Fall TV

Fall 2021 - His dad watching rick and morty episodes with him at and after 1030pm last night instead of something age appropriate, after haven had spent 1/2 hour-1 hour before bedtime watching age appropriate educational programs. He's 2 years old and seems to have made personal goals of memorizing the alphabet, the names of colors, and numbers. He's doing amazing and repeats back what he's learning daily as he practices those things out loud.

Max seems clueless to Haven's self-motivated learning, or just doesnt give a fuck, bc ive never heard him acknowledge it with haven and he hasnt discussed it with me. He's never discussed Haven's education with me, actually. He argued with me and refused to change the show when i called him out on the inappropriateness of what he was doing, especially with the programs intended for teenage to adult-age audiences, and the countless "action" scenes the shows portrayed, along with unsavory and cruel characters and stressful situations, lots of incidences of multiple high pitched voices screaming. The shows haven had just watched were pretty much 0 stress with gentle voices and bright, cheerful visuals. Very calm.

Then max sent me a long message about disrespecting him in "[his] house"

and threatened to once again destroy the relationship my son Haven and I have:

"This is the last time I say anything about it to you. You are so close to fucking this up for

yourself, Haven and me. Your behavior needs to change or I will make the changes I feel are necessary. Your being here is not a given or guaranteed. You are here because I allow you to be. I'm not going to put up with your disrespect in my house. I don't have to. You can either adjust your attitude or not and live with the consequences. Know that if things don't change immediately, the repercussions will be drastic and permanent. You've been warned, for the last time."

which we've been forced by Max and his family three times now to survive our love being killed and then heart-breakingly slowly rebuilt as we had to learn each other again as the new persons we had unavoidably become

i didn't even do anything to him
