All Quiet on the Home Front.
We've heard nothing from The Ex since one month ago when she told Husband he's "the only jerk" who would charge her interest for medical bills that are unpaid for 30 days as our state law allows him to do. Technically, Daughter should have been picked up yesterday for The Ex's summer placement but she's got graduation and birthday parties that she wants to attend here, so The Ex is letting her stay. (On one hand, I feel like this is going to lead to The Ex not bringing Daughter back when she's supposed to and claiming that Husband "switched" weekends with her. On the other hand, I think she'll roll with it because she's tired of always trying to fight us and losing...it doesn't fare well for her narcissistic ego to constantly be reminded that she's wrong.)
While The Ex has disengaged from Husband and me, she's posted some stuff to Facebook that's...different. I mean, she's weird by herself but still...
Apparently her younger daughter is in dance class. The studio took class pictures and posted them online. The Ex shared her daughter's class photo and wrote, "Wish I could have seen you dance🙁... Feel like I miss out on everything you do. Hope you had fun Love Bug ❤!!!" (I'm utterly perplexed by this. She has sole physical and legal custody of this child; her father got deported and is nowhere in the picture. I remember her frequently feeding this sob story to Son & Daughter about missing out on their lives, but how on earth can The Ex feel she misses out on "everything she does" when she's the only parent this little girl has?!)
She shared a memory from Mother's Day 2015 right after she left Boyfriend; it was a picture of Son, Daughter, and their two youngest siblings in bed with their dog. The Ex commented on her own photo, "I wish I had these days back...I miss my older kids" (Son lives literally 1.7 miles away from her. Husband and I live almost 90 miles away from Son, yet we've managed to get together with them six times this year already. If you miss him so bad, then make plans to get together with him.)
Last night, Girlfriend shared a post someone else had made about how it's hard to feel pretty after you've had a baby. The Ex jumped all over this and commented, "What? You are pretty, even with no makeup...stop it. [Son] and you need a real date DAY... It's hard being a mom and looking nice at the same time. [The baby] is really young still, give it time. I'm always here." (So, let's just make sure I understand her "motivational" comments: The Ex told Girlfriend she's pretty right now, claimed she and Son need time alone as if the baby himself is making her feel unattractive, then basically told Girlfriend she doesn't look nice but it's okay because she has a baby, THEN tells Girlfriend she'll feel pretty later even though she already claimed Girlfriend is pretty now, and finally throws in that she's "always there" as if that's supposed to somehow help Girlfriend's self-esteem? Honestly, I'd love to explore the inner workings of her brain because this is just bizarre.)
But in all of this, I think my favorite post was what she shared a week ago. It was one of those quote pictures and it reads:
"I miss the old me.
The happy me.
The smiling me.
The laughing me.
The gone me."
Let's set aside the melodramatic attitude and obvious attention-seeking, so that we can cringe at the fact that the first person to click "like" was New Guy...you know, the one who The Ex had an affair with while she was married to Boyfriend? (I was going to comment that The Ex can't cheat on Ned with New Guy because he and his wife just moved to another state, but I just did some Facebook stalking and apparently, New Guy's wife is staying there while he comes back to move their things so I'm sure The Ex is going to see him before he's gone for good.) But even ignoring all of that grossness, this doesn't seem like something that ought to be posted by a person who's only six weeks into their marriage. She's not happy, laughing, OR smiling? How can Ned not see the red flags here??
And finally, today marks seven weeks and one day since The Ex and Ned got married. Ned's profile picture and cover photo are both from the wedding; The Ex hasn't changed any of her photos and is still using her maiden name.
