I don't know why I'm surprised.

  Not quite a month ago, we found out that The Ex had insurance available through her employer; child support said they would send a letter stating she was required to cover Son and Daughter.  We haven't heard anything since then, so I called our dentist's office today and asked if they could check to see if The Ex had coverage or not.

  I just found out that The Ex has had insurance since July 1st, 2018.

  She never told us, never gave us a card, absolutely nothing.  She has herself, her two youngest kids, and Daughter covered.

  Son was seventeen (still a minor) when The Ex got this coverage, but she apparently didn't feel it was necessary to cover him.  I have no idea why she wouldn't; it's not like it would cost more.  I think this will change, though.  Looking over the paperwork the office sent to me, it lists the "child coverage age" as 26.  Son is only 18.  If child support sent what they were supposed to, Son might automatically be covered next year.

  I'm having flashbacks to all the other times she put up a fight over insurance.  Over the last 8 years, she has:  refused to provide a card to Husband, accused Husband of "snooping around" at her work when she got caught lying about how many cards she had, scratched Boyfriend's name off the card to hide that she had gotten married, got fired and lost her insurance coverage and didn't tell us even though we told her the kids were going to the dentist, didn't get coverage for Son and blamed Husband for not giving her a birth certificate that he didn't have, and accused me of calling her insurance and impersonating her in order to access "confidential information."

  I honestly don't know why everything has to be a fight, especially for something as simple as getting insurance for your kids.  What a miserable way to live.

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...
