Focus on me and my boys

[J5K]

Painter, CWOL,

The agreed upon time was approximately 5:30 pm because work is about a 45 minute to an hour drive for me.

During the week on Mondays and Tuesdays, those are my nights, I get home at 5:30.

Her wanting to leave on Fridays before 4:30 has happened twice now. First time the excuse was her father had an MRI at 645 am on Saturday. No excuse this time. Just wants to leave the state and go GALing.

She just texted me that she is leaving the two little ones with the neighbor and the older 3 are staying in school age care and that I need to be home by 5:45 pm to get the little ones. She is going to pick up the car and leave the van at the collision shop.

Please someone hit me with a 4x4 if I am not being accommodating or amicable with her.

I am not trying to be difficult but this is how she is with everyone she is close with, including her family. No one can ever tell her she is wrong.

I sent her a text saying my work hours are 8 am to 4:30 and she sent a reply asking if I will be home by 4:30 yes or no?

I realize now looking back I have been dealing with this for most of my marriage if not all. I seriously think she has a mental disorder but she will never admit that.

This is why I am fighting for custody of my kids. This is why I chose to not move up to Toronto. The same things that were going on here would happen in Toronto also, she would have been the ultimate cake eater.

I am not looking for any accolades for raising my boys as a single dad, but I am very concerned with her actions and how they will affect the kids.
