My Email Doesn't Work....But Only When You're The One Emailing Me
In 2009, The Ex gave Husband her email address. For what, I don't know but she did. Then placement changed, the kids came to live here, Husband told The Ex he would email her information. Daughter wanted to be in cheerleading; Husband asked The Ex who agreed to Daughter participating but said she wasn't going to help pay for it. Within two weeks of this happening, Husband emailed The Ex with info about Daughter's practice and performances (Exactly thirty-one days after this email was sent, The Ex screamed at Husband that he hadn't discussed this with her) The same day that Husband sent the email about cheerleading, he also emailed The Ex about a PTA meeting which she chose not to attend (And then months later, she called the school and said she had "no idea" where the kids had been attending school)
Husband emailed her about the kids' therapy appointments; she never came to a single one of them. (Way to support your children. You're the reason they need therapy in the first place and you can't be bothered to come sit down and talk things out with them or us)
Husband emailed her about the kids having off on a Friday from school and said she could pick them up early that day if she wanted; The Ex never replied, then told Husband that she didn't have Internet access anymore so she couldn't check her email. We gave her the benefit of the doubt, stopped emailing her for awhile.
In November of 2011, I popped up on our Facebook feeds that Son and Daughter were now friends with The Ex (But The Ex "didn't have Internet") The Ex also sent a friend request to Husband (This was just beyond bizarre; she and Husband were not getting along the greatest right then. Even stranger was while The Ex did not send me a friend request, she was sending friend requests to MY friends - people she had never met or even spoken to in her life) We got her new email from her Facebook account. The Ex would post status updates, upload pictures, comment on her friends' Facebook postings but would never email Husband.
Then we had court and The Ex was ordered to start paying variable expenses for the kids; part of this order read that receipts would be exchanged by mail so neither party could claim they hadn't gotten a receipt. Husband began scanning and emailing receipts to The Ex.
Two weeks after this order, Husband told The Ex in person he would email her the receipts. The Ex said her email didn't work. (The week before court, The Ex had called the kids' therapy office and asked the receptionist to email her copies of the bills. Now, two weeks later, her email "doesn't work") Husband emailed the receipt anyway. A week later, Husband asked if she had gotten the email; The Ex said yes. The week after that she paid Husband in cash for the variable expenses (Sooo, guess that email works after all?)
Husband had been emailing The Ex since 2009. The first email she sent to him was on October 15, 2012. Six days later, Husband got a blank email from her that showed it was sent from a cell phone. The Ex did not email him again until January; now she was angry and claiming she had to "drive across town to her cousins to look at this" (She had a smartphone with a data plan. Why did she drive across town? Oh, because she was busy pretending not to have Internet access so that communication would not be in writing.)
After we spoke to the guardian ad litem and restarted placement, then The Ex was willing to communicate by email. Two emails in March about other things; five emails in April saying she was not going to pay for school lunches and was going to put both kids in baseball in Hometown.
Then nothing again until June, in which she sent three emails about exchanging the kids and said that Son was going to be babysitting for her kids while she was at work (Awesome way to spend summer vacation)
The Ex was quiet for another month and five days, until she was angry about Daughter's cancelled game. She sent a nasty reply to Husband's email from the week before; ten minutes later, she sent another email demanding that Son be brought home that night. When Husband told her he wasn't bringing Son back, she sent a third email that night saying Husband was selfish and blah blah blah.
She was quiet again for two and a half weeks; then she suddenly disagreed with Son playing football in School City and with Son getting contacts. Eleven days later, she sent two emails - one about exchanging the kids and one arguing over school supplies, how much she should pay, why didn't Husband give her a supply list, etc. Ten days later, she sent two emails about exchanging the kids.
Two months later, The Ex and Husband had mediation; during their session, The Ex openly admitted that she had a smartphone with a data plan but claimed she was cutting her Internet service "to save money." (Yet for weeks afterward, Daughter would log into her Facebook using a mobile phone while she was with The Ex) Two days after the mediation session, The Ex sent an email asking if she could pick up the kids early the very next night instead of on Friday; she said Husband had "walked away" when she tried talking to him about it (She never tried talking to him) and she said she already talked to the kids and they wanted to come to her house (She had literally tried to vilify Husband exactly six days before this, saying that Husband shouldn't be talking to the kids about activities "without talking to her about it first." If the kids come to Husband and say they want to do something, that is wrong; if The Ex tries to change the placement schedule with the kids before talking to Husband about it, that is okay. The court order only applies when she wants it to apply.)
She emailed him once twelve days after that. That was almost two months ago; she has sent nothing since then.
From October 15, 2012 until November 4, 2013, The Ex has sent Husband a grand total of 23 emails. In that same exact time frame, Husband has sent The Ex a total of 78 emails.
Even now, The Ex continues to tell Husband that he does not communicate with her.
