WTFarkityFarkFark is my ex on?Does he want me to sympathise with him?

[HerBeatitudeLittleBella]

I mean, WFT?

He sends me an e-mail on Wednesday telling me that the CSA have written to him tellnig him that he owes them £4,365 and as he's so short of money, it might as well be 4365 million. He was going to phone them on Thursday to find out what he could do, wish him luck.

So gobsmacked that I couldn't reply. Leaving aside that I think the figure is at least double, WTF does he want me to do? Sympathise with the fact that he's paid the grand total of about £70 in 8 years for the upkeep of his children? Bemoan how unfair the CSA is?

I am so fuming, I want to e-mail him back suggesting that if he went and got a job for the first time in 3 years, he might have the means of paying this debt and contributing the bare minimum to his children's lives (seeing as how he doesn't bother to be a positive role model or even an effing present role model for them). But I know it's probably a better option to vent here, than send him a stroppy e-mail...

[Leslaki]

You vent away here . i would probably email him back but after several practices and after I'd calmed down. Good luck!

[HerBeatitudeLittleBella]

God I don't think I can send him an e-mail I don't know what I can say to him. I don't want to condone his utter shitness at not supporting his children, but I don't want to engage in any argument, debate, or even communication with him.

Honestly, it was all so much easier when we had no contact whatsoever...

[Janos]

Not surprised you are fuming! Don't even bother replying, he probably trying to wind you up.

By all means write a stroppy email back telling him what a useless lowlife he is but don't send it.

[lou33]

i agree with janos, dont lower yourself to reply

it's so hard not to sometimes, but it wont make him see things differently, it will only give hima reason to start ranting at you

[NotPlayingAnyMore]

"wish him luck"? I'd laugh if it wasn't so enfuriating

"I don't want to condone his utter shitness at not supporting his children, but I don't want to engage in any argument, debate, or even communication with him."

Not replying does not = condoning. You don't need to express the disapproval to him which he's hoping to attract. Let the CSA deal with him.

[Janos]

Yes, he will be pleased he's 'got at' you if you reply. Don't give him the satisfaction!

He will be infiriated by your indifference.

[Janos]

I mean infuriated

My standard response to the bullshit my ex comes out with, and he is yet to find anything to say in response 'are you on fucking glue?!'
Not very helpful but you could try?!

[mamas12]

[harpsichordcarrier]

[tessofthedurbervilles]

Just remembered another impossible to respond to line.....if the person speaking is sat down talking rubbish 'stand up, your voice is muffled'
works everytime.
