The Spath Has Set Me Back

Haven't written for a long time because I've been completely overwhelmed by the craziness of the year.  So very much has happened since January when I got the idea to start blogging my feelings about being enmeshed in a co-parenting relationship with a sociopath.  The spath ran off to Belize for a "mission trip."  He got engaged to his spath girlfriend.  He refused to cooperate with court ordered mediation and therapy for our daughter.  He got his parenting time limited AGAIN.  I took our daughter on spring break, and he did everything he could to make our daughter upset while we were there including trying to assure her that she would not be in his upcoming wedding if she did not behave the way he wanted.  He accused our daughter of being at parties drinking and taking pills.  She was 13 at the time.  The massive amounts of emails he has sent me and the court interactions, it's almost mind boggling.  So in the upcoming months, I'm going to start pulling together a rough timeline and I'm going to start making the skeleton for a book or at least a collection of writings.  I am certain that with all the ramblings I've done in the past year or two, many of my friends wish to not have anything to do with me.  I've even had words with my ex best friend about my "mental problems" because it upsets me that my ex is such a manipulative freak.  The very end result to sum it up quickly is that our judge finally issued an order in July.  I initially thought it was a good order, but upon really putting thought into it, I realized it was like a giant slap in the face to me, and knowing that my ex would completely twist every possible situation into screwing me out of any time I would get.  The hardest thing is that my daughter cries A LOT.  She says she doesn't want to go with him, and she thinks nobody listens to her.  She is depressed.  She goes to therapy regularly, and now her dad wants to try and say that she's "just fine," and she doesn't need all this therapy.

This is just so utterly and completely dysfunctional and I realized last night after receiving about seven or eight emails from the spath, that the situation is actually making me DEPRESSED.

So if you've stumbled across this blog by searching terms like parent alienation or coparenting or personality disorder or sociopath, stay tuned.  I've got some goodies for you.
