Toad's Solicitor phoned me at home unannounced after hours this evening

[Karenthetoadslayer]

I thought this would call for a new thread.

As I was preparing the children's dinner, the phone rang and guess who it was? Toad's solicitor, to have a chat about contact.

I am a friendly and polite person, also was in shock, so I complied and explained to him the children's views on their father.

DS thought I was 'cool'. .

You never know what will happen at the moment.

You are too polite.
I'd just ignore it.
Or just reply NO

So we're at Thursday, he's still not pinned you down on your plans for Christmas and yet oddly there's no mention of burly policemen and handcuffs.... ?

All this "no room at the inn" stuff is only going to increase his Messiah complex isnt it?

Just a thought, the hotel that my husband works at is open over Xmas and H is working Xmas day. He could stay there and I can personally guarantee bogeys in his sprouts and dog shit in his Xmas pudding

Yeah, instead of a tent, it should have been a

think this through logically...what hotel in this universe is going to kick out paying guests over Christmas? What hotel would kick out a loyal guest who spends a fortune every month and is living at the hotel...it make no financial sense for a business to do this. Hotels are open for business over Christmas, lots of them do big christmas lunches and parties.

I spy a little porky pie.

I agree Fanny. This is a not very good attempt at trying to get back into the house at which point he will refuse to leave. Also a nice way of finding out if Karen is going to be away at any point so he can go through the place at leisure, picking up any items he fancies on the way.

arf at Bogey's messiah complex post. And I like Lweji's tent.

Of course he's lying. That's what he does!

I love all this 'no room at the inn'.

I should have sent back an image of a stable.

Tell him that WWK's tosser knows of a very good caravan that he could probably use over the festive period.

'I'll be on my best behaviour, no need to worry about conduct.'

Upcoming gin shortage in this part of the country, too, WWK.

Yes, tigga they are 'brothers in arms' or whatever.

but hes not really stable, is he?

He is very stably abusive.
Doesn't change much in that respect.

Away in a Manger, The Toad has no bed
"Let me come home for the Yuletide" he said
"You're joking?!" said Karen "No rooms at the inn?
Well not a chance dickhead, there ain't enough gin!"

His temper is blowing, he is raising the stakes
But Toadslaying Karen, no crying she makes
"You're not the Lord Jesus, and you're not a saint
You're homeless at Xmas? My problem it aint!"

"Far from me and my kids I ask you to stay
The court thinks you're mental and they're right I say
It may be Xmas and the world may be well
But I ask you dear Toadface to please go to hell"

We are 'making progress'.

Update: He has spoken to a child psychologist and told her all about me. She is very concerned and is keen to meet with me to put me right on Toad's parenting and his relationship with the children. .

The world according to Toad.

I am glad that the children are of an age where they can express their own views.

I am also glad that I have still got all my recordings of how he spoke to the children, so we can all sit down with a cup of tea and listen to these together.

Thereafter, we can discuss my misled opinion regarding Toad's relationship with the children.

Bogey.

I am going to need a drink.

He is soooooooooooooooooooooo delusional.

Does he function in the real world at work?

Right-o and is she sufficient distance away from anyone you might have 'contaminated' with your views?

What happens if the children tell her what they remember of Toad? What does Toad do then?

More of the same?

Take you to court?

I still can't understand why he hasn't just taken you to court in the first place. I would take someone to court to enforce my rights. Oh, hang on...

To an extent, Random. He is completely capable of controlling himself when he has to and he can also be very pleasant, obviously.

I did find him charming at the time, all these years ago. I would not have got engaged to the Toad as I know him today.

He is a professional dickhead. He knows how to present himself.

No, she is right next door in the very centre of all evil and close to the 'architect of the crusade' against him, otherwise referred to as SHL.

Option B: Take me to court.

'Dear DCs, your lovely dad really misses you and he wants to give you some Easter eggs. (He still insists to give the DCs the Easter eggs they refused at Easter). You either accept the f* Easter eggs and agree that your mum is an evil witch who has influenced Social Services, the Family Court, several psychologists, Relate, WA and DD's teacher or you will never ever get any more Christmas presents nor any Easter Eggs, because daddy will have no other choice but to take this evil witch to court which is going to cost £30,000 and mummy will have to pay for this, because it is clear that she is guilty of contempt of Toad. ' or something like this.

Priceless re the hotel … I presume you can check online whether it is open or not.
Does Toad not have friends? Or family? Did he not consider any of this?
No child psychologist worth a grain of salt will make any comments without seeing and hearing the children. They are of an age when they are to be believed.
Have a gin or two and send a couple of emails - a tent, a caravan, a stable pic and ask him to take his pick.
I don't think you can get done for being facetious … or at least I've never been

'Architect of the deceitful crusade' were Toad's exact words.

I would have thought that being guilty of contempt of Toad was something for you to be proud of

For entertainment value, it reminds me of the time ex told me that I was going against the judge's ruling in not allowing contact on his terms with DS. I had to remind him that the judge had decided that I had the last word on contact, effectively. Ah!
Shooting in all directions.
