The news....

I finally did it! And this time I made it through!

I went and filed the support papers at the courthouse for the 3rd time....and I had everything in perfect order this time! I had to wait an hour and a bit until my number was up...and I went up to the window seriously considering taking off my shoes so I could cross my toes...loool!

Now just to give it to the ex! Which I will gladly be doing the next time he comes to visit the kids. I wonder if I should have a smile on my face?

~~~

I received a disturbing email from MM's ex. (yes, he emails me from time to time)...it seems that my 15 year old has been conversing with MM's 12 year old daughter...(WHAT THE???) He sent me a copy of the last email where my own child is writing...

"YOU AND YOUR FUCKING BROTHER!!! YOUR LIFE IS A LIE, YOU SHOULD GO BACK TO YOUR MOM!"

Among other things, not so nice. I'm shocked. So last night, I sat up alone with my 15 yr old. Daddys favourite girl, owner of the ipod touch......and talked. What I found out doesn't make me feel any better. It seems that MM gave up the email to her in the hopes of reconciling her with her children. MM gave her specific instructions about how to know the difference between her daughters writing and her ex husbands. Why on earth would MM try and get my daughter involved in such a thing?

So I called the ex.

I talked to him about the email and the stupid, daft ass that he is, he wanted to focus on what was written in the emails. But I kept pushing that aside and told him that I wasn't as concerned with the emails as I was with the inappropriateness of having MY daughter involved in such a mess. And I asked him if he really thought it was right having his 15 yr old cyber bully a 12 year old girl.......and his answer, thru his firmly clenched teeth....it's my problem now and I'll deal with it. End of discussion.

But I pushed it...

and I said, "Yes, you will deal with it because even though you aren't around alot you are morally obligated to protect YOUR children from harm even if it comes from your own house."

He didn't like that and asked me if I was done...but nope...not yet.

I thanked him for the ipod for his daughter and then told him that now he's succeeded in upsetting the other children and if that was his intention? Are you trying to make them hate each other? He then said....I'm completely fair with the kids and the next time I am with one of the children on their birthday, I will buy them whatever they want. I explained to him that his plan still wasn't fair...."what if your daughter asks for a laptop then?"

He basically shut the conversation down at that point....he's such an egotistical bastard with pride swelling out his butt! I did have the chance to tell him one last thing....."At least if we aren't together....we are still united in wanting the best for the children and being able to discuss them."

His response..... You did this.

Pardon me I said? And then he tries to cut me off saying..."LISTEN! We don't want to go there..."

Then you shouldn't have started it then, right? I think I'm done here anyways....and I said bye.

My reactions? Well, I didn't expect it would go over well, because for the ex this is me giving him a slap on the wrist and saying, "Naughty boy". Yes, I'm sure that' s how he looks at it. But what's even worse? He hung up with me and then called the 17 yr old on her phone.....venting all his pent up frustration on her....and I'm so disappointed about that.
