Don't worry Bond, I didn't respond. Learnt that lesson LONG time ago. However, she did call me yesterday evening to talk about it more. She:
- Played the blame game; that I chose to request the court to recoup my legal/court fees since the final court order only states that I am ENTITLED to recouping. She kept driving home her point that I chose to do this. I said if she hadn't gone down this route in the first place, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
- Asked me how much money I want. She doesn't want to go to court. She's broke. She can't afford to send her lawyer to represent her for the next two court hearings in Oct. I then asked how can she offer to give me money when she says she's broke.
- Said that I've already taken her (not our) son and now I want to take her money AND hurt her month alone with our son. She said the timing of the court hearings seem coincidental. I said that she's barking up to the wrong person when it comes to court hearing dates; I have no control over court schedules.
Then our son wanted to talk to her (he was in the dining room, I was in the living room). She broke down as she heard his voice. He said "mommy, can you forgive daddy. He said he's sorry" (He's been learning about forgiveness through our prayer/bible time and from church). My wife said, "Sometimes it's hard...especially when people keep doing the same thing over and over again." I didn't realize all these legal things correlate to my previous porn issues.
