Yesterday I sent my ex an e-mail slamming him for blowing off the kids for his 2 week summer vacation with them. About 6 weeks ago I sent him an e-mail regarding vacation. He told me his company was shutting down the week of the 4th so he would like them that week. His regular weekend visitation was the weekend of July 1st so he thought he would just keep them all week. Well, the problem is the 4th of July is MY scheduled holiday. It is not my fault it fell in the middle of the week. (One of his scheduled holidays is Halloween!)
Anyway, about 2 weeks prior to the 4th he asks me about that week. I had been waiting to find out when my parents were having their 4th of July bash. It turns out they had it on the 1st (the kids blew him off for a change and came with us). So, I told him I would bring them over in the afternoon of the 4th and he could have them the rest of the week. He told me “that won’t work”. I asked him what he meant and he said “nevermind”.
On June 29th I found out he was going to S. Africa from July 3-13th to visit his wife. He did the same thing last year while he shipped the kids to AR to visit his family for 2 weeks. He has also blown them off for the past 2 February vacations (his vacations with them per our divorce decree). My DD(16) is extremely upset about this. My son(12) is trying to be diplomatic about the whole thing saying he doesn’t get to spend much time with his new wife. HELLO-he spends even less time with his own children! It was his choice to marry someone from another country.
And, get this. He told the kids I would not let him have them for the 2 weeks! He is such a jerk! He blows them off, leaves me to console them, then turns around and blames the whole thing on me. ARGH !!!

You're right... he'll regret it one day.
It's good to see you... but I wish that things were going better.
