Week 10: Take a Hike!

[theun4givables]

“Okay, I think I’m getting hungry,” I manage, looking up from my phone. My partner-in-crime looks up from her phone, the twirl of her stylus almost hypnotizing as she lobs a virtual ball at a virtual monster in hopes of capturing it.

Ergh. This is hard to read. I hope things smooth out soon for Bob's sake.

You have such a skill for capturing a scene to its last nuance.

They're likely not going to -- she was in her fake-nice mode back in Nov-Dec so now we're slipping into the part of the cycle where she insists I'm abusive and neglectful. And it's a little sad that I know that this is where this is going.

Thank you. :) I try really hard to sometimes lolol

%*£:/!;++!! She's an Ibis- a bin sucking shit bird. Hugs babygirl. She has NOT a clue. I REALLY could just punch her in the face...

Hug my buddy. And I love you. Lots and lots. <3

[theun4givables]

She really doesn't and I'm waiting for the accusations of neglect and abuse to start happening, because that's pretty much her MO. I would love to see her try to take me to court.

I will! He, of course, caught an ACTUAL cold as of last night and he goes to her place this weekend. This should be fun, hah.

I love you, too, Mom. <3

[rayaso]

Wow! Do you think she could at least try to be a little less difficult?

[theun4givables]

I would love it if she tried to be a less less difficult, really, except that usually means she's about to unleash crazy -- which she's doing, right now.

The cycle is very predictable in a way but there's only so much of it I can take. And I think Bob is growing aware of it, too, even if he doesn't always understand.

We'll see how this weekend goes...

The part about her living with a couple -- and one you hadn't met-- seemed a little strange and made me a little nervous. Like this isn't hard enough for Bob already.

Remember when she was talking about becoming the primary parent and staying home with him? Ahahahaha! That was weird enough then, but now? I sure hope she doesn't infect him with her reluctance to embrace him as her child and not some barely-conforming stranger. :(

[theun4givables]

She claims they needed help making their mortgage and she couldn't really find anything in her price range to rent. Supposedly they're friends of hers. But yeah, it's hard on kiddo and she reaaaally does not get that.

Oh, lord, don't remind me. She's probably gearing up to try and take custody from me because she probably still thinks she can handle it. Okay. Sure.

[beeker121]

Small kids change from day to day in drastic ways, no matter Bob's being autistic, only seeing a child that age on weekends would still have jumps in "oh they do that now?" Oof.

[theun4givables]

Not to mention, Bob's becoming more and more verbal and saying and testing waters in different ways because he's a smart kid. He really is. And she's only ever seeing him every other weekend, so I feel like she doesn't really get who he is on a whole, because she only sees him a handful of days a month.

It's such a pain in my ass to deal with her, I swear to you.
