Still

[wishing, hoping]

Hello again. It helps me ground myself once in a while with this forum when I start to get dragged into the crazy. Whether it's by X's hand or my own.

Kids tell me that their dad is blaming me once again for his lack of money. He tells the kids I haven't paid him my half of S's phone bill in months, along with several other things. Forgive me for being defensive, but H decided on his own to take on S's insurance payment as well as the phone payment as well as buying him a car as well as paying for all of D's soccer. So I offered to pay for it and X said no. Now he has the nerve to say I refuse to pay him? And X has always had this policy he never wanted us to have to exchange cash. I was p*ssed to day the least.

So I told S and D I was gonna call their dad and straighten out the mess right that moment. They begged me not to. They said everytime I confront their dad he yells at them and has a family meeting about what and what not to say to me. Ridiculous.

It's pathetic how I still consume this much of his time and energy. I would just love to tell him off. But there is really no point. My poor kids have to deal with this idiot the rest of their lives.
