25...that Satan thing was in my cross motion. But...it worsens:

A Setup

I sleep with my phone on my person or on the nite table next to me. It serves as my pager and as a surgeon, I must hear it. The night before, I fell asleep with the phone on the bed next to me.

At about 6 AM, I woke up to see that my son had crawled into the bed ...later to find out that he had a bad dream. When I got up...my cell phone was nowhere to be found. S8 told me that 'he saw it on the right side of the bed on mommy's side'. It was not there. I began to look for it. S8 began to blame himself for knocking it down. He began to look for it too.

I took off the sheets.

I lifted the mattress.

I looked under the bed.

It was gone

I approached STBXW about where my phone was. I didn't yell or scream. She denied it...emptied her bag...tossed her keys at me and told me to search her car.

I researched my room. No phone. STBXW accused me of taping her with it nights before when she had an outburst about sleepovers with the kids and threw our nephew out of the house on Saturday night (age 6), causing both kids to cry and denying S8 his sleepover with his cousin. This was a power thing for STBXW.

I approached STBXW....asked her to put it back...no questions asked...that I had nothing incriminating against her on the phone...to let S8 be the hero and find it. She denied everything.

I searched the bedroom again. Nothing.

The kids went to school.

STBXW left for work.

I looked one more time....the phone was under the bed...about an armslength in.....too far for the kids to reach....and...placed where it wasn't thru several searches. I lifted the mattress 3 times.

I never place my phone under the mattress...I would miss calls from the hospital and ER.

Last night, I was served by the Sheriff...in front of the kids...for new orders of protection...claiming I emotionally abused her in front of the children (our recent OP's expired in May). She also added that I was sleeping with our son.

S8 collapsed to the floor crying. We had just had a wonderful catch outside earlier and I had just bathed them and gotten them ready for bed.

I now have to appear on July 16th. The order doesn't stipulate that I am thrown out.
