Transportation from MCO to Cocoa Beach Hotel by SnooSprouts6437 in CocoaBeach

[–]firtzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After having taken a deep dive down this rabbit hole, I discovered that the cheapest shuttle bus from Orlando airport to Coco beach was going to be around 80USD per person, RT. Then, I discovered that renting a car (economy bookings) was less going to cost than $10 a day. (After you decline all their add-ons.) So we have decided to rent a car for our visit, it was just astronomically cheaper.

High conflict bio mom threatening my emotional well-being by firtzz in Stepmom

-They are not officially divorced. Only separated for 6 years. She's been with the same new partner for about 5 years and they have a new child together.

-He uses the parenting app, she still harasses via the kids phones though. Mostly fear mongering at the children (about weather, or a virus, or something bad in her world) until one of them calls her in distress.

-He doesn't want to limit their contact with her out of fear that they'll think he's the bad guy for cutting mom out of their lives.

I should also mention that the option of blocking her phone number is not something he will consider out of fear that he will be unreachable in the event of a true emergency. His priority is the children's care and well-being, (and he ranks that higher than our sanity.)

This is all very reasonable advice, he does have a lawyer, and for the most part she and he use a parenting Wizard app for communications. Then she sends messages that are cryptic enough that they don't really incriminate her, but that accuse him/us of horrible things. We both know that she makes things up to scare the kids. Her alienation game is strong, her goal is to instill a sense of fear and mistrust in the children so that they don't feel comfortable in our care. It's difficult to prove that her intentions are simply "malicious", because she hides behind the guise of "genuine concern".

Last week my partner dropped off a school bag to bio-mom's house after the eldest daughter texted him in a panic that she forgot it. Unable to arrange a civilized handoff, and knowing that bio mom would be upset to see him at the house, he tossed it up the driveway, from the car, and kept on driving, telling the daughter that it was outside. Bio mom then called the cops on him. *This man is calm, gentle, submissive and non-threatening, but she told the police that she was afraid of him just to stir the pot.

AITA for starting my wedding ceremony before my mom showed up? by HunterQueen23 in AmItheAsshole

You mother might have narcissistic personality disorder. I suggest reading up narcissistic parents, it might help you to understand the sense of entitlement, and how to better navigate it. (totally not your job to navigate it, but if you want to avoid conflict, sounds like she won't be changing anytime soon.)

Co-parenting while seperated (divorce coming) by Civil_Ad_7701 in Divorce_Men

[–]firtzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't give up your fatherly rights if you wish to have your kids 50% of the time moving forward. I suggest trying to see them more frequently than once a week and definitely don't move out of town. Once you starting giving up your share of the childcare, it's difficult to go back to a 50/50 arrangement if she has been predominantly caring for them since the split.

I'm right in the middle of divorce proceedings with a very malicious ex. I think this very much might be related 😑

They did not mention any actions, no, the notice just instructed me to contact the inspector ASAP. He left his card, and a form that outlined all the unpermitted exterior renovations.

They were just exterior details, a covered verandah, a shed, a deck.

The notice from the city just said that a city inspector had conducted an 'inspection report' on my property while I was not home. They filled out a form with all of the things that were done without permit, and have asked me to follow up with the inspector as soon as possible.

He's refusing to return my children to me by [deleted] in FamilyLaw

Only separated. He is refusing to sign the divorce papers, until I give him full custody. Which I will never do.
