Ex-wife did LOW BLOW

ashica's picture

My mother and I came back from a dinner outting to get out of the house for one Saturday night. I have been having a rough time lately, because my BD won custody over our 4 yr old. (temporary) Who he only did as spite, no relationship with his son what so ever. Its his wife that has always wanted my son--- anyways another story.
Well, filing an appeal and waiting for the next hearing)

Until then, it has been a rough few weeks. My son and I have a remarkable relationship. He will be 5 next month. I haven't slept or ate much. Insomnia has kicked it. I have raised him from day one.. -- oh yeah another story!

My husband had gotten his kids earlier from his ex-wife. Apparently, and I don't know how because it was kept on a low, she found out about it and told their 4 kids. I had came home that night, and didn't even think that they would know. I had a problem with them coming before hand because I wasn't ready to be around kids. Which, I even expressed to my husband prior. I know that sounds selfish and he has a right to see his kids... I just didn't want to be around them. So my mother and I came home later that evening, hoping that they would have been in bed. ( I have guardianship over my mom, and take care of her) His kids rubbed into my face that I wasn't getting son for a long time..

I left the room --- numb and so hurt.. I thought how dare them, but dare his ex-wife even telling young kids that don't understand the pain and the hurt I am going through, and they have the NERVE to slap it in MY face. Ontop of that, their dad was standing right there that said absolutely NOTHING.

I left the room--- and went to my moms room and cried. She held me upset, and pissed off. My husband and the nerve to knock on the door and ask am I okay, my mom let him have it and told him his ex-wife is a bitch, and if she would have seen her or ever saw her that she was going to lay into her for stooping so low. How dare she, how dare of him for not saying anything. He does not know a pain of loosing a child from a mothers point of view. He slammed the door.

Of course I went out to the bedroom, because I was going to get into my car and leave. (purse in the bedroom) He was like so that's it? I said how could you just stand their? How did they find out? He said she found out and Idk how. I haven't told her anything. N you knew, she knew? You didn't for warn me? Did you not talk to your kids?? He said he did in the car and asked them to bring it up that it was a hurtful subject. But I have no control over them if they still bring it up. You said nothing, when your child sat their and rubbed it into my face?

Instead he flips it and says your mom says I have no idea what it is to loose a child. I do know. I had to leave for 2 yrs after my child was born not knowing if I was going to live the next day (my husband is a disable veteran) Now, I don't get to see my kids much and I will do anything in my power to see them. They are strictly on her terms, regardless of an order we have. She takes off with them, and refuses to give me an address or phone number. I don't have what you and your BD have. I have to suck up in order to see my kids. I am jealous that when you do have your son, you have him more than me. I love your son, and it gives me the opportunity to be the father I cannot be to my own children full time. I cannot go for custody over my kids, because I put yours ahead of mine so we can get him back.

(which isn't true, in all reality, because of his health problems, I think he likes that he can give them back because they are MUCH for him and I) If he wanted them, he had and has plenty of opportunity to take them from her.. but still chooses not too. So its an easier excuse then comprehending the real reality)

Now I am more angry. My mom wants to slap her across the face because that was a very cheap shot. I am so numb and hurt. I am tired of him making excuses for her. I do know, when she gets the nerve to text my phone or call my house, I will flip on her shit... I no longer can go with him to meet her to exchange for the kids, because hell would break loose.

I don't understand how people can be so cruel. I have avoided my husband and his kids all weekend long. Made plans and didn't come home until late evenings, or shut myself in my bedroom like I am doing today. They are going home sometime today.

Does that make me a bad person? I hope not..

I know, I waited for him to say anything to them and he did not, and I had to leave immediately (the room of course).

We haven't spoken much in nearly two days.

LJCapp, his exwife is obsessed with me. Since day one, I came into her exhusbands life. She follows me on FB even if I block her and have private settings, she creates different accounts to STALK me. (DEAD SERIOUS)
In the beginning, she would change her facebook pictures that sorta resembled pictures of me. She DYED her HAIR BLONDE. ( I have dirty blonde hair) She has BLACK.. His ex-wife tried for a year to change her outlook to mine.

I tried being her friend in the beginning thinking it would be better on Jon. That went straight to shit real quick, when I realized she was still in love with my husband. ...

