Hi everyone,

Its been a while since I was here. Mattie, yes, STBX did cause drama. She followed the "parenting plan" to a "tee", seeing the kids about 5 hours total over their ten day break, never asking for more. I origianlly agreed to this plan, but it's killing me, and I'm changing it before the trial...yes...trial......

I have gone to my attorney to make the parenting plan more equitable in the time the kids spend with each of us. She wants me to provide custodial care every school vacation so she can work; three weeks worth, which is not fair, because SHE is the custodial parent.

She also wanted me to take two sick days for every one she takes with the kids because I "get" more sick days a year than she does. (No one has ever said to me "Hey, FLTC, you only used 5 sick days this year. Go ahead and take ten days off!"

STBX was not interested in the offer of the Special Masters. All she could say was that it didn't give her enough to live on. I don't tink the court cares what she "thinks" she can live on. I will be going to trial on the 25th!

Here's typical STBX behavior. I was able to transfer my GI Bill to my kids. The VA is picking up 70% of two years each of my daughter's college! Awesome! The first payment was for $8000 to the University that my D19 goes to. STBX and I each contribute 5K a semester for this state school.

STBX now believes thatsince the VA paid 8K, we should both split the reamining 2K! Unbelievable! 9K would have come from me, 1 K from her. My attorney thinks I'll win this one, because these were benefits that I could have uses, but gave to my kids.

She basiclly wants to ensure that I'll hate her forever!

D19 was a nighmare as usual. She took her sisters debit card from my apartment nad ran up $300 on her sister's card. I told her she'd have to leave. I will not have her living with me. She is non-remorseful, non-reflective and sociopathic! I've had it with her.

I'll be in touch! Happy New Year!
