I've been divorced around a decade and am coparenting my two children with my ex-husband. Our son (oldest, 17) lives with his father and stepmother, our daughter, 13, with me. I moved to the same town to be near them because it was unfolding that our daughter probably wouldn't have a relationship with dad and family otherwise. I never expected the royal treatment, or even thanks, but they are SO disrespectful of my schedule, they don't facilitate our son spending time with me, in fact they discourage it. Whereas I do what I can to facilitate our daughter spending time with them. I'm sorry to say that it's getting me down. I have five more years of this. I feel a slave to this situation. I would do whatever it took to make it better, but it's clear there isn't anything more I can do. Anyone have anything to say that will give me courage to face four and a half more years working with people who are disrespectful of me as a matter of course? I am single, by the way.
