I swear he makes me insane like no one else on the planet. I hate him. I hate him I hate him I hate him. Why can't he just be NORMAL? Why does everything have to be this big dramatic ghetto Jerry Springer spectacle?
I'm glad I finally got to talk to my 13 year old daughter after he's had her 3 weeks with no contact. I do not appreciate his ex-wife grabbing the phone and screaming that I'm "stealing" from her because in splitting the cost of her travel out there, I credited it to his 8 THOUSAND DOLLAR DELINQUENT child support account rather than sending them cash. Why on earth would I EVER send them cash? So now evidently they're refusing to let her call me, let her take my calls, are talking trash to her about me, and are refusing to put her on the train to come home, saying that I have to come fetch her (almost 3 hr drive each way).
Thank GOD he doesn't know about the bipolar or I can imagine the chaos that would ensue. He should talk - he's on Depakote. (He has a brain tumor. But it's still not an excuse for being such a loser and A-hole.)
Sorry. I'm trying to figure out why you have to split the cost of her travelling to see him. I hope you guys can work this out for her sake. Poor kid's caught in the middle of 2 parents who can't stand each other. 3 hours isn't so long. I think he should probably travel to get her in the future though. It's his visitation so he should be responsible for getting her there. I hope it gets better for you. Probably limited contact with him when things are rough for you would help you out in general. Take care.
The split transport? Cuz it's in the court order. :( Along with a bunch of other idiocy. I'm in the middle of writing a petition to change things around. It will take months, and may or may not be successful, but it's worth a shot and a filing fee.
*sigh* I need more chocolate.
No one pushes my buttons more than him. Every time I think I've made peace with him, it just all blows up. Most of the time I don't hate him. I don't even think about him. He's totally irrelevant to my life. But then he decides to be difficult about stupid crap, like driving 12 whole miles to the train station, and it just gets out of control so fast.
It's a good thing we got divorced, or one of us would have been widowed! :P
Sounds like you need to go back to court anyway if he owes you that much money. Maybe they can do a wage garnishment or something to that effect. Good luck hun.
I wish it were that easy. He has a brain tumor, and has been waiting for a social security disability determination for about 2 years now. Collection on his account is suspended until that determination is made. Thanks for the luck - I'll need it!
