So this morning I sent my H a matter-of-fact email about dividing our finances including what he would be required to pay for child support. I haven’t heard anything back from him. This afternoon I texted him my daughter’s volleyball schedule in case he wanted to watch any of her games. Usually he would reply “thanks” but he did not reply at all. This leads me to believe he is upset about the email. Even though I stand by everything that was in there, I am a bit worried now that he is going to push for having our kids with him 50% of the time so he can avoid child support payments. I do NOT want that and neither do my kids. Where we live is their home and where he lives is a place they are okay to visit but would not want to live there. I’ve also been their main parent for the past four years while he was gone every day (home for only an hour most days) getting “treatment” for his chronic pain so it is ridiculous for him to expect that he can just come back into their lives and reduce my parenting role to 50%. He basically abandoned them for almost four years!!! Anyway... I know I am mind reading and projecting my fears right now but it is definitely unusual for him not to acknowledge my email and text. He hates dealing with lawyers and paid his D18’s mom child support according to the provincial guidelines without them ever having to go to court so I had assumed he would do the same thing with our kids. I guess I could be wrong about that. So now I”m worried. Ugh... it was such a PMA day too!!!
