when one's x is a total looney tunes?
I purposely do not have an attorney on retainer to keep my costs down.
So PsychoBoy has been on the rampage since the big to-do at the beginning of June. He changes his tune about what is D4's schedule, he just usurps my time w/S17 under the pretense that they are picking up S17's vehicle- then spends the next 3.5 hours running other errands he could have done on his own time. Last week he was not interested in taking D4 to her summer program as it does not start until 9:30, he's not going to get to work until 10. Suddenly today he's determined that he is going to take her to school. The spin on it is quite amazing. The reality is he wanted to take my weekend last weekend because some contingent of his brother's family appeared without any forewarning. Psychoboy did not ask me for time with D4 or S17, he just called S17. S17 turned him down for the time specified. later, he tried to go over there but they were off to the casino. So Sun I get this rant of a phone message. I ignore it.
Today he's carrying on about how I ruined his Mother's birthday. Excuse me? Her birthday was the 19th and PB had the kids the 18th and they had cake and all at that time. The kids told me. Not once did he ask me for time for that weekend for that purpose. So now this is retaliation for not telling S17 he had to go to his dad's to see the mystery guests. And get this-he has the next 3 weekends in a row with the kids. It isn't like he doesn't have any other time to plan these family things. His parents live with him, my kids see them all the time. But to hear PB's spin you'd think I was the wicked witch preventing them from having any relationship with our kids.
Sigh, so now I await the next legal hassle because he'll have to petition the court to try to change D4's schedule yet again. We just did this in Nov 07, and that stipulation is now part of the problem as it does not address summer activities or what happens when there is no school. The decree is supposed to still be in place on all other issues. But PB chooses to spin this new stipulation as the only authority, flat out said the other paper is worthless. Uh, no, the stip is for one paragraph only.
Ah well, just finally had to vent this somewhere. I was really trying to just ignore him.

You poor thing. I feel like we need to find you a big fort - with a concierge on duty 24 hours to deal with him. OMG.
But you are clearly handling it better than most - and one of the things that made me chuckle - is that you must have ruined the day of him and OW? Because listening to him rant over the same stuff couldn't exactly be pleasant!
I really think that one day this will be less important to him and that he will back down a bit.
All I can add to this is ((((hugs!!!))))
I can only imagine the stress PB is still trying to stir up. What sucks is that we as parents can't just dismiss and cut the ex out of our lives. To have to get along with them for our kids- it is the hardest thing.
TAZ, CP, PsychoBoy and so many other incredibly insane exes. Mine is more or less on the clueless/lazy side. I'm sorry you are having to deal with his crap AGAIN. I hope you are feeling better today..
