Going straight forward...antlers 5th thread.

[Gardener]

Antlers,

I feel like I'm dealing with an alien! Someone 'foreign' compared to the one I've known for 2 decades! Good grief! Unbelieveably selfish and vindictive...both her agenda and her actions!

Yep. Well put.

Here's a text from her today...

"You broke up the family with your abusiveness that you displayed towards all of us for years. Your 'change' that you say you've done, and money, will never override that. It will live with us forever."

And another from today...

"If it makes you feel better to turn the issue at hand as you have always done then so be it. Everyone and I mean everyone knows the truth. Yes it was my choice to divorce but it was not my choice for the kids and I to be abused like you chose to do to us for years. The kids and I feel the way we do towards you based on your treatment towards us which continues to this day and will always continue because the only thing that has changed about you is your weight. Everyone knows the truth."

Am I dating myself as being "old school" by wondering why more people in these sitches don't just drop or block texting from their phone service and elininate these disruptive, upsetting, unexpected diatribes?
Just wondering...
Of course, the first time I ever tried texting (stepD), I was making so many tortoise-paced, alpha/numeric/spacing mistakes as she tried patiently to teach me (unsuccessfully) via text, that my last text in that sequence (and my last text ever) was, "This is so sad." That was four years ago.
