My rambling
Take 2: Computer restarted when I was 2 sentences from the end....
Back round: DS is 4 1/2; got divorced 2 1/2 years ago, exH got married to W, and step son B. ExH had a house fire earlier in the year. DS is with me about 60% of the time.
My rambling: ExH moved into a flood zone, I called on Sunday to check on them - so far so good. Call back Monday, not good, flooded, in car headed to someone's house. ExH talks to DS for 1 minute.
Tuesday is a Daddy night - I don't hear from anyone. 2 PM I call/text/email - nothing. 4:30 they ask if I can keep DS while they get settled. I ask about wednesday - they don't know what they are doing yet. I invited them over here to go Trick or Treating since we have power/heat/etc.
Wednesday is exFIL (passed away) birthday. I try call/text/email ExH and W during the day - nothing. I got out of work around 3:30 so I call/text/email that i'm getting DS - to let me know what they are doing. On the way home we stop at exMIL's house so she can see DS. Turns out she has no power, no cell phone, b/f isn't home. She tries to give me food but I told her I'd stop by Thursday - it was still pretty frozen.
On way home, W calls and asks if she can still come with B. I say yes. I live with my mom for now. Mom is bitter about my divorce but glad I got out of the marriage ( ) She gives me a hard time about inviting them over...they wouldn't do that for me... but W invites me to a few things on their weekend if she thinks I'd want to see DS (parade). Whatever, if you don't like it, go upstairs for the 2 minutes they are in the house. It really only cost you 1 piece of candy you don't eat anyway. We are out TOT'ing for about an hour, they leave all is fine.
I text exH and W for exH to call DS on the house phone if he wants - nothing.
Today I go back to MIL - still no power and her cell phone died. She asks about exH and I tell her what I know. She gives us food.
I text exH and W about MIL's updates - W texts back thanks for the update about MIL. Nothing from exH. Today I ask DS if he wants to talk to exH b/c he hasn't spoken to him in a while - DS calls, exH isn't chatty.
I get on the phone with exH and he doesn't say anything about MIL, or halloween (thank you for invited B/W over...nope). Barely asks how DS is - I told him he had a cold, I told W to get med since this is a daddy weekend. Okay...
So I tell my mom that exMIL gave me food, she says, why didn't you invite her over for dinner, or a shower. Really, you didn't want to see W for 2 minutes but exMIL can come for dinner? I can't win.
I guess I'm annoyed with exH for not taking more of an interest in DS but I gave him all the info that was going on...maybe a thank you is what i"m looking for. And my mom, I can't win - I thought I did a nice thing inviting W & B over yesterday.
So, if you made it this far, thanks - I'm not sure what i want you to say but I had to get this out...even if it took 2 times!!!!
