Keel-hauled, but, more time with my kids

[faithisbelieving]

HI all....it was a horrible weekend at points, thanks to STBXW. I believe her new method is now 'granstanding', or, intentionally making public displays against me.

This is a tough post...just an update. Too many details.

After my son's recorder concert last Thursday, my STBXW pulled my daughter out of my hands in front of 4 mom's from our baseball team and the across the street neighbor's MIL. The gasps were audible from them. The MIL looked at me and said, "you really made a mistake, didn't you?" She also yelled at me in front of the parents selling tickets for ice cream to 'release her'..."you're keeping me from her" when I picked up my D6 to comfort her when she had a gas pain.

Yesterday, we divided up the weekend so that Monday was my day with the kids BUT..she was going to go to the Cub Scout parade our son was in. When I told her that I was taking the kids out to McD's for breakfast...and this is bizarre...she insisted that she WAS GOING TOO???? What the....????? I respectfully told her that I was having time with the kids and she made a scene in front of the kids. I had two choices: eat it....or call the police for stalking. Obviously, I chose the former. She followed us. The following was said in front of my children at the breakfast table at McD's:

Satan himself couldn't keep me from seeing my kids and he is sitting in front of me now.

At the den mother's house, the DM said, "OK, FIB, you take 'Sally' (her daughter) and D6 in your car....." No sooner did that leave her lips than STBXW raised her voice at me in front of 6 parents...that she knew nothing about this...that they were going with her...and then dragged 'Sally' and D6 out to her car and sat there with the car idling. I had to apologize in front of all the parents for her display...and..told the DM that it was better that the kids went with her to avoid any hurt to the children. They seemed supportive and later...faced with what just happened...I opened up a little bit to her husband without giving gory details. Any normal healthy parent who had any disagreement as to any arrangement would have simply said, "let's step outside to discuss this."

She is now grandstanding.

I went to my office late last night to submit those two episodes. Clearly...she can't see how much this hurts the kids.

Finally, my STBXW submitted in her affidavit that I slept with my kids on at least five occasions. I don't sleep with my children...they come in in the middle of the night...nightmares, separation anxiety, etc. Besides...we all know by now that THAT claim is a bunch of BS. Well, this morning, I came upstairs to get ready for work early and.....there is my STBXW in bed sleeping with my son.

Hmmmmmm.....
