The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
So my mediation session was moved again, which is okay because it gives me more time to prepare.
My ex-A has not contacted my son or myself since that last incident. However, that day he was trying to get me talk about mediation before mediation.
He did state "that he wants me to acknowledge that he is a good father." I know this will come up in the mediation session. I still have Paula's wording which I think is excellent. Do you think that wording is addressing the same issue?
He basically is telling me he wants acknowledgement without behavior change. I am really unsure how to respond but I know it makes me really uncomfortable that he is placing me in that position. I feel like "his" parent.
I should also note. He has wanted me to change my belief system to suit his behavior the whole time I have known him. He really goes "off" if I say I am not comfortable with certain behavior.
Keep the focus on what works for you. In support, always
