Okay so yesterday was a decent day I got my bone graft in the morning for my upper jaw I stayed home all day and hung out I was feeling good which is a major outlier considering what's happening in my situation feel free to read my previous posts. I pick my stbx up from work I take her to Wendy's to get a sandwich I pick up my kids from school we're at home for a half an hour and she can't find a ride back so I drop her off at work and she makes a comment that she's not coming home tonight and I don't know where she's going to be. I say just for safety sake what if I have to contact you what if your phone dies what if somebody comes home and I need to be able to tell them where you are and she treated me like a marionette of the Mind and reiterated that I didn't need to know she's been banging other guys on and off for the last year so this is just a huge passive aggressive fuck you to me with our children in the backseat my nine-year-old hears what she is saying and starts crying. I am able to hold it together for maybe a half an hour before I send her a text message barrage, the conclusion of which is an outline for a separation agreement and I tell her I'm finally done and I feel I have emancipated myself from this evil vindictive bitch who I have loved and supported for 11 years and she cheats on me and then tortures me about it. Well I am done. Small victory aside maybe two days ago we get this new neighbor and he looks like a shady piece of shit he's got a stud implant just below his eye of like a little diamond or cubic zirconia, ripped jeans,holes and his old sweatshirt and we're both smoking cigarettes at the end of our complex he talks about how he's always fighting with his baby mama because he can't stop drinking and I'm telling him that my soon-to-be ex has been stepping out on me and I'm going to have to leave her even though it also means leaving my kids who I love more than life itself but I just can't take this abuse anymore his name is Dante I say I like The Inferno he laughs and says yep. So here we are two days later I've just told my wife off. After I did her a series of favors after everything and then she still fires a verbal torpedo at me and boy did it hit. So I go to bed with my kids in an empty house and everything is cool midnight rolls around and I get this five to seven second doorbell RIng and I live in an apartment that has one of those obnoxious step on a cat tail sounding doorbells so I jumped out of bed I come to the living room and there's my wife standing at the front door but our doorbell is downstairs in front of the front door I groggily said "what you didn't have your key? you're already in the house"and she said it wasn't me. So I go downstairs and its this scumbag Dante, he had followed my wife home who is a hundred and five pounds and absolutely defenseless other than her forked tongue. But this guy saw her walk home alone at night and came after her. I'm like dude it's midnight what's up? He's like oh I didn't know you were here I was just coming to check on you (contradiction)and he is obviously tweaked-out, glassy eyes, jittery he's craning his neck trying to look in my window I think he's on meth not that I have any experience with this but if he was drunk he would just be sloppy and slow this guy was highly agitated I say "no man I still live here" he goes oh okay and trots away. I go upstairs and tell my wife if you ever see that fucking guy again call the cops immediately and she said oh I don't want to make trouble. She'll threaten to call the cops on me for fucking nothing but she won't call the cops when her life and our children are in danger? Her judgment is compromised is the biggest understatement of the fucking new millennium. This guy saw her come home alone and came looking for her, if she had answered the door she would be getting raped in our living room and my son would come up to see why is Mommy screaming and crying and this guy would say no Witnesses and then I would get a call from the cops about this crazy violent rape murder scene and all the valuables are gone from the house because some dick head piece of shit on crystal meth didn't raise any red flags on my dumb ass fucking wife. Now don't get me wrong I am angry at her for how she has betrayed me but she is still the mother of my children and I do not wish any harm upon her, we just have to be two adults who have to deal with each other for the rest of our lives because of our younger special needs son and I have come to accept that and I am way less depressed having made that realization. So no joke hours after I make the decision to start packing my shit and leave, a wolf comes sniffing around the chicken coop or our chicks are sleeping feet away and Henny Penny the fucking moron almost let the wolf into the hen house thank God I was here. This guy had way different motives then just looking for a late-night hookup this guy was obviously up to no good and I filed a report with my local police department the following morning which is today. But now I know a predator lives just across the street and our lease is not up until July and I'm just going to have to deal with this vicious bitch reminding me she's fucking all these other guys for the safety of my children because as much as she is killing me, I cannot abandon them for the shall we say questionable Judgment of my dumb ass wife. I'm just going to have to ride this shit out for another half year and when we go our separate ways I move in with my dad she'll move in with her dad and at least I know the kids will sleep in a safe place but holy fucking shit A Scarlet Crimson flag was shoved up her ass and she still doesn't get how much danger her and our kids were in. she thinks I'm being dramatic and this fucked up guy came knocking on our door at midnight and she thought nothing of it. Frankly I suspect she is on drugs too but this guy just moved in and he is not her dealer or her pimp or her hook up she doesn't even know him yet and that much I do know. But she is way too comfortable around deranged scumbags and I have children to think about. this is what being a dad is you have to be tough and you have to sacrifice and deal with whatever you have to deal with to make sure your children are safe every day every night. these next six months are going to suck but I obviously can't leave them alone with her, the freaking idiot almost let a wolf into our house
B) can't you get custody? Document these times she doesn't come home, this behavior actually strengthens your case..she's proving herself to be an unfit mother. Judges don't like the parents who don't come home.
C) honestly it sounds like you're making excuses to stay living with her..taking her to lunch, picking her up, dropping her off..this behavior is going to keep you stuck. You're being used. Kids or no kids she's got you wrapped. You need to get away from her and stop living together. Even after 6 months then what? You going to monitor who she dates? She is who she is. She's going to date (obviously) but so will you. Chances are you'll make better choices with regards to who meets your kids but she's their mom and you're not going to be able to control her life after you. Once you separate it becomes clearer and you're not in the relationship fog anymore..it's what finally made me not give a shit about my ex anymore. Kids are resilient and they know who the sane parent is.
