Received a text this morning telling me that he's going for "full custody" of Ds as I've flouted lockdown rules for the second time that he knows of by having a visitors in the house.

He's contacting a solicitor this afternoon.

I.cannot.Stop.Laughing.

My Ds is 18 next week Grin

Oh god, he's such a twat. I really, really hope he does speak to a solicitor this afternoon about custody of someone who will be an adult in ten days time. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that.

I've had thirteen years of this shit since we separated. He's never let up.

(For those interested, in April he was on the phone to Ds. Ds came to ask me something and he had to wait a second while I finished my conversation. His father heard another woman's voice in the room and reported me to the police for having someone in the house. That woman was my independent midwife over for my 28 week check and blood tests).

This time, he was talking to Ds online, the door went and I shouted to Ds to get it as I was changing the baby. He told his dad he just had to open the door for someone. He went mental again, hence the text. Oh and no one came in this time, it was FIL dropping off a some pain meds for Dh, all socially distanced, he dropped them at the door and said hi to ds from the end of the drive. No rules broken either time).

God let him waste his money 😂 what a knob.

I’ve got a similar XH. I just smile and nod.

Sounds like he will be having a productive conversation 😁

Hazelnutlatteplease · 16/11/2020 12:32

I'm amazed your DS still wants contact

🤣🤣🤣

AuntieMarys · 16/11/2020 12:32

Love it! I blocked mine a year ago, and it has been bliss.

Nicknacky · 16/11/2020 12:33

He does sound like a twat and did on the other thread but why don’t you just block him?

WankPuffins · 16/11/2020 12:34

@Hazelnutlatteplease

I'm amazed your DS still wants contact
He actually only goes to stay a few times a year since he was about 14, his choice.

That has cheered me up!! I'm sorry you've had to deal with it though. What an utter dickwad.

WankPuffins · 16/11/2020 12:36

@Nicknacky I've always tried to keep things friendly on my end for Ds sake. I never retaliate or argue. I just let him have his little tantrums.

What a tool!

Whatsnewpussyhat · 16/11/2020 12:37

Well in 10 days time you can block the fucker as your son will be legally an adult so zero need for him to contact you again.

Have you told DS that his dad wants full custody? Grin

ILoveYoga · 16/11/2020 12:39

Does any legal obligation to have anything to do with your ex cease when your DS turns 18?

If id dues, I’m sure you’ll be having a double celebration on DS 18th.

WankPuffins · 16/11/2020 12:41

Ha, not told him yet!

I did do back in April when he told me that he'd reported me to the police and that he was going to go for custody. He didn't mention a solicitor that time though Grin

I know he's not going to see one really. He's a bright man in charge of lots of big and important things. If he is serious it's really bloody worrying.

He just tries to wind me up but it never works. He's been trying for 13 years. But this is the best one yet.

Would love to be a fly on the wall at his solicitors appointment GrinGrin

WankPuffins · 16/11/2020 12:42

@ILoveYoga I've always tried to keep things okay on my end for Ds. I don't want him to be in an awkward position if he gets married one day or has kids.

Hahaha! You're right, I enjoyed that. What an utter dickhead Grin
Well done for rising above it, all credit to you.

Fluffycloudland77 · 16/11/2020 12:48

Has he forgotten his birthday?.

LaurieFairyCake · 16/11/2020 12:50

You must send 3 laughing face emojis to him

Will drive the twat MENTAL

Veterinari · 16/11/2020 12:51

I'd be tempted to message back pointing out the obvious flaw in his plan:
'Custody? For someone who'll be a legal adult in 10 days? Good luck!'

I appreciate you keeping things civil but I think reflecting his own stupidity back on him is reasonable

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 16/11/2020 12:53

Tell him your little boy will be happy to drive him to the solicitors office for the custody meeting Grin !

Audreyseyebrows · 16/11/2020 12:53

Amazing! Does he know how old ds is?

OhCaptain · 16/11/2020 12:54

Surely he's forgotten his own son's age? Custody for an 18 year old! Grin
