Ex on Christmas Day

4 replies

We have a court order which said our DS aged 4 needed to be dropped at mine at 2pm on Christmas Day.

At 1pm, he messaged my dad claiming that his car was broken and he wouldn't drop him back. I phoned him and it was clear all his family were there and refused to drop him back. My ex claimed that they didn't have their cars.

Of course i picked him up and it's not about the travel, he's that once again, he just decides to be difficult on Christmas Day of all days and none of his family say anything about it. When I drove to their house, I backed up down a side road and saw that they'd all moved their cars down the adjacent road to hide them. I know my ex is a bastard but I just can't believe that none of his family or parents had any sense of decency, and didn't just enable him but actually went out of their way to hide their cars.

I just feel so angry that he's never able to put our son before his hatred towards me, even on Christmas Day. Needed to rant about this, it's really upset me.

Well done for getting away from the man child. Obviously next year when presumably you have ds then he will need to collect him from yours, sober of course.

Disgusting behaviour, did you tell him you'd seen all their cars? People can be awful, I hope you managed to enjoy your day in the end. ❤️

Can you go back to court in new year to ensure he doesn't get contact again in same terms as he broke the terms of the order. Keep screen shots of messages and photos of their cars.
