so another week over in crazytown..i'm so sick of it. XW txts me Monday night to tell me I owe her $100 for D's birthday party on Saturday. I told her thanks for the short notice. would be nice for a little common courtesy of a heads up. i'm on disability right now which is 50% of my wage. been on it for almost 4 months now because of my broken shoulder. i'm on a tight budget and she knows it. I told her I would not be able to give her the money as I did not know there was even a party being planned. accused me of playing games, which i'm not so I didn't respond.
Friday was my D's IEP meeting at school. she has ADHD they say and has some learning disabilities. I find her very easy to deal with. she does very well in school, daycare and at hoe when she is in my care. I had court at the same time as the meeting so I called her teacher that morning to discuss options for me to be able to participate. I was never informed of the last meeting and found out why. XW put my old phone number on her school records. then when asked to verify it at the last meeting, gave it again as my contact number. I gave the teacher the right info, and she is confused as to why XW keeps saying that is my number. i'm not, but I chose not to get into it. I was able to make it to the last half of the meeting. XW was asking for help on how to deal with D's temper tantrums and lack of focus at home. when asked if I deal with these issues, I could honestly answer no. I don't have those problems. she knows whats expected of her at my house and I positively reinforce good behaviors and there is no reward for negative ones. the psychologist was impressed with my "method" and suggested that XW and I should get together and set up the same system in both homes. XW then got up and had to leave. she had somewhere to be. typical behavior from her, and yet she wants full custody? I don't get it, and I wasn't the only confused person that day. the whole IEP team was confused.
that night I texted XW to ask when the birthday party for my daughter is. She texted me back an hour later to tell me, if I bring her $100 then I can know when and where the party is. I didn't respond as I had no idea what to say..holding the b-day party ransom??? seriously..
uugghhh... I just want this week to go by with 1/2 the drama and I would be a happy camper. I don't understand her level of hate. she is the one who cheated repeatedly, lied repeatedly and stolen from me repeatedly. somehow i'm a monster though. I did things wrong in the M, and I have owned up to those mistakes and have tried to make amends..
