I've kept up my friendship with ex-shat's step mom. I'm the daughter she never had and she has been able to keep up a relationship with Teslet. Haven't seen ex-shat's dad since last Sept...possibly even August. Ex-shat started lying about me to his dad and his dad was buying it. Teslet and I are going to meet ex-shat's stepmom today for a late lunch...she just texted and said his dad is coming too. I'm nervous and not sure about this.
Just going to keep the focus on Teslet the whole time until I can gauge what is going on with ex-shat's dad.
Mojo please.

Mojo your way but you don't need it. Ex-shat's pop wouldn't invite himself along if he wasn't beginning to see the truth of the situation.

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Thanks everyone! It went well. I could tell he was as apprehensive as I was. But we always got along so well so it wasn't too hard to find lots of safe ground to talk about.
I also think he realizes the only way he is going to consistently see his grandson is through me.
The things that ex-shat was saying about me to his dad were so incredibly hurtful. It hurt that his dad believed them...I know he wanted to hang on to his son (they've had a very rocky relationship over the years.) But I guess it just goes to show that blaming the ex-wife for ALL your woes and problems doesn't work forever with reasonable people.
