Hi again! I don't even know where to begin. This saga keeps spiraling and I can't seem to get it under control. My XH has a lot of time on his hands since he doesn't "work". He and his wife just want to have full control over me and my children.
He sent the longest email regarding the schooling of our children. When we were married up until the day he married his new wife, XH never was involved in their schooling. We'd show him what the boys were learning and it wasn't of much interest to him. He trusted me to homeschool our children. But with new wife along with my ex in laws, the tone and concern has shifted.
He says that I must want our children to fail since our youngest is behind in reading (he's known this for several years) though ds9 had made tremendous improvement just needs time. No disorders just needs time.
Our oldest children don't talk to him and he says it's my fault. He also says that our younger children have lots of fun fun fun with him and his new family and they've said they love him. He wants the older boys to want to have s sincere relationship with him and he says it's sad that they don't call him.
Duh! He never calls or texts them either.
I don't know how to respond.
I'll seem emotional, bitter and defensive if I try to explain our children's behavior and grades. They are still so wounded then they see me stress out when he texts or emails. I'm trying to be strong but this is A lot of attacking . The boys are scheduled to start charter schools next year, So I don't understand why he's trying to get so involved now at the end of the year. He said he keeps saying he's documenting everything. So I haven't said or responded to any of his texts or emails. Does that work against me ? Need some wise words. I have paperwork for the homeschooling curriculum but I don't think that will suffice. I don't want to open another can of worms just for him to berate me.
