My ex is going to be mad I think
| Sat, 09-24-2005 - 1:41pm |
My oldest son and I were out delivering his papers today and we went by the ex's house and saw that my son's cat was outside on the front steps. The ex has been gone since Friday and won't be back until Sunday. I was po'ed that the poor kitty was outside without food or water. My son wanted to bring her to my house for the rest of the weekend. I said fine and we brought her home and fed her. My cats are freaking out of course, but it's going ok. The ex will be livid of course that I did this, but I think he's being selfish letting the poor thing stay outside without leaving her food or water. The last weekend he left her out she ran away for 4 days and my son was devastated, I don't want him to go through that again.

I would have done the same thing.
agreed. There is a certain way to handle it, attacking him because he left the cat out and if she/he ran away it would devistate your son would only make him mad and cause a fight.
I would just say.. oh we were walking and I saw kitty outside. I brought her home and fed her, let me know if you want me to take care of her while your gone, I am sure DS would love it.
Good luck.

I didn't take the cat as a favor to my ex, I did it for my son. My son and I have had a strained relationship since the divorce and I wanted to do something for him to show him that I care about his feelings and want to help him take care of his beloved cat. My ex is just being selfish without realizing it I think. Life for him is all about his new girlfriend.
When he comes back home from a weekend with her he's usually cranky because he has to come back home and I'm usually the first person he lashes out at. So me taking care of my son's cat though minor will give him an excuse to take out his anger that he can't be with his girlfriend the way he wants to.
