a new parenting book

So yesterday I had a very heated discussion with my ex about the things that he has been saying to Zach. On our way home from Day Camp yesterday Zach gave me a lengthy run down of a conversation that he had with his father over the weekend. Joey decided to let Zach know that Gary was not his father, and was just Mommy's boyfriend. So now an already confused child about his situation is even more confused about why Gary is not his Daddy. Let me stress that I have NEVER forced Zach into calling Gary, dad. He did that all on his own, and so whether he chooses to or not is completely up to him, but I was pissed that Joey thought it to be his reponsibility to try and tell Zach what Gary was to him. It was a very drawn out argument, and I am sure he did not listen to a word that I had to say. I have enough problems with Zach's behavior because of his confusion about life, but since this weekend things have become noticeably worse. Zach has been acting out with a lot of aggression, and it pisses me off because I know that it is a result of what happened over the weekend.

To keep the good news going, we found out today that Gary's ex-wife broke up with her boyfriend today. So now life has again become increasingly more difficult for us since she is back to being really bitter and blaming Gary for her current life situation. He found out from his 5 year old daughter when he picked her up today when she said "Daddy, Jimmy is moving out...Oh no I was not supposed to tell you." She is seriously telling her 5 year old daughter to already keep secrets from her father. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! So this makes guy number 5 that Rylee has seen in bed with her mom and now this one is out of the picture too.

All of these things are the reason for my heading. Obviously both of them need to start reading a completely different parenting book!!!! The one they are both using now was obviously not a popular reading!
