Ds was planning to visit his dad at some point over Christmas. Looking at trains last night, they were absolutely extortionate and for two days, inc 10 hour travel time, it wasn’t worth the price.

Ex h has gone mental. Sent me a text last night saying that as I chose to move so far away from him, it’s my responsibility, and I should bring ds to him for contact. I have to drive him or pay the train fare. He’s going to “take advice” on next steps.

Ds is 22 years old. Yes, twenty-two. Not two. A grown man.

Has his own job, didn’t know when his leave would be until last night so couldn’t plan in advance, and to be honest, he’s a grown arse adult who is working Christmas Day anyway and what he does with his free time and his money is no longer any of my business.

I am wondering on what these next steps will be? Solicitor, perhaps? Or maybe he will go for full custody? I mean, ds lives with his girlfriend now, so I presume it’s her he would take to court, not me? Or perhaps their landlord? Who knows!

Oh and I know I’ll get asked why he still has my contact details. It’s because, every so often, he will do something batshit like this and honestly, I find it hilarious. When ds was 18, he said he was going to court for full custody and was contacting solicitors as ds didn’t want to go to uni, so this is nothing new, the man is just a fucking idiot. I tell him to let me know how it goes and then ignore him.

I'm afraid fuckwittery can skip generations, my son aged 18, and living with his mum / my ex. Contacted me furious that his mum had changed his bedroom round and therefore made him effectively homeless. Using the same logic as an employer redefining your job to something you didnt want to do, therefore effectively forcing them to resign.

Behind every judgy post like this is a woman clinging to the incorrect belief that any shitty man can be spotted early on if women just look hard enough, abd that therefore any woman who gets burned by a shitty man is at some level to blame. Naturally, the judgy poster thinks that she's smart enough to look hard enough so therefore she's safe from men who will hurt her. She will shit on other women to cling to this hope that she won't be hurt by her husband.

Newsflash: you aren't safe. No woman, other than possibly lesbians and nuns, is safe. Surely the Pelicot case has proved that now?

Edited

👏 I hope this poster never meets my sons father!

He literally lied and hid who he was and what he was about, until one day he literally left to go to work and never returned, left me and his then 2 year old to work in another country, I thought it was me until I found his ex ( whom he was saying to me she had moved on, disappeared and refused him to see his son with her) who told me she was in the uk, not stopping access, but he literally disappeared, just cut her dead and their child out of his life ( which coincided with when he got with me ) and he did the same to her and another woman in Mozambique!

The man is crazy and does this like it’s a sport and both myself and the Ex didn’t get any “inkling” he was an immoral lying twat! He was actually a good father and provider when he was around, he always used to say teary eyed that he missed his other son and didn’t know where he was, even my mum felt so sorry for him so I didn’t think for one moment he would do anything like this, especially as we were together for years, not weeks or months but years.

His parents did know he was crazy but as he was an only child to a close Italian family ( the family live in Italy ) they just ignored this thing of him impregnating women in all the countries he worked in and they now have many grandchildren of all different ethnicities and all this from a high earning, well respected, educated, civil engineer!

when I was reading the OP I was going to reply saying she was dead wrong to move and not assist in getting him there and why leave it so late and then I saw the age and was in stitches 😂😂😂

wow, just wow. So we don't need to ask why he is your ex...sounds like a dumb ass 😂. This makes great reading btw.

VegTrug · 19/12/2024 20:58

When he said he was going for ‘full custody’ of your 18yr old, did you not point out the obvious to him!?!? What did he say then?

Mittleme · 19/12/2024 21:02

Don't blame you . I think I can say from experience that such men are best ignored to be quite honest . They are not worth your time of the day 😀

Brutalass · 19/12/2024 21:06

Oh you must be constantly entertained, exhausted, but entertained!

I was moderately concerned until you said your son was 22! FFS your ex is a complete moron. I'm not convinced what he's trying to achieve here apart from convince everyone concerned that he is a complete dick! In which case, congratulations, he has met his objective!

I fear he's not going to make many friends or influence many people acting like a complete arse - but hey, please keep us in the loop - he's hugely entertaining. He'd get on wonderfully with my MIL! ;)

Nah, I never engage. I just let him have his little tantrums. Still waiting to hear about that, 4 years on too!

Your post has cheered me up today. My ex text me last week. He wants all his late mothers belongings that she gave me. She passed away 11 years ago and we've been separated 10 years. Christmas always gives him a reason to find something pick at.

Your ex sounds like a loony arsehole, but what age was the DS when you moved away from the ex? If he was still a dependent this is a bit of a dick move tbh. It's attempting to sabotage him having a relationship with his dad, and to my mind is on the same moral level as separated parents trash-talking each other to the children.
I'm sure people will ask "So should women not be able to move away from their exes?" and the answer is, morally, no they shouldn't.

Are you ok?

Just wondering......he can't always have been such a nob otherwise you wouldnt have married him......surely ?
What was he like when DS was little ?

He was totally normal. Well, apart from shagging work colleagues. But that didn’t start until ds was 3. He spiralled into pit of absolute batshittery and turned into a massive dickhead over night when I left him. Bruised ego, I think. Although, he was really easy to divorce, it was the least hassle ever. I’ve had more difficulties buying cars. So weird.

He lured you into a false sense of security 🤣 making you think the easy divorce would = easy divorced life, but nope some 10 years on he’s throwing crazy ass bombs your way but you seem pretty tooled up with amour now so just let him keep throwing them…it will eventually end at some point be it 1 year, 5 years or 30 years from now 😅😋

Mydogisamassivetwat · 19/12/2024 21:33

I’ve just looked back at my texts to him over the years. It goes:

Him: Long ranty message
me: “let me know how it goes”

tumbleweed for 12 months

Him: Long ranty message
me: “okay”

tumbleweed for 12 months …

on and on like that for years 🤣

GET THE HINT, TWAT.

What made me laugh was your son's age.

I can kind of understand why a father would be hurt that his son didn't make more of an effort for Christmas though, but maybe your son would have if his father was a different type of person.

I'm glad you've found the humour in it over the years 😂

Morally, no they shouldn't? What if they need to move because of better financial reasons, educational or medical reasons, to be closer to family and friends happy and willing to help you now that you're a single parent, what if the ex is abusive... I think your moral compass is shoved somewhere the sun doesn't shine!

DungareesAndTrombones · 19/12/2024 22:19

OP you are my hero! I can only hope to disengage so much with my cunt of an ex who boils my piss to steam.

Hope the police don't visit tomorrow to read you your rights!!

Daisy12Maisie · 19/12/2024 22:24

Hilarious thread.

A story of mine was...he used to ring the children in a Tuesday. They hated it as they hated talking on the phone. I asked if he could visit them instead but the answer was no. I made the kids answer the phone on a Tuesday although it was a battle.
I had to work some evenings and my mum babysat. I asked him to look after them but he said no. He didn't want to actually see them or be helpful he just wanted to call them which they hated. He knew that my mum was deaf and the kids would just refuse to answer the phone if they weren't made to.
I suggested he rang them on a different evening that week when I wasn't working so I could make sure they answered the phone. He refused.

So I finished work at 11pm and had 60 missed calls and abusive texts because my deaf mum had not answered the phone when he called and the children had taken the opportunity to ignore their mobiles. I got a court letter about that.

Now they are older and one doesn't even live at home he still messages occasionally to ask me to get the older one to answer the phone. There is literally nothing I can do if they don't want to talk to him on the phone. I only live with the younger one now so I can't force the older one to answer the phone when he doesn't want to.
