Here I am again, venting about my ex-husband's outrageous behavior! When will it ever stop making me angry? He'll never change, but I have to!

What SHOULD have been a simple exchange of information with him turned into him lecturing me, (yet again), giving me trouble getting information I need to take care of the kids (yet again), and me getting upset about it (yet again).

Kid needed to go to the dermatologist, they are carried on his company insurance, card had expired, I emailed (several days ahead) a request for a new card to take to the dr. appt. This should have been a very simple thing. BUT NO!!!!!!!!!! He had to take the opportunity to delay getting it to me until 4 hours before the appt. as well as give me a few rude lectures on what to do and how to do it. I'm so enraged. He never quits! But I didn't respond to his rant, just told him what my intentions were and to please give me the card.

I take excellent care of our kids and keep myself far better informed of any potential medical issue with them than he does, yet he never respects me or my judgment. I'm so tired of this control freak!

Breathing deeply,
Cupcake

Thank you for reading, I feel better even after just typing this out. Nobody else in the world understands except you women who have walked this walk before me. Outcome: I got the card, kid got the medicine she needed. I got mad, I got better.

Where the HECK is that Karma van? I need it to come do a quick hit-and-run. Nothing ever happens to him! I'm tired of feeling so whiny about how unfair life is.
Bleah!

Good! I know sometimes, it is REALLY hard to ignore the snide comments and the lectures. Whenever there's something I have to talk to my ex about (insurance, medical issues, etc), I always try to remind myself I am NOT going to react to anything he says. So good for you for just getting the card! It's hard to understand why these ex's behave the way that they do.




Follow me to my partner in the siggy exchange....

There will come a day, a day to look forward to. I had my day. It was FANTASTIC! That day is the day you can say, "I don't *have* to listen to you any more or ever again." My yds was 17yo and moving out of his dad's house. X was being verbally abusive and tried to make me listen to him chastise me. HA! I was sitting in my car with the door open. I just looked at him, told him that, closed my car door, and drove away. He was trying to tell me that I DID have to listen to him when I closed my car door. LOL My yds will be 18yo on August 1st. I can't wait!!!

I'm so glad I read your post...that karma van thing was just the chuckle I needed after a particularly bad couple of weeks.

It's so good to see that we can still have a sense of humor! Hope you don't have to suffer through any more run-ins with Mr. Charming again! :)

BTW, um, can I borrow the keys to the van now?
