I can't wait for all the drama in my life to end... the newest chapter has to do with irish... he is in the middle of trying to get divorced and she is in the middle of trying to screw him in anyway possible... which is ironic I guess because she is the one who filled for divorce... I guess in many ways I just don't get it... maybe that’s why I have never been married... and why I am still on speaking terms with all of my Xs... But I guess what I don't get more than anything is what she is doing to her kids... Before they finished high school she got knocked up... so unlike any other boy of that age that I know, he goes out and joins the military and provides for her for the next 10 years.... then things go down hill.... he offers to continue to give her his entire paycheck while they ship him off to Iraq and she instead files for divorce right before his deployment... so now a year later he comes back and she won't let him see his kids.... Why do you ask???... well lets see her reasons consist of things like.... Respondent admitted that he liked the color pink...... Respondent insisted that the 6-year-old boy ate the kid’s meal pancake that he ordered.... Respondent is dating me..... Ahhh now you see I think that is where the problem lies... Although she has firmly stated that it has nothing to do with her personal feelings about him it all has to do with the well fare of the children.... When I was younger my parents divorced, as I know hers did and so did many of my friends.... I remember in high school how one of the few conversations that Cynthia had with me consisted of both of us bemoaning the fact that we only had one real parent left.... I used to be so envious of those people who still had both their parents after the divorce... and know I am watching while she is trying her dammedest to take away her children's father all because she is throwing a tantrum... I really don't know how she can do that to her kids.... "Mommy why doesn't daddy get to see us?"... "Well dear I wanted to punish daddy for having a girlfriend." .... She is stating that I will abuse her kids.... ME??!!! of all the people in the world the idea of me abusing kids is the stupidest one I've heard yet.... As it was the court was only giving him one week out of the year to see his boys and she is doing everything in her power to take that away.... she won't even have a conversation with him.... he went to a baseball game and tried to say hello to her and she threatened him with harassment charges.... I really don't understand... I guess revenge is more important then your children growing up without holes in them.... I guess that if someone takes care of you for 10 years you are supposed to spit on them and try to ruin them completely... I don't get it.... At least I am still on speaking terms with all of my Xs... and whether I like them or not the fathers of my children have never been banned from them because I am throwing a fit... I think I would be furious with my parents if they had ever tried to cut the other out of my life.... It hurt badly enough to know that a parent could leave but to know that one parent was banned from my life because the other was throwing a childish fit... I don't think I would ever speak to them again... and it is not like they won't know.... irish has a copy of all the divorce records.. so if she tries to tell them that he just didn't care or that she doesn't know why he left then they will find out that she is a liar as well.... so either they will grow up knowing that their mother is psycho and childish or they with find out when they are older that she thought it better to hurt them and get back at someone else then to make sure that they came first.... I really don't envy her that conversation.... "You mean I could have gotten to know my dad? That he fought for me? that he cared?".... "But honey you don't understand I just wanted to get back at him for moving on after I divorced him and make sure that the lawyer bill were so high it financially ruined him. I'm sure you understand. It was worth trading my revenge for your mental health."....
Ugh I just don't get how people can put their children in the middle....
