Ugh! Yes. Dh is totally onboard ... But ex-h, ds6's father, doesn't "believe" in giftedness. He says ds6 is "just a normal little boy with normal little boy interests," and that ds6 is simply "well-parented." Well congratulations, sir, on parenting your child all the way to PG! That man should get a cookie.
Ex-h is refusing to have anything to do with DYS now that ds is in, saying it's a waste of time and resources. Hello!? It's free! He won't do our telephone conference but expects me to take notes to feed back to him, which he'll then poo-poo anyway.
I'm fed up to my ears with this guy. He's ruining ds's opportunities with DYS by simply refusing to open his mind to the possibility that we might be dealing with something a little unusual here.
Luckily, my dh *is* on board ... But unluckily, ex-h is the one I have to work on! It's ridiculous. No words of wisdom, but condolences!
