Well because of daughters breakdowns, we only see her Saturday from 10-7. that was supposed to be the start of her progression. we have seen her a total of 18 hours since Oct 2. can u believe that?
We discussed with ex that we should meet on a monthly basis and talk about the kids, how things are going etc... but she's too "busy" or "dosen't have time" or just won't respond. But yet, she utilizes two respite workers twice a week.
Anyway, on saturdays we usually pick daughter up from ex's place and ex picks her up from ours. well she left a message today saying that she will drop off daughter if we can pick drop her off in the evening instead, and see if it works. well it dosen't work and she's flipping mad because she says "if you want to see these kids, it is your responsibility to pick them up and return them home". So we stood our ground and told her that the current situation is that I p/u in the morning and she p/u in the evening.
Then she went on about how i'm making things "difficult" for "everyone" because i "can't get my way"...??? What things can't DH get? That he signed off and walked away from his home so her and the kids can stay in their home instead of manitoba housing? that he gave up weekday visitations so it will be an easier transition for his special needs son? that he reduced his time with his daughter so she can have a fresh start? that every type of custody arrangement she wanted and constantly changed, he gave her? And we're being difficult because we cannot drive her home because we have company that night...Nice.
Yes, it's really sad to think that all she see's in these kids are dollar signs. she was $50,000 in personal debt 2 years ago, and up until october she was asking if we can pay for her daughters $20 costume because she can't afford it. we give her $660 plus $200 in childcare...is it safe to say that we can put two and two together? yeah.
