Hopefully I will have posted this in the right category...if not...my apologies.
Anyway...mys sons ex-partner is cruel.
Why?
Get this....to cut an extremely long story short....she sent my son a picture
of their 8 week old baby by email. This was followed by another email asking my
son if he wanted to have the baby for a few hours on a specific day this week.
Naturally my son agreed, agreed the date and time and thought he won the jackpot.
Well...next thing...he gets another mail saying that she wants to be unblocked from his
phone as she needs to be able to get hold of him should something happen to baby.
( emails are received via phone too)
So...he unblocks her and she then said that she wanted to be unblocked from
both phones not just the one.( and as soon as it was unblocked the incessant texting started again)
My son refused, telling her that he is contactable on the number she is unblocked
from but she wasn't having any of it...( for various reasons he has 2 phones and uses both)
....so there will be no contact.
She announced that she won't be attending mediation as she feels bullied(!!!!!) into it....asking
my son if he is going to take it to court.( of course he is...)
But I find it so incredibly cruel to send a picture,make the offer and then go hahahaha....got ya.
It makes me feel ashamed of being a woman....but I know there are more good mothers out there
than there are bad.
It's soul destroying for my son and for my family.
Sorry for the rant and length of this post.
Take care
Kirsten
No problem with the rant - that's partly what we are here for.
Could you son buy a cheap PAYG phone and tell her it's his new phone?
As a matter of interest, what sort of phone does he have (the one he doesn't want to unblock)?
He has always had 2 phones...his job makes it easier to have one for work and
one for himself/private.
Currently he uses IPhones...why do you ask if you don't mind me asking...lol
Take care
Kirsten
If it was an Android phone, there are ways of blocking or diverting calls and texts which might work to ease the problem. Unfortunately, I know nothing about iPhones.
