This is an example of the whacked out thinking that I'm dealing with from her. Keep in mind that she has changed her filing from joint custody to sole custody. And she has constantly badmouthed me to the kids since she left. My son had stayed with me 12 consecutive nights recently. He didn't want to go to her house...he was supposed to be with her last night, but didn't want to go. He stayed with me again. Anyway, she sent me this e-mail last night...
"antlers,
1. Anytime I have the kids and you ask for them I let them go with you. 2. Anytime I have the kids and they want to go over there I let them. 3. If it's your turn to have them and they do not want to go, either I will tell you or have them tell you. If your ok with them staying with me, then they stay with me. If you're not ok with them staying with me then I support that and get them to you.
You do not show that in return. You should be encouraging son to be with his mother as much as he is with you. I would have never thought you would have tried to drive a wedge between me and the kids as you are doing now. Kids can deal with divorce. Millions go through it all of the time. But, for you to say the stuff to these kids about me that you do and insinuate the negative stuff about me to these kids that you are doing is causing more emotional and mental damage to them that anything they are going through. The actual divorce doesn't cause the emotional and mental problems, it's what they see and hear. In addition, for your mother to say the negative stuff about me to the kids is just as bad. As many times as we have been around my parents in the past year, they have NEVER said anything negative about you to or in front of our kids. According to our Temporary Order papers filed "Each party shall have temporary visitation with the children about half of the time." You are now allowing this. When it's time for them to come over here and you take them elsewhere and I do not agree with it then #1 you are hurting them and #2 you are violating our legal documents. One day they (son) will see what's really going on and you will regret what you have done by not encouraging them to be with me.
I'm asking you that when it's my days to have them you support that as I have done unless we agree otherwise. By not, it's hurting the kids more than the parents. And if you truly love these kids like you say you do then you will not do this to them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

WTF? She's out of touch with reality. It's full of lies and misrepresentations of the truth! And, under the circumstances, it's unbelieveable that she wrote something like this to me! Sounds more like something I'd have written to her
