So this weekend was my ex's weekend to have our 3 kids. He had to work in the evening on Saturday and was having our BD15 watch the BS8. The understanding was the gf's daughter15 was not going to be at the house. So our daughter agreed to go there, she wanted to see her dad, just didn't want to be the environment.

Well, ex had to leave for work prior to our BD15 finishing her cheer requirements so I had BS. We picked up BD15 and I was driving them to ex's house for their night there. BD15 had her hands full with cheer stuff, BS was carrying a hockey stick and pads and the snow hadn't been shoveled so I decided to grab his hockey bag and carry that into the house for him. The kids walked in, opened the door and my daughter says "the bag goes right there Mom, next to the radiator (which is right on side of the entry door)". As soon as BD15 opened the door, the very strong and distinct smell of pot came emanating to the doorway. The gf's daughter had a friend over, who quickly peeked at me from the kitchen, I told my kids, as calmly as I could keep it, "Come on guys, grab your stuff, you're going to stay at Mom's tonight, your dad isn't here anyway so let's just go to mom's. I'll help you carry out what you need"

I called my ex at work and told him that our children would not be at his home this weekend and why. That if he wanted to spend some time with them the next afternoon he was welcome to come and pick them up but they would not be alone in his home as long as the other kids are living there as well. I will not leave my children around drug users...period. He said he understood. Ten mins later he texted me to send the cops to his house. I asked if he was sure about that. He said yes. So I went to the police dept an filed a complaint, made a written statement and was told by the officer to contact FOC Monday and that I do not have to hand over my children while this is ongoing and that they would be contacting my ex to get his permission to search the home.

Needless to say, by the time the cops got a hold of ex and got to his home, the two girls had cleaned up and skeedaddled out of there.

Soooooo.....last night (all of this happened Saturday night above), my phone starts blowing up with texts from exH's gf. Asking me what exactly it was that I walked in to at her house, If details exH had given her were in fact true or was he just throwing the "candles and liquor bottle" in to cover his own ass, because her daughter is saying one thing and he is saying another. That have I ever noticed he has an issue with honesty??? on and on. I was like WTH is this??? I just said it was coincidence that happened to be happening and I went to the door, as normally I do not get out of my car upon drop off, I told her exactly what I saw, that my priority was my kids, what hers do and what she allows is none of my business, but I do have a responsibility to my kids. The details I gave ex and the police, the fact that ex told me to send the cops over there and that honestly there are issues when you are asking his ex wife to explain his story because you don't know if you should believe him or you're very troubled, this is not the first time, out of control daughter. That the LAST person I would ask to explain my husband's behavior is his ex wife and that she really doesn't know me other than who I am and the limited chit chat we have exchanged. She just went on and on and it was just...weird.

The never ending chronicles of step life....we could all write a book I think....or get a reality TV show...they give those out to far less entertaining people than the things I see all of us go through.
