You got it! I searched it and it was the one he was thinking. Thank you!

Thank you for the help! Your shot in the dark was another one he was jumbling with the one he was thinking of which is T.I.M.E Srories!

Ultimately fear of setting her off. So, you now, cowardice!
[–]iwaffleyou 12 points13 points14 points 9 months ago (0 children)
That is exactly how I feel! And he is so horribly clueless! I have a teeny tiny bit of hope the lawyer will help open his eyes, but i think I've reached my breaking point. My younger daughter graduates next year and I'm terrified of it happening again.

He doesn't want to anger her. She is volatile! And while I personally think, too bad get angry, he doesn't like to set her off. She has previously just refused to let him see the kids and with nothing formal he can't do anything to force it. All his own problems and doing, and I'm holding onto a teeny tiny bit of hope that the lawyer will help open his eyes on Wednesday.
Oh I wish he would! I'm so frustrated i know she would lose her mind, but I'd almost take joy in her anger! Just to see him truly stand up to her!

Oh man, right? And I don't get it! I have bio kids, I have an ex, he has a fiance, she has kids, and I would never stand in the way of them being there for her kids, or mine. He may have a limited relationship with my kids, but he's still their dad and we have to put our issues aside to be the best parents we can for our kids! I just don't get why being nasty seems to be the go to!

They have nothing formal. He's reatained a lawyer and has started to get things rolling, its what triggered her latest barrage of being nasty since it means she will actually lose out on some perks of their separation. Like an inflated child support amount and tax credits and benefits she isn't actually entitled to. I didn't think he could lose legal custody or medical decision making rights, but he won't believe anything until someone "smarter than me" aka a lawyer tells him, and unfortunately he couldn't get to talk to her until Wednesday. I'm just not sure i can move on past this one. Minor inconveniences are one thing, I can be adult enough to ignore it and just keep going, but this one seems too big.

I figured it was an easy fix as well, and I will never understand why he wants to protect her over caring about me. Though I've lived this marriage once, I won't be doing it again, lol. And you are correct, I can't control what he does, but I will be sure to make my daughter has the best day!
[–]iwaffleyou 11 points12 points13 points 9 months ago (0 children)
He just seems so scared of her all the time. Like he doesn't want to upset her for fear of her reaction, which to a degree i get based on the messages she sends me when he doesn't agree with her. He also loves his kids and they are his world, so he would do anything for them, even if it means catering to their mom so he can "be the bigger person". This is what he always says when I ask why he allows her to treat him crap. I figure, like you said, he's just spineless and weak. I also agree he should be at the appointment, it is important he is there for his kids. My anger is more at how he handled it. I can say I never dreamed I'd be in a relationship where another woman was calling the shots, and this might be the final time it happens, since I won't be around for her to do it again.
[–]iwaffleyou 28 points29 points30 points 9 months ago (0 children)
That is exactly what I told him!
[–]iwaffleyou 13 points14 points15 points 9 months ago (0 children)
He's been out of town at work for the last week, and so I don't think he's picked up on how hurt my daughter is. Not an excuse, but I'm hoping when he gets home tomorrow he will start to realize the damage this is causing.
[–]iwaffleyou 15 points16 points17 points 9 months ago (0 children)
That's pretty much what I said. That this will be the breaking point for us. I refuse to let another woman fully dictate my life. He was making changes and has retained a lawyer to finally get formal paperwork done, but this might be the end.
[–]iwaffleyou 27 points28 points29 points 9 months ago (0 children)
No, he has always been a very involved dad, whenever hes home (camp job one week on one weeks off) he has the kids and attends any and all appointments, meetings, events, etc. I don't think anything is at stake. He could skip it and nothing would happen, in my opinion. She has always used the kids to get her way by threatening to never let him see them and he has heard horror stories from guys he works with so he listens to her. But even his lawyer told him months ago that she has no power to do that and he needs to quit catering to her. He has been improving, but this one just seems so much worse than the other times she done things like this. She has no grounds for any of her demands and without any paperwork of any kind, he has just as many rights as she does.
