Background (ex is pissed because son has called me every name in the book and hates me when he doesn't get his way and I was going to send him to live with his dad due to son's school refusal) - for those not familiar, my ex is an alcoholic and a pot smoker. Wednesday, Jan 5th, 2009 Ex - Did you find out anything on the bus route? Me - No, not yet. U might want to talk to (son)....he said that he doesnt' want to go and school wasn't bad....(meaning he does not want to live with his dad) Ex - Go where? you guys are confusing me what is the deal? Me - You need to talk to him. He keeps telling me he doesn't want to go. I told him I would give him 1 week, but if he has one more outburst of anger on his sister or doesn't get up for school he was going there. Ex - Going where? Me- To live with you. Ex - here is the deal, you either want him to live there or here. I am not playing games anymore. Me - Since when did the emotional stability of our son become a game. This isn't about u. Thursday was met with calls I did not return... Friday, Jan. 8, 2010 Ex - Yr check will be in the mail today Me - R you not taking son this weekend? Ex - calls me and reads me the riot act (I am dirt....trash...and he is so much better off...thanks, I think I am the one better off...so sorry you feel that way...I dont' really give a f***)...click Me - from now on, I will not accept any phone calls from you until you learn to speak to me with respect.

I will not stand to be treated like this anymore. ur right, I do need help, the kind a father would give to his son. But I see ur r still the selfish man u have always been.

E-mail from my loving 15 year Ex-husband that I could give a **** less about (A copied slap in the face from his new lust-filled relationship): "This is all you were lacking…………………………………..

I truly do feel blessed that you are mine. Nothing in my life (other than the birth of my children) has brought me the happiness that you have. You're everything I've ever asked for and so much more.

Gunny376 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I am sorry u couldn't bring out the man in me. some people are just better at it than others No real man (and trust me after twenty years + in the Corps, I know some men that are men among men) would ever make a comment like that. Your better off without this clown, what a waste, what loser, a true jewel. Why are you engaging this Azzhat in any conversation other than absolutely necessary. He gave up his 'bitcin' rights and any commentary about you and your life the day he walked out the door. My XHEX started making comments about me and my how I'm living my life to my children awhile back, and I set her straight that she doesn't know spit about me, my life, or how I live my life. (The tables have flipped ~ and Karma is kicking her @zz ~ aka ~ "Who's crying now,...................) Thanks to the self discipline and self control the Corps taught me, I bit the bullet, went without, did without, ate BennieWennies and Ramen for years. Quit being a fool and got myself back into school ~ both formally and informally (bookstore and library) In so far as the DS goes, you might want to read of series of paperback books titled "Tough Love" (I've got them laying around here somewhere and can look up the author and the ISB number for you come Monday or Tuesday) When I was 15 and going through my rebellious teenage years, my Dad took me down, shaved my head (mind you this was in the early seventies), woke me up out of bed early one morning banging on a garbage can lid with a kitchen spoon, then took me down to the city jail and had me locked up for eight hours. Then he kicked me out of the house for twenty four hours. He had already called all of my friends parents and told them not to let me in. (Very small town Pop 1000) It was during January. And bitter cold. When I came home? He asked me, "Is this how you want to live your Life? Because that's the road your headed down." If you can't find the the books, let me know via PM and I'll mail you my copies via 'blind mail drop" (I'll have to check with the post office as how to do this ~ I've done it before.) Finally quit stressing over this @zzhat. You do owe other woman a card thanking him for taking him off of your hands. Your better off without him. Your biggest problem is in finding a card with the right sentiment? I don't think Hallmark makes a card that says something along the lines of ~ "Thank you! Thank you for taking this lying, cheating, two-timing, pot smoking, drunk SOB off of my hands! I really don't know how much longer I could have gone on! Now I can go and find myself a real man, a man that's a man's man, and that doesn't need a woman nor anyone else to be a man! Now I can go and find myself someone that's got just as much to give if not more, whose just as good if not better. You can have the KIA Baby, I'm going to find myself a Lexus!

carhill Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Thanks carhill; once you've married a dick, you always know one when you see one!:laugh::laugh: I've heard this story so many times over the decades, personally, that I've had to disconnect from it, especially the children part, as someone who always wanted children. Whoever said the best genes reproduce surely didn't mean some of these fathers I've had the pain of hearing about. TBH, I'd get him withheld for child support. So much cleaner that way and no conversations. That's my only advice. Best wishes Link to post Share on other sites

