As many of you know my relationship with my children's father is not the greatest. A little refresher for those who don't know/remember: this is the guy who, while we were married, would lay in bed at night crying that he never wanted children and they they destroyed his life. He says that my son is obese yet refuses to take him to any sports practice/game for the last 4 years. He constantly promises my kids things like Disney vacations and then right before they are "planning to go" he cancels. He spent several years in a bipolar downswing that led to our divorce. Not the greatest thing ever, but hey I spent 10 years of my life with him and have 2 of the most amazing kids ever.

Anyway... Yesterday I text to tell him that my oldest has his gifted testing on Friday. Just to keep him in the loop. The ex then proceeds to tell me that he thinks the kids need counseling. (this is something that I have talked to my family about and they all agreed with me in saying what I told him) I said, I really think the biggest issue right now is that you are spending so much time with your new family and leaving them out of things, like your last vacation, that they are hurt. Please just try and do some special things with them during their time with you. He disagreed that that was the issue, I said fine I will look into a counselor. -- Convo over.

Late last night I get this EVIL EVIL e-mail from his child-bride (23 yr old). She calls me everything from a terrible mother to a whore. She calls my son morbidly obese (he is big but not morbidly obese like his father was for most of his life). She said my daughter has body issues. On and on. It was very long. She ended it with leave my husband alone! -- This is probably the most horrible e-mail I have ever read and it was shocking that so much of her information was so wrong. Things like that I pass my kids off to my family... ummm... my sister is a teacher and sometimes, during the summer, instead of day care they go hang with her for the day while I work. But other than that... nope. My kids are with me. She said I never do anything with them.. HA! My every waking hour is about those kids! Anyway it goes on and on.

How do I handle this??? Last night I was so hurt and angry I was shaking for hours. I did not respond.
