Last week, I left the kids with a female friend while I was at work. The kids had a blast and my youngest asked the sitter to be her mommy. They opened up to her, stating their dismay with my W. She is always too busy to give them any time and the kids feel neglected. It is quite sad. Upon dropping the kids off to W, the youngest threw a tantrum for several hours. They seem to not like W. Then I got a nasty email from W about it all.....wanting to meet the nanny, how I should have told her about the arrangements and I should drop them off at daycare in the am, rather than directly to her in the afternoon. She feels that will allow the kids space for the day and not get so emotional.
I responded, holding nothing back and explaining how the kids do not like being with her and what I do with them on my time is my business only. The last day of visitation is MY time and I am not dropping the children at a daycare which they hate. Her reply stated I need to step up my game and attend school functions this year. And, I need to return the kids vitamins they took over to my place about 3 months ago. I wish I could just email back a facepalm emoji but I did not respond. Her control is slipping and she hates it. For the record, I am not attempting to reconcile and think it will be a great amount of time before we are on speaking terms. Her parents reached out to me and I am taking the kids to see them (they live out of town) in 2 weeks.
So still waiting on the judge to sign the final decree. Its been about 6 weeks. It has been exactly 1 year since BD 2 and the beginning of the destruction. I have come a long way and grateful for you guys here. I don't think I would have made it emotionally this far without y'all.
