Okay, I've been trying to keep my cool for so long that I'm second-guessing just being ME for once. I don't want to hand over my power, but I feel I'm losing my cool composure today.
Finally texted H back during lunch and said: "Let me know once it's straightened out and if you plan to shut off service to the house since D16 is there this week."
He replied: "What!!! Naw, already told you that's not what I'm doing silly! I'm trying to get service to my new apartment, and filling out info online. They say I already have an account. So I got in that, but since you are an admin, they asked for your SS#."
I replied (without my filter): "You've pulled the rug out from under our family as quickly as I've changed my underwear the past couple months, so pardon my skepticism. Didn't you use my SS# to file taxes this year? I'm assuming you somehow got my signature, too."
Those would be the taxes he filed - claiming my two Ds (his SDs) - and refuses to share any of the money except/unless I "bring him legit legal bills" that he says he'll pay. Yes, that'll be settled in court eventually so that I get half. But it still burns me up.
I'm feeling I just got down in the muck with snarky responses. I'm just OVER him texting me. The only way he can even afford his own place is because he pulled $1,300 from the kids and me every month, making it IMPOSSIBLE for *us* to afford a place to live!!! Do I want to "help" him with that? Hel! no! I'm OVER being so dang quiet in my responses! Yet, I can't find middle ground!! I don't want to be reactive in my responses. But I'm mentally too darn tired to figure out how to be creative.
