Oh Job, it was such a strange conversation. You have no idea. I'm sure he has tried to stalk D12. I imagine he has told his parents and atty that he keeps in contact with them...so, he has to come up with information to feed them. "Have you heard from D12?" ...
He has a few potential responses...
-The honest one...she won't have anything to do with me. -The lie...Heather won't allow her to talk to me. Now, however, the legal situation is challenging this one because I have his lame efforts documented and, now, he knows it...Won't fly with the atty...at the least...and probably not my FIL who is probably talking with the atty. -The sneaky lie...He follows them on Twitter and whatever and gets info and feeds it to his parents to make it APPEAR as if he is in touch. How freakin sad is that?
The conversation we had yesterday was so strange, but really revealing into his frame of mind.
He must be really, really nervous for money. I'm guessing the atty fees are coming to something around $10,000. Hence, the claim.
Like you said, all things are revealed in time...
I got a glimpse into his life yesterday and it's not pretty.
I'm thinking he really flipped when we left. He had his troops rallied and they all jumped on the Heather is crazy bus...Look how she left the house. She took the kids two states away. She sold his tools for revenge...etc...
He, of course, fed this fire and played the victim.
His parents and this aggressive atty bought what we was selling and put things into motion to fight evil Heather.
Now, the hearing is over and his atty has a better idea of the truth...AND, the bills are coming in...His atty is probably realizing the claim about the tools is what it really is (his atty has been at this a long time)...a failed attempt to play the victim. Now, his atty is pressuring because he wants paid and sees that Smokey doesn't haven't have a legit claim.
So, Smokey goes ahead and files a fraudulent ins. claim hoping it will pass through the system unawares of me.
He's very desperate. I almost feel sorry for him.
And, in a strange twist, he seems to have been forced...because of the D charges and his atty telling him the charges of emotional abuse and abandonment are legit...now, he actually seems to admit he abandoned us.
When he said was giving me all his B.S. about the tools yesterday, I finally responded..."You abandoned your family. You left me with the house, yard, kids to take care of...for years. Your family finally got fed up and left. It's an ugly truth, but it's the truth."
He could only respond with more blah, blah, blah about the tools. He didn't argue the facts like he would have even 6 months ago...with some lame response like "Well, if you had gotten off your lazy azz and gotten a job, etc..."
He only has the tools. That's all he has left.
I have a job. The facts are out there. Atty bills are coming in and his kids have shut him out.
I told him yesterday..."I can't imagine the hell you have created for yourself. It must be awful. Even when I reach out and tell you the kids and I will always love you...you seem to react with even more venom and get meaner. How freakin sad. Take care."
All he could come back with was this lame..."But, what is the truth about the tools?"
He's fixated on it. And, he is projecting that I'm the kinda liar he is...
A whirling dervish and I'm two states away. Thank You God.
