I wish more folks would keep in touch or just update, it makes me worry sometimes. Best wishes to all.

Where is TGHIB ? I agree that I wonder about people especially when I get caught up in their stories and wonder how they are doing. Hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks ladies.

I have posted here and there but no blogs for a week, got sick of being called a drama queen LOL

I am good.

Relatively!

Ok, so we had the court carry on last week.

He has contacted my mother a few times, done the I love her, sob sob bit.

Tried to FB my sister and "tell her HIS side of the story" - she just said "blending two families can be hard" and didn't listen.

I am starting a course to become a Teachers Aide in January, very short course so I have better job prospects when the new school year starts at the beginning of Feb.

The girls and I are doing fine, living in peace

I have had limited contact with him, email re mortgage, bills etc. We have briefly discussed "what to do" - no real resolution. Which works for me, we need to get the house valued, etc etc. The longer all this takes the better for me obviously.

Ummmmm, he is living in a caravan park, is a bit of a mess (him not the park although from all accounts that's a dingy one too) He came by last Saturday with his police escort to collect some stuff. I was told a list of what he wanted and it would be best and easiest to have it all ready before they got here and left outside.

So I did.

The list was quite extensive.... But I did it. All apart from "HIS" kids mattresses and doona's. As they were actually MINE - I let him have all the bedding, blankets, pillows, throws and cushions I bought for their rooms, but the doonas and mattresses I kept.

He blanched when he got here and saw the mountain of stuff - apparently there had been some miscommunication - he didn't ask for all that stuff. He was like "I'm living in a caravan, what am I supposed to do with all this!!!!"

I said it was ok, whatever he wanted to take do so, the rest could stay until he was ready for it etc. He later apologized (through my mother) and said being confronted with of all his stuff on the doorstep upset him. He was in a bit of a state the rest of the time, he packed most of it into the truck (borrowed from his work) and left their bikes (his and the skids) No drama.

Later (in an email to me) he apologized again to me, and said he was a mess, that after being here he had stopped to put petrol in the truck and drove off without paying. Didn't even realise til the Monday when the servo called his work (thankfully HE is the boss LOL so he was able to sort it with no real drama) and yes, ok I did feel a bit sorry for him.... but also - GOOD, perhaps he will now take a good hard look at himself and his superbrats and get his shit together.

Oh, a mutual friend (of ours and BM) also spoke to him and told him again that ALL the stuff I have complained about re SD14 is TRUE. That SD and BM BRAG about it all so he needs to accept that his "baby" isn't a baby, she is a manipulative, lying little bitch. Friend also told him that he would end up a lonely old man because in a few years his kids will have grown up and moved on into their lives and won't be there as much, and he has let them chase off the best thing that ever happened to him (and that they will continue to chase off any other woman he gets close to) and that he should have nipped all the shit with SD and BM in the bud the FIRST time I told him of it. supported me. etc etc etc.

So.

I am ok. He is not. Karma is a bitch.

Happy Saturday people!
