I forgot how long she's been playing these mind games...
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 that they wouldn't have contacted The Ex about taking Son camping with them. I called the friend's dad later that night and asked him about this. He told me that The Ex was correct in saying he had never "talked" to her but he did leave her a voicemail and was pretty sure he had also sent her a text message asking if Son could go with them; The Ex never responded to him. I told him that I would text him both The Ex & Boyfriend's cell numbers so that he could try to reach them again. This was on Sunday night.
Monday morning, I took the kids to school. On the way there, Daughter said that over the weekend, The Ex had been trying to convince Son to come to her house rather than go camping. Daughter said that The Ex told Son if he went camping, he was going to miss out on watching "Fast & Furious 6" at the theater with them. (Okay, so she definitely knew about the camping trip...why hasn't she given anyone an answer about whether or not Son can go?)
Tuesday afternoon, Husband emailed The Ex about Son going camping. He said that Son had gone with this family for the past few years and would like to go again; Husband said that the friend's dad had asked her about this over a month ago and she never got back to him.
Wednesday rolled around; the friend's dad told me that he had left two voicemails for The Ex that week and she hadn't responded about Son going camping with them so he was going to assume that Son was not going. Later that evening, The Ex called Husband to talk to Son and asked him to call me and let Daughter call her back off my phone...instead of just calling me directly. But whatever, that's not the point of this blog post.
Friday morning, we pulled up to the school and Son asked me if he was going camping or not. I said I didn't know, the friend's dad kept trying to reach The Ex and she wasn't responding to his messages or to Husband's email. Son asked me if he could call The Ex and ask her himself. First I called the friend's dad to make sure it was still okay; he said yes. I gave Son my phone, he called The Ex, her phone rang twice and went directly to voicemail. (She declined the call because she thought it was me calling.) Son called her again and she answered. This is a verbatim transcript of that conversation:
The Ex: Hello?
Son: Hello?
The Ex: Hello?
Son: Hello?
The Ex: Hi?
Son: Hi. Uh, wait...is this um, Mom? [The Ex]?
The Ex: Mmhmm.
Son: Oh, okay. Um, can I go to [friend]...can I go with [friend] up to [camping area]?
The Ex: Yes honey, 'cause Dad never called me.
Son: Oh. Did you like, get a new number?
The Ex: Mmm...this is the same one.
Son: Well I don't know. Okay.
The Ex: Love you.
Son: Love you.
The Ex: Bye.
Son: Bye.
So not only did she ignore multiple attempts to reach her via voicemail, text, and email; not only did she refuse to communicate with another parent about her own child; not only did she lie about whether or not she had even been contacted. Even after doing all of this, she still had the balls to say that this was Husband's fault because he didn't call her about something that had nothing to do with him.
