But, I'm glad he persisted, despite my resistance back then. I'm relieved that he continued to expect us to co-parent and that he didn't accommodate my limitations. He expected us to attend parents evenings together, for instance - I used to be furious that he would book up the appointments even though he knew I wouldn't go with him. Back then, I wanted eliminate my child's father from my life. But I didn't. I made a choice. For my child.
