I know, right?! I thought she was incredibly gracious in her public statement about him under the circumstances.
Nothing much is happening with X. He’s had the parenting plan paperwork for two months and done nothing. I suppose he could be reviewing it with a lawyer, but he hasn’t had one this whole time and I don’t really see him forking out to pay for one now given we are in agreement on everything. But who knows.
He still manages to be a pest in small ways. Yesterday afternoon when S3 got back from two hours with his dad (with a scraped elbow from falling off a shopping trolley, natch) he told me "Dad said you don't like him". I'm annoyed at how inappropriate it is to triangulate with a three-year old for sympathy. Once again, deflecting responsibility for his actions. It doesn’t matter if it wasn’t intentional, that kind of statement will influence S3’s opinion of me and my decisions.
I just said “Dad broke a promise that was very special to me and that’s why we are not friends”.
The man is pathologically incapable of putting his son first.
