A flurry of activity with xh. Last night I got a nice email thanking me for the ecard, and then this morning I get a call from xh offering quite a generous financial package from him to help youngest son this coming year, and I couldn't get him off the phone. Only my plea that my concrete was going off finally stopped the flow in spite of his saying how much he had to do to get ready for youngest son's visit. He seems to want my approval, as someone wisely pointed out.
Then I check my emails and find an email sent prior to the phone call about our financial settlement which is actually FINALLY closed off with his recent birthday. Due to a small error he found (my goodness where does he find the time to do all of this checking?) it turns I owe him a small balancing sum.
This is what I replied. (I refrained from asking him if he wanted interest on this). Less than $40 after a lifetime together, and an offer to youngest son worth so much more than this. What is going on? Wouldn't any sane person just write off that amount - I certainly would.

No problem - I actually find it hilarious. The laughter alone is worth the money. I suppose if I didn't laugh I would cry to think that our life together has at its ending been reduced to a final request for a balance of $38 owing. Says it all really
This is a first for me. I usually ignore his stupidity and meanness, and never allude to his behaviour. But since youngest son is going to give him a hard time when they meet later today, I thought I would also call him, for a change, on his stupid behaviour. I have had enough. It is official. We can do without his offer to youngest son if push comes to shove.
