Why do I have to deal with all the ex's??? Mine and his? I now have an Ex wife too??
I am 6 years into the divorce thing and I will also be married to my current husband for 5 years come April. I have no one to vent to.. seriously.. And I just have to say I am sick of his ex wife feeling like my ex wife.. I have my own ex! 3 months before my current husband and I got married his son came to live with us, fine this was great, I always wanted more kids so I did not mind at all.. I wanted him really he had some issues that I thought were going on and he needed help, well let me just tell you he was diagnosed with a mild form of autism also called Asperger syndrome. I knew it would be hard, but this was the way it was meant to be.. I became "friends" with his ex due to having to care for her and his son full time after I had to excuse her from being absent for the first 15 months he came to live with us... I forgave and got over it and gave her the benefit of the doubt.. again, what was I thinking~ okay well that is some of that.. Lord knows I could go on for days about her! Again, I forget they are not married for a reason the same reason I can claim were both step parents ....
Now to get a little of my ex off my chest.. Well So my ex husband has been paying me child support for our children for the last {almost} 6 years.. And yet I know were divorced for a reason but seriously.. WHY does he think he can pay his bills when he wants to?? Our daughter just got braces last Oct and he pays 75.00 of the 230.00 bill every month.. along with 50.00 a week per child.. He pays that 75.00 when he wants to. And then he still can not pay that dang child support when it is due.. I am just ready to freak out. Now I would not be complaining but my current husband got hurt while we were on a family vacation a few weeks ago and were struggling a little with money, we really never count on the child support to care for the kids because well you never know when your going to get it. HOWEVER now that we need it ... he is not paying it! I have to say my head hurts so bad due to the thoughts and worries that keep going through my mind... Were putting out 90 a week in co pays just for therapy for my husband and then the kids need to get there teeth cleaned and that is only a small co pay but you know it is a co pay! oh my, Then we moved the kids to catholic school due to the crappy district we live in, he {the ex} thought it was a great idea and now refuses to help pay!!!!!!!!! But runs around bragging about his kids in private school... HOWEVER .. he does not pay a dime for them to be there! My current husband and I work at the school and volunteer to help lower the tuition.
I really have to say I just don't get why we just can't get along? really I no longer have to wake up to that any more, I no longer have to say where you been, who you been with.. Standing in the middle of the street and thinking is there anyone here who may have slept with my husband?????? As far as my husband, well His ex wife is just insane and that is all i have to say about that. Now how do we keep the kids from ending up like the ones that we no longer care to ever wake up next to???

btw I am new at this so please be bare with me
Sorry you are going through
Sorry you are going through this...but I will tell you why your ex thinks he can pay his bills when he wants to...because more than likely, you did not ASK him if he could afford to pay for braces, but instead, just did it and expected the CO to cover over for you by demanding he paid it wether he could afford it or not. I would love to get my teeth cleaned right now, haven't been in a while...guess what? We are scraping every penny and have no money for extras...sadly, that "necessity" has now fallen into an extra behind paying the rent, electricity and food...
PS about the school district, sad...very sad. I see you want your kids to go to a private school. Your ex might have agreed at the time, but as you read here every single day, things change...everything gets more expensive everyday...I would be happy if my child was in a private school too, if he lived in a bad school district...but that does not mean that my child's private school should come before a roof over my head or food on my table. Maybe if things are tough for you, you need to pull out the kids out of the private school so you have more money left over. Why do you live in a bad school district? Was it a choice by your new husband and you? Because if it was, that's really not your ex's fault either.
