The stbx was forced into helping me pack for the upcoming move tonight. I can’t do a lot for myself right now physically on account of my broken leg. And if she expects to get any money at closing the house has to be ready. After much bitching and complaining and blaming. She also found out there is a lien against the house that is due to close on Friday. So she was plenty salty by the time she got here. Walking around the house mumbling and complaining the whole time. I’m just quietly laughing to myself. I can’t control what’s happening so I decided to make the best of it. I’m not going to be guilted into giving into her attempts to bait me into an argument. Not in front of my son. This is all playing out much like I expected it to. The lein on the house was a surprise but again can’t control that. I guess I left a shit in the toilet upstairs so she had to clean that. The dogs pooped upstairs sometime the last time they were here; she had to clean that up as well.
She just really isn’t displaying a very good attitude in front of the kids. I think it’s going to wind up being an issue later. If she ever realizes what a vapid beast she has been through this whole process and apologizes to them I’m sure they’ll forgive her. But they will always remember that dad never bad mouthed mom. And that’s something I be proud of.

Holy shit! I just went off on that bitch.
Found my balls!!!

 

[mbrady]

Just to clarify I mean I went off as in I took back my power and am not standing for her shot anymore. There was nothing abusive or anything. Just one man standing up for himself and calling a woman on her repeated attempts to manipulate me and try to control the outcome of this divorce and child support through threats.

Well the house is sold. I move into my new place Monday. After all the fees and BS and the lein on the house we split $17,000. ?

Got moved into my new apartment!!! It is so refreshing and peaceful. Meeting with a psychiatrist today to work on medication and other stuff.

It’s nice not having to rush home for someone who needs you rather than wants you. I’m not late to appointments, I can decorate how I like, I can go where I please, see who I want, but what I want, pay my bills on time instead of holding them to pay for Mary Kay products. This is freedom. I can get used to this.

Working to establish and enforce more boundaries with the ex.

It's great you've got a positive attitude! That's going to help you a lot if you can maintain it at least some of the time.

Ghaaaa. Why won’t she sign? Because she is stupid and lazy that’s why. So hoping this is almost over. I need it to be final to close the last chapter of that book and get started on the next.
