I find it very interesting that my XAH is still trying to manage my time even though it's been what .. 3 years?
My poor kiddos, .. they get so tired of answering his bizzaro questions about what I'm doing. There is a total reason I have a no contact clause in the divorce decree.
Last visitation which keep in mind we are talking a 2 hour window. I sometimes I am home sometimes I'm not when he comes to pick the kids up .. I prefer not to be there only because I find the whole situation weird. LOL. It just is what it is .. and it's weird.
So my daughter says to me MOM! I swear I am so tired of this .. Dad randomly asked me if you were working today (that was a Sunday). I'm sure it's because I choose not engage him on any level. I was gone running some errands or meeting with a girlfriend, my free time without children is so limited I just try and get what I can get done during this time.
Anyway, my daughter is so over all this and just looked at him and said NO and I don't see how what MOM is doing is any of your business. We have had this conversation. MOM is not a welcome topic of discussion.
There are sooo many other things for them to talk about, it really doesn't need to be me. It's like I told her he's still trying to exert his control or get into what I am or am not doing. I'm sure that some of this is financially motivated so he can try and say he is not paying alimony anymore .. he's dying for me to get involved with someone .. LOL. It's like OMGOSH whatever! As if that will happen before alimony is done anyway.
Is it a normal reaction to be continually fixated on at this point? He's remarried . why does it matter to him what I am doing? I'm not doing anything wrong .. it makes me feel very uncomfortable .. I'm just glad that my kids are so protective of me that they set him straight about what is and is not ok.
Hugs S :)
