To recap: STBXW was supposed to have D until Monday evening for a long week, taking her to school on the first day (today) and keeping her for the weekend.
I ended up with D today, on no notice, and took the day off of work to register her at school. Since I had the day anyway, and we were done at school in less than an hour, I took the opportunity for some quality time with D. We went to the zoo, and had lunch at Chuck-E-Cheese (I had some tokens) then took D to her annual physical.
This is where the insanity starts.
Since STBXW wants no contact with me, MIL has been facilitating handoffs. MIL asked me last night to call her when the dr appt was done.
So about 4:30, I call MIL. No answer. I wait a few minutes and call back. Brother in law answers the phone. He immediately starts yelling. Think "angriest guy you've ever seen in a movie" screaming. I imagine spittle was flying out of his mouth while he was talking.
BIL: "THIS IS NOT MY F---ING PROBLEM! YOU AND STBXW NEED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AND LEAVE MOM OUT OF IT"
Me: "I agree with what you're saying, but"
phone hangs up. A few minutes later, phone rings and it's MIL's number.
Me: "Are you ok mom?"
BIL: "SHE IS NOT YOUR F---ING MOM!I AM NOT AFRAID TO COME DOWN THERE AND F--- YOU UP! YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE--"
Me: "I am not going to be spoken to like that. Knock it off, or I WILL call the law."
BIL says words to the effect of F--- YOU, I'm going to kick the ---- out of you, etc. I hang up the phone.
Phone rings again. I answer. More screaming and threats. I hang up. I cease answering the phone, which keeps ringing and ringing.
Send text to STBXW telling her what just happened, that I can't talk to mom to arrange a pickup, and that she will need to meet me. She tells me BIL did the same thing to her, and that I should go to where I was planning to drop off and mom will be there.
While I'm driving, I call L. L tells me that I am NOT to drop D off under any circumstances, that the situation is dangerous for her as STBXW is refusing to communicate with me, and that the person who IS communicating with me has this person with her. They tried to reach STBXW's L but he is gone for the day. After informing STBXW of what is going on, I am NOT to respond to texts or answer the phone, or answer the door if anyone shows up.
I text this information to STBXW. Phone starts ringing off the hook. Text after text after text.
I eventually get a voicemail from BIL which says, "Hey EastTN, this is BIL. When you and STBXW go to court, have me subpoenaed, I'll be more than glad to go to court for you guys. It might not do you no good, might not do her no good, but I'll be more than glad to go. That way I'll set the record straight for the judge, for everybody. You understand? Goodbye. Yall need to learn how to take care of your kid and not expect somebody else to do it. Mama had to take care of mine while I was in jail, but she didn't have a choice but to be there. Yall need to learn how to take care of your own, yourself."
