It's All My Husband's Fault

   I feel like I've been telling you guys forever that we're going to take The Ex back to court for contempt.  That day has finally come.  A few weeks back I finalized the affidavit I'd already had drafted, Husband got it notarized, I printed all the receipts for the kids' medical bills, I printed multiple messages from 2houses showing that Husband not only provided the receipts but also multiple reminders, made copies of everything, drove to our county courthouse, and filed.   We'd been in contact with a process server company in our state but I figured for grins, I'd see what the sheriff in The Ex's county would charge for service.  I called their office and spoke to a lady who was very nice but not really giving me good answers.  She explained that their office "tries to avoid serving the person at their place of employment."  I told her that I don't know when The Ex would be home, but I did know what her work hours were so that was going to...

  While The Ex was on Vacation #4 this year, she shared something on Facebook that didn't really make a whole lot of sense.  After some thinking it over, I think that I may have been the reason that she shared the post and captioned it the way that she had.   Before I get too far into this, let's go all the way back to 2011.  We had made Facebook profiles for both Son and Daughter so they could add their friends.  The Ex was claiming that she "couldn't" email Husband or respond to his emails because she "didn't have internet," so I wasn't worried about her spying on us using Facebook.  I mean, if you can't get online then you can't see anything...right?   Wrong.   One day, The Ex popped up in the "People You May Know" section on Facebook.  So...she created a Facebook profile without having internet??  Or a more logical explanation: The Ex was lying about having internet access just to avoid written communication with Husband.  S...

Vacation 1   Back in June, The Ex had planned an out-of-state trip with Ned, her kids, and Daughter.  They were gone for at least 3-4 days; The Ex then told Daughter she didn't want her going out-of-state with us because she was "scared" that Daughter was going to catch COVID. Vacation 2   We had a graduation party for Daughter in August; I told her she could invite The Ex's family if she wanted to, which she did.  The Ex told her that they weren't coming because a)they were going whitewater rafting that weekend and b)there were too many people attending the party and that Daughter was going to catch COVID. Vacation 3   In September, The Ex and Ned had planned a weekend vacation for just the two of them; they were not bringing The Ex's kids or Lucifer. ( Lucifer is going to be the topic of my second post after this one; I'm going to highlight Vacation 4 in the next post. )  She told Daughter that she wanted her to drive herself up to Tiny City and watc...
