I'm not alone! Boundary issues with the ex-wife.

I have my share of stories when it comes to dealing with the ex-wife.  She's aloof, flighty, awkwardly social or is it socially awkward?  In her case, I'll say both.  Often, after an encounter with her, I'm left thinking "how does one get through life like this?"  For instance, there's the time she called me in a panic hoping I was near her house so I could, get into her place, hopefully there'd be a key under the mat, find some legal documents she'd left behind and drive them to her since she needed them for a court hearing that morning.  Did I mention she's a lawyer?  Seriously.  Besides, why am I on her speed dial for such events?!  My husband's response was "great that she trusts you".  WTF? I would call every neighbor/friend/family member before calling her for help with something that further highlights my incompetencies...  How in the world do these people operate (heavy machinery) a vehicle, let alone raise children?!

Clearly, I was relieved to find this article about setting expectations and boundaries with the ex-wife.

Happy reading!  Nice to know I'm not the only one bewildered with this relationship.
