*eye roll*
Husband woke up to this message from Son:
"Hey [Husband's first name], just wondering how everythings been going. (Um...fine.) How is the dog doing? (Also fine.) Just figured i would try starting conversation even though we both know you won't. (About a month ago, Son drove all the way here to pick up his friend, who also happens to be our neighbor. A few days later, he dropped the kid off. Son never said hi, never told us he was coming, didn't even drive by our house. But now, he's going to "try starting conversation even though he knows Husband won't"? Is this supposed to be a joke???) I would have started off with hey Dad, but [Girlfriend's] dad has treated me more like a son more than you ever have. (Why, because he lets you drive his car and live in his house? Wow, we should all aspire to have such great parenting skills.) He deserves to be called Dad. (Son must have thought this would offend Husband. I call Husband's dad "Dad," Husband calls my dad by his first name. It's a preference.) I feel like I actually have a family now. People who actually care how i feel and where im going in the future. (Ohhh boy, here we go again.) He actually talks to me and makes me feel like I belong at home. (Son conveniently forgets how often we talked to him, how frequently we told him we loved him and were proud of him, how many times we told our family and friends what was going on in his life. But that's all irrelevant, because Son decided so.) Just wanted to thank you for getting me here to my family. (I don't understand this. Husband didn't "get" him anywhere.) I hope you have a good labor day weekend" (I hope you enjoy your Keyboard Warrior passive-aggressiveness.)
I'm honestly wondering if The Ex wrote this for him. All of the "dad" references point to her. (She told the kids that Boyfriend was their "stepdad/new daddy"; New Guy called himself Daughter's stepdad; The Ex programmed Ned's number into Son's phone as "Daddy Ned" and told people she was going to save it as "My Real Daddy.") In addition to that, the format of "I'm going to attack you throughout the entire message, and then close it with well wishes" sounds like her also. Oh, and calling Husband by his first name; she used to encourage the kids to do that when they were younger. And on top of all that, I know Son was at The Ex's (Ned's) house when he sent the message.
Husband hasn't decided if he's going to reply to it. I mean, what do you even say to that? "Sorry you listen to your mom's bullshit and decided that our life for the past 9 years didn't actually happen the way that 5 other people remember it; enjoy destroying your life because you think you know everything and your mom acts like your own personal cheerleader in everything, but only as long as it's what she wants, and it's totally f*cked you up as a human being"??
*sigh*
