I posted yesterday about ExP's other half dictating when they were taking DS on holiday.

Thanks to all of you for your views and advice but now I need more please. No family to discuss this with in RL so I really value support I get here.

ExP phoned me today to tell me he had received my letter - (Yesterday I sent him some info that I got from new parents evening at nursery school and a very civil letter requesting that they take DS's starting date into consideration when booking holiday and email me with response please).

He tried to put her on phone again but I managed to insist I deal only with him and by email. He pushed and pushed to have the conversation there and then, used emotional blackmail to attempt to get me to do so, but I said no.

He did get as far as saying he did not agree with my choice of "crap" school (he agreed before, we managed a face to face meeting about it and it's not crap either) and that DS has the chance to go to same independent school as OH's DC's for free. He followed this up with a text telling me I would be denying DS a great opportunity if I said no and I needed to call him at 5pm to discuss! I said no, email me and he then claimed his email was down. So I said write me a letter. So now I've got to wait for that.

They want to undermine my every effort and move. Of course they don't give a shit about holiday dates because they're intent on a different school. Their school would be "free" because she would pay (I'm pretty sure on this - she's minted, he has nothing). They've had their own agenda all along.

I emailed solicitor yesterday and called today but she hasn't called back yet -really poor - so will get onto this tomorrow.

..but wtf?

Now he's involving her (OH) to the extent that he will condone her paying school fees for DS.

WWYD folks? - sorry its so long and boring but I'm drained. And thanks for reading this rant.
