JujuB, I feel your pain. What can you do when they are so self absorbed. I also understand how with every new hurt how it is easier to just let that rope slide through your hand until you are not holding it anymore. Unfortunately, it is still such a painful process.

BTW, I do not think you are being petty. If he hid income and failed to financially provide for his children, how is it that you wanting everything you can get from your taxes petty. I really isn't. Also IMO I don't find it petty to call him out on his self centered behavior. We are all a bit to nice to our WS and they continue to take advantage because they know they can. My WW knows exactly where to hit me... the kids. Since, my jogging friend showed up at an event, I have heard that she made a comment that she will not allow me to see S13 if I don't get my sh!t together. Keep in mind WW's OM2 was present. Moreover, she had already told me she was filing. Yet, every time WW is not happy she threatens withholding S13.

Well anyway, I am hoping things get better for you... I am sure we all are!
