It's All My Husband's Fault

  Daughter has a volleyball tournament this weekend.  The tournament is about 30-40 minutes from The Ex's house; since it's her weekend, she's going to pick Daughter up from the tournament.  Since the team rode a bus to the tournament and will be riding it back home, The Ex needs to sign a form indicating that she will be transporting Daughter after the tournament and that she waives any liability against Daughter's school for transportation.   Daughter texted me at 6:16am: "I forgot the form in the car. Will you write one up or something and email it to me. So I can email it to mom"   Okay, so I have two things to say about this.  The first is: if I can write up a release form and the coach would accept that, can't The Ex write one up herself?  The answer is that she's too lazy and/or stupid to do it.  The second is: why would I have to email this to Daughter and have her forward it to The Ex, instead of just emailing it directly to The Ex?...

  Someone recently uploaded a picture of The Ex at a campsite.  Thanks to a comment left some time back by one of my followers ( Thanks a lot, Arsinoe 😉), one thing popped straight into my head:

  You.  Guys.   The other night, The Ex shared a post.  It wasn't supposed to be humorous whatsoever, but it is quite possibly the funniest thing she's ever posted in her entire life.   It was a picture that read: "2 things ADULTS should take more serious: Who we marry & who we create our children with!?"   I was laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe and Husband was looking at me like I'd lost my damn mind.  By the time I calmed down enough to show it to him, I started laughing again.  Husband stared at the screen, smacked his lips and said, "...okay then."   The Ex honestly thinks she's going to give marriage and/or parenting advice to anyone , ever ?  She really, truly is completely unaware of who she actually is as a person.

  Daughter got dropped off last night.  As she was sitting down with me and Husband to watch a movie, she said that The Ex "might have stomach cancer."  The statement itself had me taken aback and I blurted out, "...what?!"  Daughter repeated that The Ex might have stomach cancer.  I said, "What do you mean, 'She MIGHT have stomach cancer'?"   Daughter said that The Ex has been going to the doctor; she said that The Ex went in for a colonoscopy and that didn't come up with results, and said that The Ex had gone to the doctor again after that.  I told Daughter that didn't make any sense and asked why she had a colonoscopy done.  Daughter seemed to be getting kind of defensive so I explained that I was just trying to understand; I said there probably was something going on with The Ex and the doctor was trying to diagnose it, but the reason I was questioning it is because a doctor doesn't use a colonoscopy to diagnose stomach cancer. ...

  I had blogged about 2.5 weeks ago and said how The Ex was sharing quote pictures on Facebook which were just ridiculous.  Since then she's continued to the point of absurdity, often sharing things that are completely contradictory to her own behavior and lifestyle.  I've noted that this was the same behavior she exhibited in the weeks leading up to/following when she had left Boyfriend.  The "self-empowerment, independent, working-on-myself" posts were quite prevalent back then; now they're back with a vengeance.   The Ex recently shared a picture with the same quote she had shared earlier which read: "Divorce is ok.  Breaking up is ok. Starting over is ok.  Moving on is ok.  Saying no is ok.  Being alone is ok. What is not ok is staying somewhere where you aren't happy, valued, or appreciated, that's not ok."   Son was on Facebook and commented, "What's this about?"  The Ex's nephew liked Son's comment.  Then, one of ...

  I had previously mentioned but never blogged about this.  I came across an old word file that I used to use to document everything that happened with The Ex; I created a new file for each year as it occurred.  This particular incident was from 2013.   Son wanted to go camping with his friend & the friend's family over Memorial Day weekend, which happened to be The Ex's holiday.  I gave The Ex's phone number to the friend's dad so that he could call her directly and ask if Son could go with them.  The Ex had placement the weekend before Memorial Day so when we picked the kids up, Son mentioned something about coming back from The Ex's next weekend; I asked him if he wasn't going with his friend.  Son replied, "Mom said she never talked to [friend's dad.]  She even showed me her phone.  He never called her."   I thought that was weird because this particular kid didn't have many friends other than Son, so it was strange to me tha...

  Daughter messaged me last Wednesday evening.  This was our conversation: Daughter:  [Daughter's friend] want to know if I can go to her house Friday Me:  For how long? Daughter:  I think she wants me to stay over. I told her I had my party the next day. Daughter:  I'm also not going home ( Back to The Ex's ) on Monday. Daughter:  I'll tell you the long story/ fight I had with mom. Me:  Oh geez 🙄 Daughter:  Yupp. Daughter:  She is VERY mad. Me:  Is it was somehow Dad's/my fault? 😂😂 Daughter:  Kinda.  She was saying is someone bringing you back I told he nope. Daughter:  Her* Me:  Um.. transportation is her responsibility.  That's why she doesn't pay child support.  Who else is supposed to bring you back, other than her? Me:  Although I heard she's telling people that Dad is taking her back to court for child support, which is completely untrue.  ( I'm sure you know by now that I can't st...
