I've had the night to think about the events of the past week and have decided that since what I set out to do was ultimately accomplished, I need to move on and stop getting myself worked up about the situation. Because of that, I've edited the two posts I had written about the cat hair debacle and saved them as drafts.
What I *should* have done yesterday instead of letting myself get goaded into a fight was to just say, "There are Chase's clothes...Here is a box he can use for his clothes while he's at your house...if B needs to speak to me, he can call or email." And just gotten in my car and left. THAT would have been the "bigger person" thing to do.
Instead I found myself getting defensive for not wanting my son to bring cat hair home after a weekend at his father's house.

I can't personally relate to sharing custody of a child with an ex, but I definitely can see where things could get really hairy.
ReplyDeleteKnowing my temper I may have reacted before thinking it though.... good luck and keep breathing!
