Ex-Spouse resistance

I am new to the message board (I just now found it). I met a bunch of you at the conference n November (I brought my 10-year-old son along with me).  I was wondering if anyone has to deal not only with their children’s health, but also conflicting views by a spouse, ex-spouse, or some other caregiver. My ex husband has been slow to accept the fact that 2 of our 3 children actually has CAH. He does give them their meds (there are rare occasions when he was too busy to dose them, but that seems to be quite rare). Now my son is about to start HGH. The doctor suggested it after our last visit in October. I have been reading about it, and working towards getting it approved. Now my ex wants a second opinion, and doesn’t know if starting HGH is the correct course to take. I am just drained at this point. I find maintaining my kids health more than a chore.  I take them to their endocrinologist appointments (my ex has gone one time in about 2 1/2 years). I take them for bloodwork. And I understand CAH and how it is evolving, particularly with my son.  Does anyone have an obstacle like this to overcome? I feel like I do make the final decisions,  but not to have the support and common goal to work towards is just plain icky.
