They've all lost their damn minds.

  Son was texting Husband a couple of weeks ago about needing his Social Security card.  First he asked Husband to mail it to him (Uhhh....no.  That's not really something you want lost in the mail.  And, I didn't even think of it, but someone else commented, "Why, so they can say that they never got it and accuse you of tampering with it?")  Then Son told Husband to "just take it to court."  Apparently, he thought that Husband was coming to his hearing for his disorderly conduct against me.  Husband wasn't planning on it and asked if I was going; I said no, I thought it was just a plea hearing and there was no reason for us to take off of work for it.

  The day of his hearing, Son was driven to court by The Ex's dad.  After the hearing, he stopped by the house to pick up his Social Security card.  He didn't say anything about the hearing to Husband, but mentioned that he was getting a job up by Tiny City that was going to be either second or third shift and was going to pay him $18.00/hour.  (I repeated this to Husband's brother-in-law who shook his head and said, "No.  I have friends who live up there; they all say there's no work.  There's no way he's making $18 an hour doing anything.")  Someone else had asked Son how court had gone; he simply said, "Good" and left it at that.  I assumed that the court had dismissed the charge, Son was free and clear, and hopefully he learned his lesson.

  My curiosity got the best of me.  I called the court this morning, asked for the status of the case.  She asked for Son's name and date of birth, looked up the case, said he was found guilty and ordered to pay $187.00 within 30 days.  I'm not positive, but I believe that The Ex is paying the ticket for him.  I figured her dad was going to, but maybe it's Ned.  Who knows at this point.

  Aside from that, Ned posted a picture last night of The Ex's daughter and wrote:
"Sent my daughter off to college today.  At least for a week anyway."
  Again, my curiosity got the best of me.  I looked up this camp/summer school/whatever the hell you want to call it.  The cost is TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-FIVE DOLLARS. (I'm having vivid flashbacks of every single time The Ex claimed she doesn't have any money, or saying she can't afford contact lenses for Son, or fighting over whether or not she should have to pay for 33% of Son and Daughter's private school tuition which was much less than this five-day event, etc etc etc.)

  As always, if she were just wasting her own money then I'd wash my hands of it.  But she hasn't paid toward her half of Son or Daughter's medical bills in over a year and a half.  Daughter wants to spend more time here but The Ex claims she doesn't have any money for gas.

  Odds are that Ned is paying for it, but still.  If The Ex's daughter is "his daughter" then he ought to support all of her kids equally.  But of course, he doesn't.  In fact, his profile picture as of right now is him and The Ex's son, and his cover photo is both of The Ex's youngest kids; his son apparently doesn't exist anymore. (Again, having vivid flashbacks to all the times that The Ex accused Husband and I of treating Son and Daughter differently than we treat the two kids we share biologically.)

  *exasperated sigh* .....two more years.  We only have to put up with this bullshit for two more years.
