Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.
I was visiting my son when the subject came up what would we do of either one of us win the lottery. I stated I would set up my ex and son so child support would be set. and if she won the lottery? buy me a house next to her. meaning keep an eye on me. she will still try the control me.i rebuffed that offcourse. first thing I would do is get a lawyer and make a contract on support for child with all that money.
She could mean that she wants you to be close to your son...
What if's are dangerous. It's just a mind game, anyway.
I'd use this occurrence to examine why this happening made you feel this way? Do you think she's doing that to your son- controlling him?
In a situation like that I would have said something like "A house just for me! Yey! Once it's on my name I can sell it and buy another one on the opposite side of town! Ha ha ha!". Her reaction to that can tell you if she gets humor or if she's a controlling person. Controlling people become serious and vindictive after a comeback. People who get fun don't.
Remember: she's your EX now, so you only owe her in the way of supporting your child together.
Be polite at a distance and learn how to draw boundaries. Just say, "Oooh... that's a touchy subject. I think we'd best stay to topics relating to our son." Then smile and ask how he's doing at school or whatever.
