...and the Bitch Wins, for the Sake of My Excellent Son
She gets her way. For his sake. I am feeling deflated, exhausted, disgusted. I spent a long time on the phone with my son's therapist. It would seem that the spectre of my ex- and me battling over this could very easily land him in the hospital, and she will in no way budge on this PowerPoint issue.

And Away We Go....Bar Mitzvah PowerPoint Wars Have Begun
For those of you drawn to this post by the mere absurdity of the title of this post, versus my excellent, loyal and supportive pals who know about my son's pending bar mitzvah and his mother's self-centeredness, I will recap the events of the past couple of weeks ( Read more... ) -

POSTERITY
This is my third and final post for this emotionally exhausting day. As I stated in the other two, it is the third of three posts that I am firing off today after a series of rapid-fire events that occurred in a 24-hour period starting on Sunday 1/27/08.
