My husband and I have been separated. He took off and moved to another state. He says he will take care of us once we move there, yet he has not been paying for anything but half of the childcare for the last 2 years. So I am filing for a divorce this summer.

Anyway, my husband has been leaving me really mean name-calling messages just because I complained him that he is LATE to send me half of a childcare. Mind you he does not want to have a divorce, yet he said I should be able to take care of 3 kids all by myself! Called me all kids of names to put me down.

So I changed my phone number this Friday, which went into effect from Saturday. Now he is leaving me "I am sorry I was wrong" messages to my voicemail at work. Well, it's too late. I don't have to answer my phone at my work. He did not threatened me, but he called me a whore and broke bitch and all kinds of names. I went to a police station in my residential area to report the telephone harrassment, but found out that I went to a wrong one since it was my work phone. I am going to a police station tomorrow on my lunch break to file a police report.

Now, check this.... Now that he found out that my phone is disconnected, he left a message at my work saying, "why didn't you tell me that you needed the money to pay for the phone bill? Call me and tell me how much you need to turn the phone back on." Sure, like I can count on him to pay my phone bills while he does not want to even pay for the half of a childcare??? Oh, I have a phone line with a new number. He will never find it out!!!

I expect more nasty phone calls next week once he figures out that I am not returning his phone calls. I will not speak with him, but will burn a CD of all the nasty messages he left for me so that he understands he is wrong and I will not call him anymore.

Oh, I like the idea of burning the mesages onto a CD and sending him a COPY :-)
