One more year and Zach will be an adult and you can arrange quality time with him without your ex being entitled to interfere. So close!
I just skipped back in your journal a little to catch up on your personal news and was entertained by your recent post about Zach's political philosophy journey, lol. Sounds like he's got some eye-rolly and stereotypical ideas for an intellectual teenage boy but I'm heartened by the fact that he seems to be good at having a productive conversation about the topic with people who disagree with him. His comment that he respects how you stick to your views was adorable. I think that's also how you'll get through to him before he gets warped into one of those toxic idiots; he clearly looks up to you and respects you and if he can easily answer the question "what would Mom say?" then that will be a good compass for him as he keeps exploring these ideas and learning more about what's behind them. <3
