Evening all, thank you for lovely posts as ever 
acat...funny you should say that about "Jeffrey", WWK and I had this very conversation because on the hijacked Twitter page Jeffrey uses, he has mentioned Mr WT's actual name (although not sure that is a secret, he did indeed introduce himself as such with his first post on here). We decided he didn't have the wherewithal. I don't think he's Jeffrey. It would interrupt with his nap, drinking and watching TV time far too much. How I would love to send a journal of DS's daily activities. Just farting and burping would take at least 3,000 e-mails

Darnley, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your amazing advice, I will keep in touch via PM for obvious reasons, but am doing just as you say. No, he doesn't get it and never will. Wish he would though

Across, you have the kindest heart...I wish that were true. I think H might have the odd pang but OW? Not a hope. She is only concerned with how things impact her. She doesn't even give a shit about her own child because if she did, my husband wouldn't be living with him but that is her problem, not mine.
Ptumbi...that did make me laugh and indeed WWK has done herself proud in terms of her ex-twat. I know it doesn't feel like it for her a large part of the time, but she has and I am very proud, as you are 
DoorToTheRiver you're so right, he could have done a lot of things very differently and I would have been more than happy to have at least tried to get on an even keel with it all. He wouldn't though. So now, he can fuck off. He's proved himself for what he is and will pay the price.
WWK not entirely sure what I would do without you. You know I love you loads, however, I think your babysitting skills are shit as you failed to prevent the doorknob assaulting my son. I'm keeping records y'know...
[will never serve you Quorn again] 
Jengnr...hello! I am not sure if you're a lurker or a post-Hackergate name changer but I don't recognise you so thank you for stopping by
. Unfortunately, he has sacked his solicitor for about the 10th time. She is lovely, she really is. I can't understand why she has allowed herself to be re-instructed by him over and over again. She knows what he's like, she wasn't particularly complimentary to the solicitor I had in the early days (ie : glad to see the back of him, nightmare client, always moving the goalposts). He lied to her from the outset, he wrote utter shit in the initial divorce papers served on me (and she didn't check and was a bit shocked when I rang her), he didn't tell her he'd had an affair and was living with OW, all things that changed the situation entirely. I've lost count of solicitors now, there have been so many. Perhaps if he spent less on alcohol, food, entertainment and paying for somebody's else's bloody kid rather than his own, we'd be able to resolve some things via a few letters. His call, but I won't have direct contact with him, ever.
Scrambled...indeed...painfully frustrating!
Anyway, kids and I are off for the weekend to visit friends we haven't seen since DS was a baby. I am a bit apprehensive as it's a place he's not stayed before and know that I am probably not in for a peaceful weekend, however, a change of view will be very welcome. DS doesn't do well away from home although he is OK-ish at my cousin's house as long as either me or DD are sleeping with him. Will just have to see and if it gets too much, we'll come home. The friends we are staying with are so disappointed with H, although they were the first to say, after he left and affair was discovered, that they always knew something was very wrong with him but didn't want to say as I clearly adored him. I wish they had. Might have saved deluded me from myself 
Yesterday we went to the Natural History Museum. DS did very well with that, aside from the odd break to line up cars from his backpack. We left when it was obvious that the smallish meltdowns might increase. I went with a friend who is so lovely and patient with him and without her, we might not have been able to do that trip. Prob won't do it again though 
I should also say that I am so bloody proud of DD's GCSE results which I hadn't mentioned before. They exceeded all expectations given she had a breakdown and missed 3 months of school. She is also about to start working in London, a job that will see her through for Saturdays and holidays. I am sat here listening to her resetting the shower. Her wanker stepfather put the shower on a timer so she couldn't stay in there for very long. She's got bum length hair that takes a lot of time to wash yet he used to bang on the door and shout at her for being in there for more than 10 minutes. WHY did I not see his abuse? It's a bloody shower and if she wants to be in there for half an hour, she can. I am so glad for the peace in our house now. I really fear for OW's son in the future, because I know what's coming for him. OW is an utterly deluded twat.
Finally...I really must post up the "options" letter in terms of future contact...would be glad of opinions. Will do that early next week.
Hope everybody has a lovely bank holiday weekend, I am off to do 11 pm ironing and packing...KOKO
