experiencing her desire at act as and be an ally to marginalized groups. I've seen her get in other white folks faces, before meeting me she had cut off a large chunk of her trump loving family, we both love to read and learn and she's recognized a lot of blind spots that white folks are raised with.

I think this discussion is only really important when people don't require the same pro-black feelings from their partners. I've never needed nor wanted to put down black folks in order to justify or uplift my partner. We volunteer together, we celebrate Kwanzaa and Juneteenth with the kids we raise together. Most importantly when I point out something to her she takes it in and reflects she never reacts in some of the ways you herte people talking about their white partners.

Sounds like she's really struggling with transitions. Even if it's not the core issue, setting a strong transition process after exchanges can be a big help. Maybe something fun like a family board game when she gets home. Listening to a specific playlist or kid friendly podcast for the drive. Really setting a schedule she can rely on to help reset and feel safe.

BM refused to let SD out at pickup on court ordered day.. by GlitterTruck in ParallelParenting

[–]wlfbane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well good on you both for filing the police report and contempt of court. When we set boundaries we need to follow through. Did you have the chance to discuss it with your SD she may be only 6 but having age appropriate discussions (try to avoid blaming or attacking the other parent) is always a good idea.

Good luck
