Manic Monday
Today started off with kids fighting and bickering. Dropped them off at school - sigh…. Decided to go home and pick up the lunch I left on the counter (Zippy’s Spaghetti, yum) but ended up locking my keys in the car in the process. Twenty minutes before I start work. Well, I was in quite a pickle with no one to save me at that moment. Luckily, I live close to work so I began walking, quickly enough to get there soon but not so fast to be a drenched, sweaty mess once I arrived.
The kids’ dad went by our apartment today, supposedly to drop off something. He noticed my car in the parking lot and then when I wasn’t at home, decided I must be up to all sorts of mischief. So he left mean messages on my voicemail all day. Now that he’s gotten it out of his system he’s finally leaving me alone.
He is so completely irritating. I’m fed up with him badgering the kids about who I spend time with or talk to or whatever. I’m tired of him telling me that someone would only be nice to me to get certain favors in return. I can’t stand it when he flaunts stories of what he’s doing with his early twenty-ish little girlfling to “make me jealous”. I hate it when he calls me names and says things that he knows will hurt me so deeply then turn around and tell me I’m the love of his life and that he will do anything to get me back. News Bulletin - being an a** is not going to get me back.
Well, enough venting. Tomorrow is a new day. I need to stop answering his calls.

Loren, I don’t know what to say. I was in love with Mark for many years. Blinded and made a fool of. Only a couple of months ago, I woke up and saw the light. Part of me wanted to think our love could change him but it did not.
When I finally was strong like you are now, I still continued to talk and be friendly with him. I didn’t want to end in a harsh way. It wasn’t to be. He threaten my life. End of story. It is not wise to continue having contact with your ex. Find a moderator for your children to continue their relationship with their father. End yours and move on. You local Family Services can help.

Caller ID is a good thing. Get one and block all unlisted calls that way you’ll know to let the voicemail pick up his calls. But then he’ll drive to your apartment and you’ll probably have to end up dealing with him in person. That might be worse - ACK!
You could pretend you have another call coming in and put him on hold - for a very LONG time. *heh heh*

My heart goes out to you. Stay strong and immerse yourself with the people who cares about you.
