I recently posted about how happy I was that the ex and I finally were able to work out visitation times for him (his normal every other weekend plus all holiday breaks and 6 weeks in the summer) and the fact that he finally agreed to start meeting me 1/2 way instead of me having driving all the way back up North every other weekend.

The agreement didn’t come without a huge hurt to me. A huge hurt in the amount of HALF. In other words he’s now paying 1/2 of what he was paying in child support which is a huge financial burden to me to be losing that much monthly income. But he said the whole reason he was being jerky about meeting me 1/2 way and wouldn’t do it was because he couldn’t afford it so that’s where the reduction of child support came in (to help offset his traveling costs every other weekend – as if I don’t have traveling expense too!).

Sunday night when we met 1/2 way he informed that if he didn’t receive the paperwork from Friend of the Court by the next weekend that Caleb is to go up there that I would HAVE (there was no asking me he was flat out telling me I had to do it) to drive all the way up North.

Uhm excuse me?

Nope I don’t think so. It’s not MY fault that one of two things has happened here. (1) Either Friend of the Court hasn’t sent his paperwork yet or (2) because he hasn’t changed his address with them (which is his responsibility) they sent it but it went to his last known address which is an ex girlfriends & I seriously doubt she’d give it to him if it went there.

So maybe I’m being witchy in saying that NO I won’t do it but driving all the way is NOT my responsibility anymore (and I’m still doubting that it ever was in the first place but that’s a whole huge rant aside from this one).

UGH it’s so difficult dealing with him sometimes. I swear he thinks it’s still his privilege to annoy me or something.
