Well,well,well.. Ex-h and I had a talk last night when he brought D3 back. We talked about Son' s registration to College which will be finalised tomorrow. To my surprise, Ex-H knew nothing about it. Not even the field Son wants to study in..
????? I was shocked. Son lives with him during the week for work and here on week-ends. I assumed their relationship was solid. Ex-H said Son is always in his room or with friends. He does not see him nor talk to each other much.. He asked about each of the children and I realised he is not aware of anything concerning their lives. WOW!! their relationship seems superficial. Weird?? I feel very fortunate for my relationship with them..

Since this conversation went well, I expected him to make contact soon after.. Guess what? He just called.
He wanted to discuss the kids savings account.. hummmm???
I was very vague. Every time this subject comes along, I tell him the same thing: " When we separated, their security and education was my priority." It is all taken care of.

He replied with: " The government and the service reached and agreement. I am getting a 2 year back pay adjustment. I want to give you $** *** to do what you want with it. separate it beetwen them 4 or keep it for yourself, it is yours.

me: it will go to them. it does not belong to me.

Ex-H: they are under your care, under your roof. it could help pay for the boiler, water tank, sewage problems and roofing work you have done in the house last year.

(( he thinks I am living on a credit line )i' m not. I really good at budgeting and that is why I am successful as a business manager..lol )

me: I will divide it among them 4. Thank you very much!!

small talk, a few laugh and that was it.

This call was quite long. I know I should not expect anything but he is so predictable. I am SURE I get another call by the week-end.. I'll let you know! smile
