Well after 3 months of pure bliss (no word from skid or crazy ass ex wife) it begins again. I made my last post back in September (a long rant about the ridiculous farce of an argument with all 3 skids and one totally insane ex wife) and this was just after said argument. Since then we have heard nothing from any of them apart from the middle one. Middle skid has social anxiety disorder and dh had been speaking to her via text regarding this trying to support her where he could. He met her for a coffee a couple of times and nothing was mentioned about the argument by either of them, dh had contact with her and was terrified of rocking the boat. I never got involved and that suited me fine, leave him to it if it goes belly up again then at least I'm not involved this time. Anyway, last week dh was sleeping after working a week of nights and his phone rang, x wife's number came up. Obviously he's not spoken to this woman for months so he answered thinking something serious had happened to one of the skids as she had insisted she never was going to speak to him again. Half asleep he said hello. She replied "hiya, middle skid's counselling for social anxiety isn't going great, they're bringing up the divorce and her home life and we first thought it was a chemical imbalance but they aren't sure, so we need you to come with us next week, I'll pick you up at 4 on Thursday, ok thanks bye!" Nice as pie, happy and friendly as you like as if nothing had happened!!!!! Dh just sat on the bed in utter shock for 10 minutes wondering what the hell just happened! I seriously can't even describe how evil this woman has been to him, the lies she fed the kids about him never being there for them, the evil things she said about me and turned all 3 kids against me and now she needs dh cos she can't deal with the shrink saying the fact that her daughter is mentally ill could be to do with her upbringing (if you knew ex wife you wouldn't need a shrink to tell you that believe me)!!!! And she's just acting as if nothing ever happened! Dh feels obliged to go of course. If he doesn't she has more fuel to the fire to say he's not there for them etc, but it means sitting in a car for 40 minutes with her, middle skid and youngest skid who still isn't speaking to him!! I mean seriously, what the hell?!!!! My issue is now if I see her and she tries the acting normal thing with me! I just can't do it (dh feels he has to to keep the peace with his kids !- I don't! ) but in the same breath I don't want to make things worse for dh!! Arrrrgggghhhh! Life was so much sweeter for those 3 months without having to even think about the toxic crazy b***h!!!!!!!!!!