Yes, she wants him back and manipulates their kids and himself to get what she wants.

When it comes to his kids, unless I make a big stink he doesn't really discipline them.

For example, bed time is at 9pm at our house. You can lay down and watch a movie til you pass out. Well, we have netflix and he was going to allow them to stay up and watch kids movies all night long. We don't even allow my son to do that. I was like, really? SO when they don't agree to anything and they fight you are getting up with them, not me!

All responsibility goes out the house when he gets his kids. He uses the excuse I don't see them much. But of course when my kid is here he in forces the rules.

My mother n law, keeps track of her stalking me. She has the screen shots. My mother in law couldn't stand her ex-daughter in law. They had a bad history. I am not too worried about it. But I try to stand my ground. Once he leaves in a bit to meet his ex, him and I are going to have a long talk. If no change soon, then I will give him an eye opener that I am not playing about our marriage.

One thing I have learned is that no one loves you like you love yourself. You are the only person who has your own back. Don't ever fear saying something. Dads like this have become passive.

I'm so sorry about your son. I cannot imagine. I literally don't know how I would handle it. You are very strong and I hope the appeal goes well.

I definitely would say something directly to his kids. Young or not, clueless or not, they won't KNOW what pain they cause unless someone ANYONE points it out to the little shits.

As far as your husband? OMG - piss me off ROYALLY. Sometime down the road, I would say to him, "How would YOU feel if BS came and made fun of you because you didn't have your kids 100% of the time? How would YOU feel if I just stood there like a bump on the log and didn't say BOO to him or make him understand that was hurtful?"

He's also an idiot to try to pick on your mother when she - UNLIKE HIM - got upset on your behalf. Spin and deflect so daddy doesn't have to admit his parenting failures.

Omg, what a terrible and ugly story! Uh, my heart just goes to you! I am so sorry for what you are going through! I hope you and your son are reunited ASAP, and in the meantime tell your ex he is either afraid to stand for you or stand up to you! It is your home too, you do not need or deserve to take crap from his kids, bad enough he did not cancel visit due to hurt feelings and or tensions in your home at that minute but add insult to injury, he let kids walk on you! No good! You have a voice use it! Tell them "You are very rude and disrespectful, you are kids you do not know what you are talking about! Your mother is saying things, but she was not there either and knows nothing as well! Bring it up again your rude and disrespectful comments will be met with consequences ie loss of gadgets while you sit and write letters of apology" I am glad your mom is there with you! That is a blessing that she is in the home to hold and hug and defend and help! xoxo Take Care!

^^^^Totally agree! A lot of stuff is online especially if it involves divorced parties rather than domestic partenerships, it is that way in my city as well. Anyway dtzyblnd is right on the money about his award nomination, I second it! Peach be with you

Your DH is a fucking asshole. So are his kids. YOU say something next time. You tell them to shut their little traps, you don't allow disrespect from ANY CHILD, much less kids that are not yours.

And frankly, the BM could have found out about your situation online. I have my BM and her H's court dockets saved as bookmarks on my computer, so I know EVERYTHING.

Also. look at my adorable picture!! Thats my kitten Penny. How can you not smile at that? SEE?! I told you, you would smile!

I'd bet money hubs did it.

Mine used to tell BM and miniwife everything, even things of an intimate nature. I found out a couple of years ago he's still doing it. Still telling SD things that should only stay between husband and wife. I guard information zealously. Everything is classified except what's for dinner. He bought himself a permanent box seat far outside the information loop. I keep him in the dark and feed him bullshit e ery possible way I can.
Sorry this happened to you. (((Hugs))). That would just rip my heart out. I hope you get your little one back soon.

Thanks ladies. Smile

We talked last night about everything. He told me that his exwife was unsure and said I don't think she did. But he said himself he told the kids, bc they asked and he told them not to bring it up. But still, it was very ignorant and hurtful.

I let him have it about his ex-wife and how much he bends to her every need. My mom even said something to him because she felt like it should come from an outsider. If that makes sense?

We are doing a little bit better. As for the ex, I am off social media like fb/myspace etc. I told him she better not call me for any reason or ask if I would do any favors because the answer is NO.

I'll I can wish is that he changes, if not figure out whats best for me. Until then, I love him enough to put up with his bullshit and vent away on this with yalls support. .. it helps so much Smile
