Hi All, I think some of the recent activity on my thread has disappeared following the tech work of the last few weeks.
For those who posted to me, thank you. Your input and kindness in keeping up with my sitch has not gone unnoticed.
Just to update, XH has re-surfaced after months of NC.
His approach involves giving the kids money ($100 a week each) - in lieu of child support which he refuses to pay to me.
S15, in particular, is upset with this and has tried to point out to XH the need to pay proper child support.
It has resulted in S15 swearing in frustration at XH on the phone on two occasions.
Each time XH immediately phones me and insists that I meet with him to discuss.
I have taken the line that it's his issue to work through with S15.
XH then threatens me with formal-sounding emails on the topic of S15's "behavioural problems" that are replete with legalese about what he will be forced to do in response.
I've ignored them each time and, so far, nothing has happened.
He has appeared, un-announced, on our doorstep three times in the least fortnight - to deliver a weekly cheque to S15. Each time he bowls straight into the house, literally pushing aside whoever it is that answers the door.
I don't know what's going on... just reporting the patterns in case any of this helps someone who might have experienced the same part of the MLC cycle.
I am just sitting back and watching the passing parade, but I am worried about what I see as XH's 'strategy' of starting fights with the kids in order to ensure ongoing contact with them.
