I know he is still in fog, has been in drug/alcohol induced fog since a young age. This is really just a vent because I know he is just insane.

The 28th was my son's BD (23yrs). EX had been planning a combination BD party for him and ex monster in law at his new house for SUNDAY!!!!!! I said that works great because I had tickets for the "Couriers" gospel group for Sunday, we would have our BD celebration and BBQ on Monday. Well he changed it at the last minute because my 23 year old son said he was going to be camping (because he didnt want to go to EX-H's house)..He has never acknowledged his Dad's GF, cant stand his father.

So, EX changes his BBQ to MOnday!!! 4pm, I was so irritated, but just said we would celebrate at 6:30 pm, So, son feels forced into going to Dad's, everyone eats out of stress, and of course no one is hungry when they came home to my house.


Well, anyway...Ex calls me Sunday afternoon while I am at this peaceful Christian retreat, right before the concert to tell me that since ALOT <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> of time has gone by (yeah, right), maybe we (BF and I) might come to his house for the BBQ.

Let me see, what does the book say.....

Q: How long after you were beaten, raped and abused do you go to that persons house for dinner??????

A: I think never!

I had to see him and ex-MIL at my oldest's college graduation only a week ago and I didnt say a word to him then, doesnt he get the hint?

I guess if I went he could say to the kids "see, even your mom came, we can all be friends"

I told him on the phone, "there would not ever be enough time to go by and nothing had changed" I asked him to not ever ask me again. (he is still abusing drugs, he is nasty to his mother and he is still just an all around jerk by things my children and his brother have said)


Sorry, enough vent..he is just still pushing buttons, fortunately I turned most of those buttons off <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I am so looking forward to my life without him. I have 2 more years of school and I will be financially independent of him. I hope he can hold his addictions under control for just a little longer. He has already be threatening to go back to court to lower the alimony payments because his soon-to-be-wifey is tired of picking up his slack in the bill paying department.

Geez, how insensitive and asinine of him. You did the right thing - I would NOT want to go back to his house either if I were you.

X left his Bible here and after about 2 weeks I gave it back to him. He said I havent read this in about 2 years, why do I need this now. I just said maybe if you had been reading this we wouldnt be in the mess we were in
