Well,

Freddy Krueger just stuck her hand out of the lake, just in time for Halloween! It's STBX's weekend with the kids. S11 has a hockey game at 7PM on HALLOWEEN(!) an hour away from home.

She asks me to take him to the game so that she can stay at home and pass out candy to the neighborhood kids, so when he comes home at 8:30 it can "be a fun, fun Halloween".

Instead of setting the expectations with him, or telling the coach "Who the fu&k schedules hockey games on Halloween at 8PM for 11 year olds?", she pulls me into the jet stream!

I flat out told her no. D16 chimes in that she thought it was a "crappy thing for me to do" at which point I told her to "stay out of it".

STBX LOVES to set up scenarios to make me look like the "awful, detachmed, non custodial father". Instead of just dealing with S11, the game AND MANAGING EXPECTATIONS, she pulls me into it to set me up!

She's a master maniuplator. I continue to despise her (yeah, yeah...forgivness is a gift you give yourself.......I got it, but she is such an as&hole!)

Whew! Cathartic!
