just a quick update as braveheart requested, nothing to report really, ex hasn't been in touch either with myself or his son, coming up to the year mark for non contact with his son. my solicitor contacted his solicitor re the order from the court being finalised, in which ex has to place son's bank accounts into mine or son's name because they are all in ex's name at the moment, he should have done this by january 1st and hasn't my solicitor says they just didn't reply to her letter and so was sending another, she thinks that because it is done in court he probably thinks he can get away with being ignorant but says that she will contact him direct, also if he touches the money that is son's she will then take him to court for theft.I believe he is up to his eyeballs in debt, but then again this is what she as done with her ex husbands all three of them, the house isn't sold yet so that is more for him to shell out each month, because he thought that once he kicked us out it would sell more or less the next day, it isn't so he is now having to pay to heat it as it is really cold over here, so he as the extra bills on top of his mortgages that we paid when there, he is sinking money wise and if that is all she wanted shes had it. US we are doing great more or less got our little home sorted now, just the garden needs attention, have planned some trips for me and son this year, and a holiday in august, I say lets live I dont see why son should miss out on life just because his dad is an [censored], still cannot believe that his dad hasn't bothered with him for nearly a year, that year will never be replaced in a childs life, but he has been with skank nearly three years now and that three years will never be replaced with either of us. Watching steelersfan's thread with awe and admiration, she got the bomb and her h leaving more or less the same time as me, she is so further along, but having said that her h didn't rush into a marriage with the village whore.
