Funny you say that. How you can never sever ties. I was speaking to my stbx's best friend yesterday, and he says to me "it'll be done in a few months and he'll be out of your hair". But, I reminded him since we have a child together, it doesn't end. You still have to deal with all the BS to get through raising your child.

I, too, hate dealing with my stbx. It makes my blood boil. There are very few people who can do that to me. He is one of them. I'm normally very even keel, mild mannered and friendly. But stbx gets my shackles up every time. How do you get over that?
