I just had a lightbulb moment, wrote a post and my computer decided that was the moment it needed to do updates and shut me down before I could upload it.
Anyway, the gist of it is that all this stuff about small sums of money is essentially a distraction activity - Remember tidying your room when you had an essay crisis?
My xh is running around trying to distract himself. he has been making efforts to re-integrate himself in his family have largely been rebuffed. he hasn't done the work on himself. The r with OW2 is now around the 2 year mark. In short nothing is working.
So what could be more logical than sitting down with a calculator and working out that your xw, the one you loved for more than 30 years, and is the mother of your much loved children actually owes you $38? It is a master stroke in distraction. He wasn't mean or nasty in his demand. He is just wholly and totally disconnected from what anyone else would call reality, but hey - he can still do basic math. So he must be OK, right?
