EX and I had made arrangements for him to come by and pick up some things he'd left at the house on Saturday while DD was napping. He was supposed to come before he picked up SS so that SS wouldn't have to deal with seeing me and being confused or upset. However, EX calls on Saturday morning and says that SS was having nightmares that DD and I were missing or lost and that BM was calling to say that she was concerned about it (not sure what the hell he was supposed to do). Anyway, so EX said that maybe it would be good for me to come out to the car and say hi to SS so that he could see that I am happy and okay, and still at the old house. I agreed it would be good.

Well, I guess BM found out and flipped out, saying that EX is confusing SS and not acting in his best interest, which is the complete opposite of the truth. I guess EX just ripped her a new one and told her where to go, that SS was close to me and maybe traumatized by my sudden disappearance. At some point, BB also let it slip that she had gone to EX's new condo, literally had SS walk her around the complex to find EX's exact unit and scope it out when she knew EX was at work. He told her that if he ever sees her snooping around his place like she used to do to ours, he will call the police. He also told her that from now on, they WILL take turns doing picking up and dropping off and that if she wants SS to attend church on EX's weekends, she will need to pick him up and return him because EX is tired of accomodating her and getting nothing but grief and nastiness in response for busting his ass for her. Also, he warned that if she continues to discard the clothing that EX buys him because she doesn't like it ($40 worth of new stuff was thrown away because it had the Transformers themse), he'll go for a CS reduction as he's entitled to one anyway and just hasn't opted to do it.

Ladies, I ask you--WHERE WAS THIS MAN FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS??? This is exactly the kind of shit that I used to ride him about...and he would blow me off time and again, accuse me of nagging, saying that he didn't want to rock the boat. Now suddenly he's Mr. Vigilant? I mean, I'm glad he found his nuts, but why did it take me kicking his ass out for him to grow a set? I would literally beg him to PLEASE defend our family, our things, our home, our money, and it was just like he never cared to. Now suddenly he's the king of the castle protecting his kingdowm. I really don't get it. Was it just that he didn't want to give me my "way"? UGH.
