Ok I',m mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!!!! X was supposed to have son for the entire month of Aug,( I had him all of July) but is just picking and chosing what days he has wants, leaving me to deal with a kid who is disappointed or mad at his Dad, I know its not son's fault by I am feeling like a door mat at the moment. Seems everytime I makes any plans he drops son off for a buisness trip ,concert, what ever floats his boat. He has yet to do anything with son. I don't mind son being here at all, but like to night I went and got stuff for dinner X calls and says he will be there in 20minutes to pick him up, son,says if he doesn't go Dad will get mad,(which he will, that or make son feel guilty)
I know don't let it get to me but some days it really does and today is one of those days..
P.S. his support check bounced again.. Felt good to vent.

I don\'t have children, but I can appreciate the added stress added, worrying about your child and dealing with the X. Good news is that it\'s only for a few more years and not forever. All you can do is vent, you have no control over your idiot X.
MY STBX WAS HORRIBLE TO OUR SON AND REMAINS HORRIBLE TO THIS DAY. I HAVE NOT SEEN COURT ORDERED SPOUSAL SUPPORT IN OVER 2 YEARS. WE JUST FINISHED TRIAL, I\'M HOPING THE JUDGE\'S RULING HUMBLES STBX\'S MEAN SPIRITED SOUL. IN THE MEANTIME, KEEP YOUR SON CLOSE TO YOU. THE MORE TIME DAD LOSES WITH YOUR SON, THE MORE TIME YOU GAIN WITH HIM, DON\'T LET HIM SEE THAT YOU ARE ANGRY WITH HIS FATHER..ENJOY YOUR SON AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BECAUSE THEY GROW UP QUICK. WHEN YOUR SON IS OLDER, BELIEVE ME, HE\'LL LOOK BACK AND REMEMBER YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE FOR HIM.
