It's All My Husband's Fault

  Son was told for at least two years he would need money to buy a vehicle when he turned 16.  Son mentioned a few times that The Ex's dad said he would buy him his first car, so Son spent all of his birthday/Christmas/confirmation money every year.  Suddenly, it was time to drive, he didn't have anything saved and The Ex's dad didn't have any money  or  a car for him.  Son also conveniently got amnesia and claimed he didn't remember saying that there would be a car purchased for him.   A little less than a year and half ago, Son was being told and repeated to me that he didn't need his license and that he didn't have to listen to me because I'm not his biological mother. ( That last part is because I was the one setting everything up...you know, how most moms do. )  Despite this, we got Son enrolled in and took him to his driver's education classes, found a decent car and lent him the money to buy it, and took him to get his license.  Son ...

  The Ex did read the most recent message from Husband asking about payment for the medical bills; naturally, she didn't reply with anything.  However, last night she went on Facebook to tell everyone that her son lost his first tooth.  The Ex wrote: "My little man [name] lost his first tooth. I noticed it when I was helping him brush his teeth. I was so upset he didn't even know he had lost it. ( This bothers me, and I don't know why.  It just strikes me as odd.  Like, you didn't know that your kid had a loose tooth?  How did he lose it and not realize?  Why were you upset by this? ) Yup!!! ( ...I don't know what that's supposed to mean. ) Went looking with a flashlight with [Ned's first & last name] help all through the house ( This seems like a lot of work for a tooth that you're going to throw away.  You can't even be bothered to give your oldest kids' school your contact information which would take about 30 seconds, but you'r...

  After Husband pointed out that The Ex really doesn't provide any kind of support for Son or Daughter and can thereby afford to take them to just a few appointments every year, she had a lengthy response: "The kids( ' ) placement time is with me at 5:30pm on the Mondays I get them back from you( I don't know why she felt the need to say this; there was never any discussion about exchange time.  We're the ones that always have to remind her of dates, times, locations, etc. )...someone that NEVER let's ( *lets ) me have the kids earlier unless I give up my time, ( If you get the kids earlier, then we give up our time so it's an even trade.  What does this have to do with their orthodontist appointment? ) NOW it's convenient for you...WOW ( ....what in the blue hell is she talking about?! ) AND I DID TAKE THEM 3X LAST YEAR. ( Nobody is disputing that she took them.  Husband said that he took them to 80% of their orthodontist appointments, which by dedu...

  Husband sent a message back on April 30th letting The Ex know that the kids' orthodontist appointments in June would have to be on a week that she has placement; he asked her to let him know what day and time works best for her so that he can schedule it at their appointment this month.  We checked 2houses daily, and each time it showed that The Ex had not logged in since April 18th. ( It's really nice to see that she cares about what's going on in her children's lives. )   Yesterday, Husband took Son in to an oral surgeon for a consultation on wisdom tooth removal.  The doctor said that Son would require IV sedation, which may not be covered by our insurances and would be approximately $350-400 and would be need to be paid on the same date that Son had his teeth removed.  Husband sent The Ex a message letting her know that Son needed oral surgery, said he scheduled it and put it on the calendar, reminded her that she still owes us nearly $300 for the kids' ...
