Thanks Bug. I'm after advice, I'd like to ask the vets for advice too, If possible please? It's concerning my children.
So H was supposed to start paying me money two weeks ago. This week is week three. So he called me up and said he had transferred one week payment and he will pay the rest next week because he had other bills he had to pay this week. Then he said "Is that okay?" (So basically he told me, then asked.) I replied "Well, Not really but it will have to be." So H looses his s**t. Says he will transfer the rest now and he won't be able to have the children this weekend because he won't have the money now, Thanks to me. I tried to talk to him and he hung up.
I called him back and he hung up. I sent him a message which said "Don't worry about it, You didn't let me finish talking."
So he called back a few mins later and said he transferred it and now he won't be having the children this weekend. He was angry, so there was no point in trying to discuss it further.
He then sent another message "I'm not having the kids this week now I can't afford it now."
I replied " Okay but I don't know why you have to be like this."
He replied "You can tell them too."
I didn't reply and soon received one more message "Hope your happy now"
This was all about three hours ago. I think my tone of voice was a bit annoyed. That's something I'm trying to 180. My voice tones.
He only sent one more week worth BTW, so he still owes one week. It probably would have been okay for him to send three payments next week because next week is my worse week financially.
I was going to say, had he let me finish, That it was actually okay this week because I will need it even more next week but I need it paid regularly. I need to know that that money will be there when I need it. He didn't let me get that far.
Now honestly, I'm pretty sure he had no bills last week but blew his money on the weekend, Even though I had asked him on Friday for it because I needed it for D9. He ignore me and didn't reply until Sunday afternoon.
Now I just don't know what to do. Do I send a message and ask him to call me, so we can discuss it? Do I try to call him? Or just leave it be?
I just hate that he is taking it out on the children. They were so excited to be going and now they are going to be so upset. I'm also thinking he wants me to tell them about the money, which I will not but I think he probably will.
I want to do whatever is best for my children but I don't know what that is right now?
Should I offer to transfer one payment back and he can pay three next week?
I don't want things to get messy for my children! I just really have no idea what to do right now.
