Trying not to count my chickens!

[Upside]

Hi glam, Purr and na-
I had a bit of a rough day yesterday. My XH and his OW-W sent me ridiculously insulting emails. This started because they were complaining that my S16 & D15 are too busy and putting their activities before family. Now granted, this time of year their sports schedule is crazy but most of that is just their high school team which they are obligated to do if they want to play their sport in college (which they do)...and if they have any chance to get a scholorship (which my XH has pretty much said he won't pay for their college). I had just sent them an email stating that their complaining about the kids schedule is just putting more pressure on them and that we need to support them. Whoa...did I get blasted because I wrote this...

In my opinion, rather than try to support our D, I think you and XXX are putting more pressure (emotional pressure she does not need) on her by telling her she is neglecting (your portion of) her family for sports.

Both of them bashed me on everything and anything they could find...the OW-W actually wrote this...

I haven't left this family to go find out if I really want to be a part of this family because I already know the answer to that question and I hope that my actions prove it.

I am even being bashed for my H's actions.

and she wrote...

I am blessed that I have a my kids and my husband, that we have a good life together and that we are able to enjoy what we have and that we are all healthy

And...

Why do you feel the need to never ever say anything nice about me?

And...

You don't like me and you won't ever like me and so you will always try to insult me whenever you can. If it makes you feel better then all I have to say is that at least it gives you something to do. It doesn't seem like you have a whole lot to do with your time

My XH told me that the only thing I am teaching my kids about is sports and shopping. He said that I am a "sad person" and that I am passing this on to my kids.

They need to be more grounded and you need to start doing your part.

This is just the tip of the iceburg of what they wrote and what they have done to me for years. These people are sick. I swear they act like I was the one who hurt them. I think it just goes to show what guilt does to people. I am not responding to their emails because they obviously will continue to twist things around.

On to my H...he called me yesterday...he seems to be calling more. He and I both have a busy week so he says he will come to my S's swim meet on Thursday. Then he is going away for the weekend...again. I am feeling a little frustrated right now. I want to be more of a priority...I want working on our M to be more of a priority. I know...focus on the positives...but right now I am feeling like I am starting to not care about the M all that much. Maybe I am just tired of everything at the moment because of the email beatings I got from my XH and his W.
