Hi Mandy .... here's a good Brit word to describe all this .... blimey! I laughed when I read that S just dropped it in the bin.
Me:57 H:52 M:28 Got another lawyer last year and filed. D35,S/D twins28,D22 EA4/04 End? Who knows? "Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you." — Peace Pilgrim
Well folks just to say we are back and had an extremely good holiday, lots of laughter and fun, met lots of new and interesting people. Son really chilled out and we did a lot of adult conversations between us, son as grown up so much it is amazing, came home and son had to collect his grades from his exams, I am so pleased that he passed all the exams he took before leaving high school, way to go son way to go . On another note, to say his father said he wouldnt be contacting son or myself again, he did indeed send him the birthday card and money and also a text message on his actual birthday to wish him a happy birthday and fantastic holiday, son didnt reply and says he doesnt intend to, if dad says he as finished with me so be it was his response when I asked, oh well ex you have done the damage yourself yet again. anyways onward and upwards folks so the saying goes xxxx
Mandy, I'm glad to see that you and your son had a great holiday. It's always nice to get away and especially from the irrational behavior that your "x" has shown recently.
I'm sorry about the threats he spewed about your son's birthday and not recognizing it. Yet again, he's dug his own hole deeper by the threats. They just don't get it...you can't turn a relationship on and off like a switch to suit their needs. I do understand how your son feels about the situation. It's his father's loss yet again.
Have a pleasant weekend.

Glad you and son had a good holiday. How odd that our MLC'r doesn't/can't see the damage he does to his own family relationships. Mine actually told his sons "I don't want you to hate XXXXXX" My DIL replied, " Why would we, she didn't do anything?"
Hello, hello, HELLO! Back home again, and I bet rested, with loads of interesting stories to tell. I am so glad S had a good holiday/birthday. I agree, your XH dug his hole, and he can't seem to find where 'up' is, so he just keeps going 'down'.
Take care.

Yep, he'll continue to tumble down to the bottom of the rabbit hole. I agree w/you....nobody knows where he'll stop. It's a shame he's ruined his relationship w/his son.
Mandy, your son is very wise for his age and he'll do well as an adult because he's had you for support and encouragement. Now, the question is...what is Mandy doing for herself these days?

well thanks for asking Snodderley, Mandy is doing okay for herself at the moment, still not interested in getting myself another man, whether that will happen in the future one will have to wait and see, I just see so many marriages and relationships falling apart and so many couples arguing and fighting all the time, it just makes me feel better to stay on my own for now. also busy working, partying and having fun fun fun with the best son anyone could wish for, the holiday was fantastic and looking forward to the next, son has turned into a young man now and it is cool to hang out with him and have adult conversations instead of mother/child talk, yes have to say snodderley I never thought I would reach this stage, but am so pleased that I can see I am sane and the ex is way way insane, hahahah his loss, one day he may reap what he as sown, but to hell with him, xx
Mandy, I had to smile at your posting....you are doing very, very well and that's all that matters. Enjoy all of the time you spend w/your son. Both of you have traveled a very long way over a difficult road, but you've managed to find your way...
