Ok so it's the last contact in the contact centre tomorrow! Woo! Hoo! but the ex has just text me saying that my daughter has been off her food today and she is running a slight temperature, she's said that the text is just a heads up as she might cancel contact tomorrow.
She has said she will text me tomorrow to confirm either way.
Now I don't believe and will never believe one word that comes out of her mouth and my Girl may be genuinely ill but it will be 2 weeks before I get to see her again and it will break the consistency up from seeing my girl every week which I think is unfair on my little one.
My ex has been sound since the final hearing but I just don't trust her in the slightest my gut instinct always tells me she is just clinging onto the control she has so I don't really know what to think to be fair.
If she does cancel then at least I won't have to go to that stinking * hole of a contact centre again and I won't have to face them arrogant, ignorant, man hating witches of eastwick who run the place again but I was really looking forward to seeing my girl.
I don't suppose theres a lot I can do it just infuriates me that I am still at the beckon call of my ex I have replied nice as pie to the text by saying I hope my girl feels better soon and just let me know if contact will go ahead tomorrow but I'm fuming inside.
All in all I'm going to give her 3 strikes and this is strike 1 once the 3 have been used I'm going back to court for sure, obviously she may still go ahead tomorrow and I can't wait to see the back of this stupid 2 hours a week contact bull* but I think my best plan is to just keep quiet and see what happens what do you guys think?
Slim 🙂
...I agree with you, I think you nailed it when you said she is just clinging to the control she has. Has she got FaceTime or Skype? You could suggest that you have a little FaceTime with your daughter, my grandson loves it!
At least you never have to go back to the centre!
I honestly think she is full of * to be fair and I would rather just keep the texts and contact to a minimum if I can my mum suggested asking her if she will be willing to let me see her when she is better but like I say I'd rather not pander to her bull * really.
Yeah she has both but again I don't want to give her the pleasure of saying no and I certainly don't want her email address or facebook nothing, like I said I think I will just suffer in silence and get through the next 2 months until the court order says contact to move to prolonged unsupervised and at my place use this as strike 1 and if she's still not playing ball get my [censored] back to court for another order more defined for more that 2 [censored] hours a week.
I can tell by the text she is just winding me up as she is just goading me in the way she has written it as it finishes off with "I was just giving you a heads up so you don't have any issues if I cancel tomorrow".
I get the feeling she has had a drink too, I'm proper fuming but I will keep calm and see what happens tomorrow.......gggrrrrrrr.
Yeah so over the moon I don't have to go to that [censored] hole tomorrow if she does cancel but I will miss saying goodbye to the other dads who I have made friends with.
arrrgggghhhhh just received 2 more texts saying the same thing it's as if she's trying to get a rise out of me! I'm not entering into any sort of conversation with her the second one mentioned she was texting to again to say she will let me know if contact is going ahead first thing in the morning so there isn't any "problems" tomorrow then the 3rd was pretty much the same but said she wanted to "avoid any confrontation" tomorrow.
I really can't be arsed with all this [censored] when I've finished from work for the weekend it's just hassle I don't need.
She's obviously baiting you, Slim
Don't bite!
She will get her comeuppance, one day soon
No matter what happens, your daughter will always know T will loved her dearly and that you done everything in your power to see her.
I believe, that even if im denied seeing my kids, they will one day come back to me
Stay strong, I feel your pain, but don't give up
Yeah it's cool I haven't took the bait been nice as pie and not rose to any of her bull just don't need her [censored] at the moment I've got something wrong with my health that I'm really worried about so don't need any stress at the moment on the plus side at least I didn't have to go to the last session at that sticking [censored] contact centre
I feel your pain, Slim.
It's like they are free to tell lies and make our lives a misery, without having any fears of repercussions.
The damage that their behaviour has on our children and our health is swept under the carpet.
The courts attitude seems to be like, "you're a man, just get over it."
Glad to see you are rising above her games.
I'm here typing away telling you to be strong whilst trying to give myself the same advice.
It's a painful nightmare, but we just have to try and keep on moving forward
To be fair the courts do have the interest of the child at the forefront of everything they took a dim view of my ex when she stopped contact before at the contact centre If i leave her enough rope she will hang herself that's strike 1 today she has already breached the order so I'll give her 2 more then I'm enforcing the order.
She's being difficult because she knows contacts going well and she's losing control I'm just upset the continuity has been broken from seeing my girl we were building our bond back up nicely.
There's absolutely no chance I will ever give up I'm updating all my court stuff as we speak I will not rest until my Girl gets what she deserves.
