I am looking for advice here and I know there will be differing opinions, but I am open to entertaining them.

As mentioned above, I recently found out D2 is on the School Lunch Program because, as she said "my mom is poor". Today ExW sent me her tax information as required by the court. She claimed both the kids, as the order allows her to do that. She also claimed HH, which she is not allowed to do because she was not paying any rent or utilities to her parents while there. That is really on her though because it doesn't affect me. but it does show her lack of ethics.

The thing that bothers me is, she is receiving more than $2K/month from me (and I don't make that much), she does not have a job, received nearly $3K in tax returns and I just found out today that she is taking D2 to a Broadway musical next month (yes actually in NYC) for a show that costs more than $500/ticket. We live in CA. I am working 2 jobs in order to survive, while she is spending frivolously and at the same time, acting like she is "poor" and says she doesn't have any money. She did inform me yesterday via e-mail that she is taking D on a trip next month on her weekend, so I will need to be with S2. She was intentionally evasive about where she was going, but I found out through someone else. D2 confirmed it tonight because she told me about it without me asking.

I really want to write her a long letter pointing out all of her moral and ethical failures as a parent and as a person in general, but I am sure that will go nowhere and in her mind, will make me look like the awful person she wants everyone to believe I am.

Writing this helped a little because I was able to vent, but I am still very frustrated. I know I should bite my tongue, but I want to let her have it and let her know I am not the moron she wants to believe I am.

If anyone has any advice, I am open. Thanks.
