Ahem...

It really is challenging to describe just how in (-sane, -nane) my ex is. I may have to create a new adjective for her condition. For the time being, I shall settle for telling you of the latest issues and her response.

I'm fairly content with the schedule as it is. From my perspective there are few conflicts and that it gives my ex a chance to stop yelling at me and (assumably) yell at other people. Sometimes she makes fun of them, but it's a little like seeing a retarded pit bull try to sing the Monkee's greatest hits. I digress.

The latest issue is UltraBoy's birthday, which falls on the same day as her weekend. This annoys her because she's missing out on valuable parenting time. She wrote the schedule, so I don't have a problem with it conflicting with her at all. No, I didn't have a chance to refute or edit. Bad lawyer... no cookie.

At any rate, she's been trying to trade that weekend for another. While I have parts of other weekends, and even tacking 2 extra days onto her summer schedule, she has denied me, owing to her "wanting to spend time with him on his birthday". Whiskey? Wouldn't that go against trading the whole weekend in the first place?

Not only that, but this weekend was traded for some time in January so that UB could go to a family wedding. But she's still yelling about it.

Lemme give you the latest text:

I am done talking about about Ultraboy's birthday weekend. You are dead set on stealing every minute you can from me. I have offered different solutions about correcting this scheduling conflict, with no help from you. I refuse to let you cheat me out of one more second with my son. If you want him for his birthday you will trade me the weekend before or after his birthday, but Ultraboy will not lose out on time with me. And as you heard he did not do his Latin homework assignment because he feels like he does not get to see me enough and wanted to do it when he was with you instead.

As for band, Ultraboy has to be getting your monetary difficulties from somewhere, maybe it is your lack of food in the house, your not letting him have dinner, his feeling of not wanting to eat as much so his brothers will have enough to eat.

I did not know she was failing two classes or that he was in a remedial writing class. I do not know these things because you have not told me these things. Because again that would mean you growing up and not acting very immature when it comes to me having anything to do with Ultraboy's life.

If Ultraboy has an instrument why did he ask me for one? I feel you can not afford one (or food) and you are to pride full to let me know.

(end message)

Part of this message gives good indication as to why I prefer to do everything by email. I may have foolishly given the word about his failing classes over the phone and not followed up. I don't think that's the case. Otherwise, she's full of crap. Totally. I actually feel like inventing new curse words as well, as the old ones just aren't sufficient. The rest I can back up with cold data (and leftovers). But, should I present such evidence, she tells me I'm making it up, that I'm a liar, and that everybody knows it.

Did I tell you that she said in a conflict over the visitation schedule she wins?

I'm thinking of asking her if our time is of equal value, in her opinion, because I know what her answer, were it honest, would be. And the courts might actually support me a bit with that in hand.
