Hi- I am also in a serious relationship with a WONDERFUL man, who, I think is also a great dad. His 7 year old son is supposed to be under 50/50 shared custody, with very few specifics about times and days that he is to be with mom or dad.
Mom is a huge drama queen (I am the most "plain vanilla" girl around in that I hate turmoil, gossip, arguing, confrontation, etc) and lately I feel like I am in the middle of working on a terrific relationship with a super good guy, learning to be a player in his son's life (not only am I NOT a mom, but I am an only child to boot!), and then trying to navigate the (EEK!) waters of the drama and hostility with the ex-wife. Any advice???
