Wow, thanks for thinking of me...

SO much to say...

I can't remember what I last posted really..
My divorce was final on 10/27, the day after Xhs birthday. He did not go to court. He denied paternity of our 5 yo son and testing was scheduled for November 23rd. DS and I went, Xh called to reschedule because he had no gas money. His is rescheduled for Dec 21. The parental rights hearing is Feb 17th.

I had my last court date with OW on November 17th, to which she pled guilty to two counts of violating a protection order. She got 30 days of jail time, suspended. She got off the hook because the judge knows her from her DHS child protection case and if she went to jail she would loose her job, and hurt her ability to possibly get her kids back. Poor lady...NOT!

XH has visitation at my discretion until the hearing. He has only called to harass me for money and his 'things' back. I have nothing of his, and if I do, he isn't getting it. The past few days he has been calling my boyfriend (yep, ending up dating Jacob)...and leaving messages saying that he has every right to call me and he wants to see his kids and if Jacob keeps them from him he will be sorry. Of course, Jacob doesn't make ANY decisions about the kids, I DO! XH was working at VIP, and quit. Supposedly he will start a new job on Monday at a door company making $12 an hour...but "Danielle, don't tell the state, because I don't want them taking child support" Yea, Okay Adam...I umm will. How does he really think that he shouldn't pay for the support of his kids? $72 a week for two kids...give me a break!! He is still playing games with the OW. They fight, he calls and leaves me a voice mail saying she cut him with her keys in the head, wahh wahh. Then he says he wants to marry her. Have fun bud. It's hard to realize that this is the man I married, because it isn't! I still think about the 'what could have been' and every time I see XH I realize that COULD HAVE are the key words.. He isn't anyone I would want to spend an hour with anymore.

I am still in school. I have a break right now until Jan 17th actually, which is nice. I got all B's last semester, which for me isn't great, and my teacher knew it. Under the circumstances, I was impressed though <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We just moved to a new house, much bigger, and less rent. XH does not know where exactly we moved. Per the divorce order I have to tell him of my location when I move...but for now I just said in town and told him the town. I don't need a stalker.

The kids are doing well. DS5 just had a birthday, and is ON TARGET academically at school. THat is a big big improvement from a year ago. He is still emotionally behind, but I am okay with that. He is improving...and we work on that all the time.
DD2 is awesome. She is cute as a button, and has such a Mom attitude it cracks me up.

I am dating... It is great. DS5 just got signed up for ice skating lessons that Jacobs sister teaches and loves it. His family loves the kids and I, and all seems to be going really well. The kids are getting along with him, and understand that he is my friend. He treats me amazing. One night, I was just falling apart because Hailey was crying for Daddy. Jacob went in her room and told me to go upstairs because I was making it worse (I really was). He read her a book and she went to sleep. I was beside myself. He comes here for dinner a few nights a week is really a special guy.

I went to get my mail that I had placed on hold at the post office today, and I had to show ID. I showed the post man my old license as my new one hasn't come in the mail yet. His response was 'WOW you have lost weight, I mean really lost weight' that was my ego boost of the day. It came after a voice mail saying 'how would you like it if I got the kids every other weekend? You wouldn't like that much would you? Now give me the computer back.' from my XH

Thank you for thinking of me....
Danielle

glad to hear you're well. see I told ya all along...

when I got d'd, I jokingly lost weight too...my patients noticed I'd lost a little...when they'd ask, saying "wow peach..you've lost a little bit of weight..." I'd reply, "I lost about 190 lbs!" They freaked out! I said, no , Just got divorced...he weighs about that.

I would hesitate in letting the kids around new bf...life has been really hard this year on them...slowly introduce them. When kids cry for dad, don't make a substitute instantly appear for him. I learned this...my son would cry for me, and my xh would have ow/w come in room at night. Made ds angrier than ever at ow/w.

You're doing awesome! congrats on the good grades.

And glad to see that you're away from adam's crud. he is not still at rock bottom...my xh keeps bouncing btw. A bouncing wayward ball of crud.\

My xh and ow/w are indeed separated...divorcing as I hear it...but it is far too late. and not something I wish pursuing at all...

I am supposed to be at a formal right now but instead worked almost 11 hours today (great overtime <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />..and exhausted. Ds and I are home, going to bake xmas cookies again, and do some fun xmas stuff...tomorrow we're off to GA aquarium!

If you want to ever vacation down south, come see us!

You need time to heal now. It has been such a hard year for you...all of you. Stay dark. Adam is not done with the craziness I fear. He and ow are getting that final dose of reality right now. I am proud you took her to court and she was handed yet another record on her already bad reputation legally.

so she cut him with keys? wow. what a wonderful life! I know...my xh has a broken toe courtesy of his lovely adulteress wife, family values.

do we miss them ...??? heck no.

I miss only having ds 100 percent of the time...but my xh is making that part easier too...I am documenting all his instabilities and ow/s also in case they reconcile for the stupidest and 1 millionth time.

wishing you and your little ones a loving, peaceful, and wonderful family holiday together. God loves all of you! and you have a wonderful new year!


me:37 BS; s:7; xh:38; OW:26;eloped w/OW 1 wk after D: 12/29/03. OC born 3/17/04. Happy! Blessed to be the mother of a wonderful son..great profession..Life's good!
