I'm really upset with myself as for the first time since our split 6 weeks ago (I left him, we have 20month old DD), I've been unreasonable. Just need to vent as sitting here in tears. I'm annoyed at myself. I've been incredibly reasonable since the split, but not today (too long a story as to why the change).
I booked an osteopath appointment for our DD to check out her walking, ex wanted to come. I told him he didn't need to come,wouldn't benefit our DD and that I didn't want to endure the horrible atmosphere. He told me I couldn't proceed without his consent and that until he'd spoken to our DD's consultant that I couldn't do anything and to cancel the appointment.
Now, I realise that I was wrong. If he wants to come then I should be glad he cares so much about our DD. But I didn't want him to come as a) didn't see the point (he never bothered when we were together) and b) I really didn't want to have to be in the same room as him.
It was wrong of me.
God, this separation thing with a child is hard. Normally when you separate you don't have to see the person you don't love anymore again if you don't want to. You can deal with your emotions away from the ex. But this way, you can't avoid the ex. I'm just finding my feet.
Any advice?
ps - Ex was Mr Nice on the surface, but to me ended up being a controlling, manipulative and totally unreasonable man(hence me leaving).
