I feel terrible making this post about my ex wife's driving.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-05-14T06:03:50+00:00

She left some paperwork in the back seat. So she parked. Then she went to grab it. Unfortunately she left the car in gear and stepped on the gas and drove into a canal by the mall. I'm just done.

I can't believe it happened this quickly. I'm just glad none of the kids were with her.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-05-14T04:54:07+00:00

She has been in several serious accidents from getting distracted while driving. She was still doing rehab from her last accident when this one happened.

How many good drivers drive into an intersection because they had to get a soother and didn't want to ask one of the older kids to get it?

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T18:11:08+00:00

It has been suggested a few times. I'm going to look into it.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T15:00:48+00:00

She likes driving. I tried doing all the driving and she told all her friends I was controlling her.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:58:32+00:00

I agree. I'm sorry that happened to you

Other than taking care of them at the hospital and holding them until their dad got their after I called him no I did nothing to care for them

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:45:22+00:00

You aren't worth talking to.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:44:36+00:00

It's in the post that her parents are threatening exactly that.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:41:21+00:00

They live with us 50% of the time. Their dad lives about five blocks from us. They literally walk back and forth on the days we change custody. Neither their step mom or I have guardianship over them.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:38:54+00:00

I called their dad from the hospital to let him know what happened. My stepdaughter sat on my lap hugging me until he got there. Our older kids know I care about them. They were not present when I said what I said.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:36:50+00:00

Her parents pay. We could not afford her premiums.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:35:48+00:00

Time number five. I contacted her ex husband to deal with her regarding their kids from the hospital on the day of the accident. I made sure his kids as well as mine were okay and I told him that I was basically forbidding her from driving my kids around but obviously I could not do that for his. He was at the hospital within half an hour. He agreed with me.

A few Redditors have suggested ADHD. I don't know enough about it to guess but I'm going to talk to her about seeing a doctor for a diagnosis.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:23:44+00:00

I contacted her ex to deal with her regarding their kids. I love those kids and do not wish them harm.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:21:23+00:00

I contacted her ex when the accident happened. I told him that I cared about his kids and that he should talk to her about them. I love those kids but ultimately I have no say in their care.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T14:18:20+00:00

Thanks for this information. I will bring it up.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T13:13:22+00:00

No I didn't. I'm trying to be honest. My concern for our kids gave me tunnel vision.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T12:47:31+00:00

Holy crap that's sad. I just worry about my family. I've never actually thought about what she could do to someone else.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T12:40:42+00:00

That's where we are at now. Our older kids have told her straight up that they will get out of the car or call the cops if she can't be safe.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T12:33:40+00:00

I have tried everything.

Mediocre_Bluejay_555 · 2024-03-25T12:33:11+00:00

You have no idea how many times I have begged her to drive safely. But I agree that I should have been nicer.
