I Don't Like Mondays

[tested metal]

Ex got out of hospital today. Still in lots of pain and they don't know what is going on, but she is on painkillers and antibiotics and apparently is no longer a threat to die.

Ex asked if I and D2 would eat supper with her and MIL tonight so she could see her and I agreed to. We also talked about D2 having night terrors and Ex inquired why she would have them. I explained that it is quite common, and that combined with all the changes D2 has had lately it may be contributing. Ex asked what changes and I explained just changes we had made with her school, effects of switching between homes, etc. I explained it without malice just calmly. Ex pretty much got ticked off, told me to let her know if I wanted to come to dinner with them or D2 was coming alone and hung up on me. Big surprise. She's in complete denial or guilt of what this is doing to D2.

Hours later I inquired if she was discharged and what the plans were so I could be prepared. She told me her Grandma was in a coma and was going to die very soon. I knew she was ailing as I was told all last week of this. She was in her 90s. I again offered my condolences and Ex told me that she will be taking D2 home with her to the funeral for a couple of days and that she is home alone waiting for her Mom to call with details of the plans if it "met my approval".

I replied that she does not need my approval to spend time with her family and that D2 would be going with her as agreed previously. Ex then texted that her grandma died and that her mom would be giving me the info. She was still very callous.

It seems that once ex is out off danger she treats me like crap, but when she needs something I am the best guy ever. I am done with that cycle.

I guess the issue with D2 going to MIL is going to be a moot point now because ex will take her because of the funeral. That was agreed upon in the divorce and I would not stand against it anyway.

Ex's grandma was a nice lady and I think would cringe if she knew what ex has been doing. I see stormy clouds ahead as grandma was the closest to Ex and Ex revered her as a parent. She called her grandma but her own parents by their names! I don't know about you, but that kinda tells me something.

This next week I have a mandatory training for 2 days 270 miles away so the timing of this might work out and I can make the training now. I will spend that time off relaxing and treating mysel fto a nice meal on the government's tab!
