In the beginning...

  They knew each other as kids, dated a short period of time in their late teens/early twenties, she got pregnant so they got married.  So they should have lived happily ever after...right?  Um, no.  Unfortunately for the kids, this is not a Disney movie; this is real life.  They had stupid parents who got pregnant without planning it, flew by the seat of their pants, acted young and dumb, had a second kid together and ended up getting divorced.

  The Ex filed for divorce the first time (Yes, there was more than the "first" time) when she was nine months pregnant with their daughter.  Their daughter was born, they decided to "work it out" and had the divorce action dismissed.

  Two years later, The Ex filed for divorce again.  Again, they decided to "work it out" for the kids.

  A mere seven months later, she filed for divorce the third time.  She actually approached him at some point during the proceedings, claiming she wanted to work it out and that she still loved him.  He told her no, he was done; they were getting divorced and there was no stopping it this time.

  In the middle of their constant make-up/break up relationship, they would be happy; then they would start fighting, she would kick him out and/or he would move out, they would start seeing other people because their marriage was "over," they would decide they missed each other and get back together, and then repeat.

  And then after the divorce was finalized, I entered the picture.  I'm sure in some crevice of her mind, The Ex thought that eventually my husband would realize the error of his ways(Or something) and they would reunite and be oh-so-happy forever and ever and ever.  Wait, she did think that.  She actually told him that.  She said she was going to lose weight and look amazing and he would "realize what he lost" and he would regret the divorce and would try to come back and blah blah blah blah blah.  Well honey, it's eight years later - you're not any skinnier and he has yet to lose even a minute of sleep over you.  But I digress...

  The entire point of this blog is exactly as the title says - no matter what goes wrong in her life, no matter what failures she has, no matter what she could have done differently, it all circles back to the same exact thing:  It's All My Husband's Fault.

If it walks like a duck....

  I could have told you a long time ago that The Ex is only claiming that Son has depression because it draws more attention to her and she thinks it will convince the court to grant her placement.  However, all of her actions prove that she's not actually concerned at all about Son; if he actually had depression, there's no way he'd be better off with her because she doesn't even pay attention to him right now.   A little over a week ago, Husband emailed The Ex saying that Son told us that she is telling him he is depressed and needs to be on medication.  Husband said that Son is not exhibiting any signs of depression and gave specific examples of how/why; he also said that since The Ex had a concern, he would schedule a doctor's appointment for Son and let her know when it is so that she could attend if she would like.   It took The Ex four days to respond. ( If you honestly thought your kid was depressed, wouldn't you be checking up on them a bit more fre...

Voicemails from 2012

  Sometime in mid-January:      “It’s [The Ex], I just wanted to talk to the kids. Can you please have them call me? Thanks.”   An hour and forty-nine minutes later:      “Hey [Husband], it’s [The Ex]. I called about two hours ago, if not a little more, to talk to the kids. Um, still waiting for you to have them call me back. Bye.” ( It was Family Night.  We didn't have our phones and she knew this. )   Early February:      “Hey [Husband], it’s [The Ex]. Wanted to talk to the kids, if you can have them return my call. Um...I know you say 5 o’clock is the best time to call so...I was hoping to catch ‘em. Have ‘em give me a call. Bye.”  ( Husband never said this.  Our schedule had been the same since 2009; the kids and I didn't get home until around 5:30pm.  The Ex even left a voicemail in 2010 saying that Husband had told her the kids get home at 5:30pm.  But now magically, Husband...

Must be awfully icy in Hell right now.

   Son & Girlfriend recently had a party for Granddaughter's second birthday.  Girlfriend created a Facebook event and invited all of their guests.  The Ex never responded one way or the other; given that Grandson is 3 years old and The Ex has attended his very first birthday party but not the others, I didn't know if she was going to attend or not.   About 2 weeks before the party, The Ex had planned a couples' weekend and invited her best friend, the best friend's boyfriend, and also Daughter and her new boyfriend.  The friend ended up backing out but Daughter and her boyfriend went.  Daughter said she also pre-warned her boyfriend that Ned is extremely awkward, that he had a staring problem, and that he's a terrible driver; her boyfriend later told her that he thought she was kidding about all of it but she was, in fact, warning him about the truth.  Apparently, Ned will just stare right at you and not say a single word; if you look back at...
