WTF is wrong with people....have some decency!

Yes time for me to vent about my EX........my kid flew out to go back and live with her today.....

So I get up this morning at 4:15 to put Dave on a flight so that he wont get back east too late and inconvenience anyone there. I get to the airport 2 hours early to make sure I get a pass to escort through security. I wait at the gate and talk to the kid about what to expect and stuff. I even give him cash just in case......then as soon as he takes off I call the other end to let them know he is on the way and also tell his mom a few other things. Mind you that for 2 years I have went out of my way to let her and her family talk to Dave damn near any ****ing time they wanted....including the last 2 days he was with me her talking to him for over 30 minutes a night<<<< WTF!!! Rude isnt it? Well, what do I expect in return.....nothing really. Well almost nothing but a little common courtesy. I expected that when he landed I would get a phone call letting me know everything is good to go. I even called while he was on the way to make sure they got to the airport ok and had no troubles to pick him up......YUP you guessed it, NO ****ING CALL! His plane landed almost an hour ago now so I think that is a reasonable amount of time for them to inform me that he was there.....I dont care how excited she is that he is coming back to her, This is so typical of her and I would be willing to bet, if I call him all the time, I will get the standard "This line is no longer in service" message. What a waste of good air she is. Let me guess her excuse will be that her phone was dead, she dropped it in the toilet and it fryed it, the phone fell and broke, she had no more minutes left, it was confiscated, or whatever other BS reason besides the fact that she is a worthless piece of ****. She got what she wanted.....a paycheck back. Now she can start going out again and not monitoring him and such. I guess thats what I get for doing the right thing and being a decent person to her. Wait the right thing would have been not to ever let him go back to that deadend town with a human leech on society. I knew this was coming but hoped she had actually turned over a new leaf. Next from her will be the phone call about how I abused the kid by punishing him while he was here........I see that coming already....Anything for her to be able to goto court and try to get more cash or someone to feel that she is getting a raw deal. I wont bring up the fact that when he came to me after 3rd grade that he had 3 pair of underwear, 2 pair of jeans, 5 pairs of socks and some see through mis-sized t shirts, also hand me down girls shoes from his oldest sister. Hmmm but I send him back with everything he needs. What about the fact that in 1 schoolyear there he was allowed to miss 22 schooldays, while here he missed 1 day in 2 years and that was from me holding him out to goto a NASCAR Race on a Monday. Maybe I wont bring up the fact that he could barely read and print when he came here let alone do math and now he is a solid B student that has off the chart reading, writing, and math scores from California testing.....Well I get what I deserve on this one. I knew this was coming. But on a good note, there is no tension in my house now, no fighing, no screaming, and no bitterness(Except me toward his mom of course...... )Well I am done now I had to get this off my chest. Sorry for the language, Thanks for listening.

When I transfer next year I will see him for a few days in April or May. Then who knows when after that...especially if I get the Hawaii orders, then I wont see him til at least 2013. So he will be 11 next spring when I go back that way and if I goto Hawaii he will be at least 14 the next time I see him.....pretty ****ty situation.


EDIT: Part of the original post was cutoff....it is there now.

OK Just got a call. GUESS WHAT........."she left her phone in the car so as not to have to deal with security, all she had on her was her smokes".....ummm what F-ing sense does that crap make....dont take your cell where you can use it, but take your smokes where you can not use them? Dumb people should be banished to the middle of a desert or Siberia.......

Gibs.....its good to vent (I should know). I'm here for ya if you ever want to vent. I didn't realize how ****ty it was when he came out to you. But I can tell you from what I saw, you did a great job in getting him straight. You should be proud of that. Hopefully, with the time he spent with you, he will take what he learned and use it to stay on course now he's back with his mom. At least you know he arrived safely. Took a while for the call at least you know he's there.

sorry to hear about the situation gibs... i too would be FURIOUS if i were in your shoes. couldn't imagine / don't wanna imagine him at 14 with a person you say his mom is. though it sounds like he has a head on his shoulders from his father, so he shouldn't stray down the path his mom laid out.

i hope the best for you and your son. :)

Damn Gibs,your ex sounds like a real piece of s**t ! I'd have to agree after seeing your son that you've done a damn good job and hopefully that will get him through her BS.

Thanks for the encouragement and nice remarks about him. I dont think he was all that well behaved yet, but he was getting there.

I will make sure I update with how this whole thing goes down in the next couple weeks. I am sure she will be just what I think she is soon.

I know she gets to you, but just remember, it is about him, not about her. So you suffer and put with her for his own good.

To many parents can't get along at all, so the kids suffer for it. You are a hell of a man for putting up with that for your kids sake.

So, I would just try to focus on him. Sounds like there is no changing her. Which it sounds like you have figured out.

It's down the road when he is full grown that all this pays off. You may not see it now, but trust me, it makes a difference.

I just wouldn't focus so much on her. You are doing the right thing.
