I honestly think he is messing with me * Update- I snapped

I told DH earlier this week that I think SS is f*%cking with me. He asked why and I went on to list my reasons: Every day he is here, he does something he knows he shouldn't be doing, or something that is just common sense not to do. Lately he is always with his gf (fantastic- go do things!) or working sometimes, so most of the time he is coming home for 20 minutes and doing this crap. He is almost 17 and a smart kid book-wise, and he knows better than to do all of these. 

A real dumpster fire of a week

We started off the skid week on Mon. with DH getting a text from SD13's principal before skids even got here saying SD had made suicidal statements at school. SD usually walks home, but DH had to go get her and put the "safety plan" into place that was developed with the therapist. He had to be in the same room as SD for 12hrs, which means they both slept in the living room. Apparently SD had issues with friends, again, and DH looked through her texts to discover that SD was the one who uneccessarily escalated the situation.

May have counted our chickens too fast

So DH filed for COC, and although expectations were set ground-level low, DH was told by the Clerk of Courts that they would let him know when the paperwork was filed and he could pick it up and deliver it to the Sheriff's office, who would serve Crazy. DH didn't hear anything all week, then on Sat. he got a letter in the mail for a 15 min "scheduling conference" next Mon, March 6th, with zero details. Crazy got the same letter and told the kids about it.

DH filed for Contempt of Court!

FINALLY!! Now, yes we completely understand that zero consequences will probably result from this and we aren't expecting anything, but we feel like we can't just sit and do nothing anymore. Crazy has completely stopped following the Communication guidelines in the CO, sends daily messages that are demanding, aggressive, harrassing, and she criticizes almost everything we do.

Starting the week off with PAS and lots of Crazy

Skids came yesterday, but during the day (and all wknd really) DH and Crazy were arguing back and forth on OFW about Dr. appt's for SD13. There are SO many- literally 1-2/week, and managing them is insane. When DH says he will see what day works for him to schedule an appt, Crazy replies with "Use vacation to take your daughter to her appts!!! You don't even care about her appts!".  DH is in manufacturing- he has to find someone to work for him either way, and normal people try to schedule appt's so they don't have to use vacation! And he can, he just has to switch with people. 

ROFR Stress

In August/Sept, DH and I took a 2 wk trip. We have week on/week off custody, and the CO states that if we need to have someone watch skids for 5+ days, we have to offer Crazy ROFR during the school year ONLY- that doesn't apply to summer. Of course that trip fell the first week of school, and Crazy said she wanted them. DH insisted on making it a "switch", rather than just offering her skids and her taking or leaving it. The CO says nothing about us making up the time- you must simply give the other parent the first choice to take skids during that time.

This week's fresh hell

Skids came yesterday and as is apparently inevitable, it was an immediate shit show. Every single week, it's a f'ng debacle and I am so over it. I actually made dinner plans with friends so I could prolong seeing skids. 

I didn't get out the door fast enough so saw SD13 after she got home from school- she was in a good mood, said she was good and nothing was new, and I left.
