It's All My Husband's Fault

  Girlfriend messaged me on Snapchat on Monday night, asking if she could ask me a question and said she didn't want it getting back to The Ex.  I told her of course; I said that I never talked to The Ex and I certainly wouldn't repeat anything she asked, especially knowing that she didn't want The Ex knowing about it.   Girlfriend replied: "Is grandparent rights a thing in [Our State]? I just got into an argument with her and she brought it up. Shes fucking crazy I swear to god. I dont have an issue with her until she started bad mouthing me to everyone. Shes saying Im brain washing [Son] and that Im keeping [the baby] from her and shit. I dont care if she dont like me but she should still have reaspect. She told me she can get custody of him and I just stopped responding. She got mad we didnt go to [The Ex's son's] game today when she told us at 5:38 and it was at 6:00. I'm not telling [Son] about anything only because hes sick and stressing out as is....

  This post is a couple weeks late, but let's go back to this whole issue with The Ex and/or Ned being investigated for child abuse.   I was really back-and-forth about contacting the social worker.  I didn't want to stir the pot, particularly over something that didn't involve me or Husband at all.  Son and Daughter are the only ones we need to concern ourselves with and they weren't the ones directly involved, so maybe we should just stay out of it.  A friend of mine commented that it might just be best to have faith that God was going to take care of it as He saw fit, The Ex would get what she had coming eventually, and that it might just be best not to insert ourselves in the situation any further.  I was honestly, truly ready to just let it go.   And then, I learned more than I wanted to.   A couple of months ago, The Ex was saying that she "kind of yelled at [Lucifer]."  The gist of it was that this particular incident started whe...

  Happy Mother's Day to all of you beautiful women out there.  Thank you for all the hard work you put into your kids regardless of there being a biological link or not.   We celebrated early yesterday with all four of the kids, plus Girlfriend and our grandbaby.  I figured they'd be busy with The Ex, Girlfriend's mom, and it also being Girlfriend's first ever Mother's Day so we opted to do it a day early.  Son even bought me a present which made me tear up. ( I think Girlfriend made him do it but considering how our relationship was at this time last year, it definitely touches my heart. )   The Ex, on the other hand, is being her crazy narcissistic self.  Daughter said on Friday night that she didn't even know if The Ex was picking her up today.  Daughter had texted her asking what time they were coming for her; The Ex replied by asking what time she'd be in Tourist City on Saturday. ( We were celebrating Mother's Day in Tourist City.  ...

  Ohhhhh, you guys...this has just been one hell of a crappy week so far, but leave it to The Ex to turn it all around and have me laughing.   Husband messaged her back on March 29th, even though we were fully aware that she had not logged into 2houses since February 25th.  Husband wrote that he had picked his first summer week, updated the calendar, and would pick his second summer week at a later date. ( For those of you who don't know, The Ex has primary physical custody during the summer; Husband gets every other weekend, alternating holidays, and two full nonconsecutive weeks. )   Then Husband addressed the real reason he was messaging her: The Ex still wasn't paying toward her half of the kids' medical bills and they were accruing interest as ordered by the court.  Husband didn't want to end up in court seeking a contempt order for her refusal to pay only to have The Ex claim she "didn't know" there was interest being added, she would have p...
