Thanks Mindfull, I did something very similar yesterday and magically money was received this morning. He paid 4 of the bills that are due now and also gave money for the kids (in the joint acct so we both see it) Somewhat of a relief
Seems like it is always something, however.
This morning he emailed to discuss graduation AGAIN. We have already discussed it and decided on a restaurant as a neutral place.
He made it sound like S18 keeps bringing it up to him, which I found odd because he hasn't said anything to me. After speaking with S18 briefly this morning, STBX brought it up last night. It's one thing to try to manipulate me but to use the kids is disgusting.
I am gathering my thoughts and calming myself before I respond to him.
He is spending the weekend with friends that are less than desirable so that didn't help. He felt the need to tell me where he is going and with whom (I didn't need that information) and I know what he does with this group, which really didn't help. Sadly he has my kids looking up to this bunch and they were raving about them last night (so clearly it was discussed).
I don't feel the need to tell them details they don't need, but it makes me extremely protective about any time they may want to spend with this group. Makes me sick to think about it. Thankfully they are with me this weekend, so its a non issue right now.
