I wrote a couple of weeks ago about how the skids treat Dad like sh**.
BM has regularly sent Dad bitchy emails. One of her favorite things to do is to try and make him think that she is hardly able to pay the bills. She works fulltime and receives $1300 in cs for the 2 girls.
The girls are constantly talking about BM's recent purchases, New flat screen, new furniture etc..... Up until last week I have not gotten involved. After her latest email asking for more money, I decided to write her back. Everything I wrote was honest. I told her that we knew how they lived, and that she needed to suck it up because she was not getting any pitty from us....
I expected to get a snotty letter back from her... I did not expect the one I got from the girls. ( we have always gotten along very well ) They called me every name in the book. Told dad that I would never be family and that he was stupid for being with me! I have been more of a mom to the girls then their own! She (Bm) is a crazy lunatic most of the time! The type that always has something to yell about and she does not care where she is when she does.
For once Dad stood up for himself. (A bit late, obviously) He told the girls that he would not tolerate them treating me that way, that I have been nothing but good to them. All they could do was tell him that I was a bitch to their Mom and that they no longer want anything to do with me! (Guess it is ok for her to treat him however she wants in their eyes) They refused to apologies for what they wrote. The conversation between dad and kids ended with him telling them that he loves them, but until they apologies they would not hear from him. He is now heart broken, but says he will stand strong and not give in.....
I hope that with time it all smoothes out.