Author trippi1432 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Sheesh....was hoping you wouldn't see the palm trees Gunny....thought I hid the rum this time.... Yes....I let myself become the punching bag today....what can I say...he can't have a successful relationship with his "soul mate" without a willing punching bag. I KNOW...been fussed out by more than one person tonight for putting myself in that position. I did hold out for 3 days by not answering his calls or texts...guess he had a lot of hate and aggression built up...but if you notice, what set him off was me stating that I deserved more respect from him than that....never had it, never will. Yes...I brought it on myself, honestly, he wasn't going to give up hammering on me and dealing with his son until he nailed me in the ground...did I give him what he wants....always have, even at my own expense. Was it worth it..NO...did I go into self-destruct mode....most likely, not because his opinion matters but the insults do hurt....they have for 15 years...just gotten uglier. In the end, he dealt with his son tonight in a positive manner when he didn't want to go to his dad's. I didnt' have to hear about it....I guess that better satisfy him for a while because YES!! I'm tired of being the punching bag. Link to post Share on other sites

Where in tha' Hell did you ever get into you head that you couldn't do better than this? Anything he's got to offer? There's someone out there that got more!

Author trippi1432 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Today, after 3 days of NC (because I refuse to answer my phone) I get this in the mail today...a CS check for less than the amount. From Ex: Here is the $XXX, I was under the assumption (son) was staying with me for a week. I went and got $xxx in groceries. I will send the checks as listed on the "card" (business card). Once again, we had a lack of communication. You will get your monies owed. I am not retaliating. If there is one thing we could change about both of us, I wish we could both stop hurting each other's feelings. (Sorry, think you were doing a prety good run last week...hoping this isn't my karma or my destiny.) I will mail the checks on Thursday's for now on and maybe you will recieve on Friday's.

FeelingLonely98 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 trippi - Wow. I can't believe you have to deal with this BS. But why are you? NC my dear. NC!! If ever a situation demanded it ... Only respond to important matters about the child. Listen to Gunny, HnD, ... others. You don't have to put up with this POS guy. I guarantee that no matter how wonderful he claims the new relationship is it will disintegrate - OR it is already unsatisfying but he is claiming it is all peaches and cream. You deserve better ... Also, one of your text messages said something like "you no longer have to right to speak to me like that since I am no longer your wife". WRONG!!! He never had the right to speak to you like that. No man does. Like Gunny would say - No Real Man Would (talk to a woman like that). Link to post Share on other sites
Author trippi1432 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) Thanks FL98, I wish I could be totally NC with the ex..but now he is forefront and in the center...who did that...ME....son with behavorial problems and school issues. He is now living with his father. In the meantime, I continue to implode my life so I can rebuild from it. The only way from Rock Bottom is UP. To hell with being honest and vulnerable...after today...it's all about ME (as it should be ,but I hate myself for not knowing it). I'm done.....you can care...you can wish with all your heart that they see...but some people are so stuck in their in the place of oblivion they can't pull themselves out...sometimes you just have to save yourself. Pull away, back away...better off alone.....doesnt' mean that they didnt' mean the world to you. Just means you weren't a part of theirs.

All of these suffered while I was "lost" ... and would more than likely still be suffering if I had not found myself. (In some way I thank my STBXW for having ZERO desire to work on the M. Otherwise I'd still be lost to some level.) Save yourself trippi - sounds like the only plan now. I know you can not establish absolute NC. But make it as limited as possible. Don't deal with this jerk any more than is absolutely necessary. Good Luck!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

But make it as limited as possible. Don't deal with this jerk any more than is absolutely necessary. Good Luck!!!!! Actually, it's really strange now that ex has our son...the son is now defending me and his sister to him...lol! And ex called this morning to let me know that our son is staying in his current school and we can do split custody...one week with mom, one week with dad. I'm at least hopeful that this works and we can get along for our son. If nothing else, the ex seems happy which gets me off the hook when he is frustrated. Now...hopefully I can find some peace from all the chaos and work on me. Link to post Share on other sites
hopesndreams Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 It will always and forever be, just about him, his feelings. Get along with him? You are kidding, right? He has no right in your business. Not anymore. End it. After I left my 1st H, he knew absolutely nothing about MY life, and we had joint custody of 2 little kids. Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks H&D, honestly, there is nothing to end there....he has HIS life and I have MINE but we have to SHARE the son. If this gets my ex off my back and is good for our son, then it is what it is. Ultimately, I need to work on me and I need to find some peace somewhere in all of this drama. Link to post Share on other sites
