This past fall the ex called and wanted to talk to me in person so we met in a public location to "talk" Well he was angry about BF punishing our youngest and he began screaming at me in the parking lot telling me that he was not going to return my boys and all the usually stuff they tend too threaten. Needless to say someone heard him and called the police ( i could have crawled under the car of embarssement when 4 yes 4 police crusiers pulled into the paking lot) Any way after all the commotion and letting them know that I was ok and all was taken care of I told them that I did not want to file charges against him (they still filled out a report to keep on file and if it happened again it would not be pleasant for him)
OK now that you are a little updated on that... dropped youngest off at tutoring ran a couple of errands and returned to Sylvan pulled in and yippee the ex is there. He walks over to my truck to talk to the oldesst and that is fine I just sit there and don't say anything Until he begins talking about baseball practice so I pipe in and ask him when he is going to be able to get the bat bag to me (he still had it from last year) he informed me that he would be at practice on Monday he is helping coach(yippee I will never know what is going on since the coach seems to think he doesn't have to tell me anything he just expects the ex to tell me that is funny he doesn't tell me crap) anyway in the conversation I ask if he isn't going to return the bag then can I at least have my glove back. Needless to say for some reason he became loud and rude so I just looked at him and told him to get the hell away from my truck he informed me I wasn't going to talk to him like that so I just repeated get the F*** away from my truck at this point he informed me that he is documenting all of this. i told him all of what that you are interfering with MY time with the boys or how about documenting the fact that he is suppose to get them 2 evenings a week and hasn't done that since my work schedule changed last July (I don't currently work evenings so he no longer picks them up at the sitter) Needless to say my fiance' pulled in and he shut right up and walked away. Good thing I guess he was begining to get a little loud it was just a matter of time before someone called the police again.

Who the hell does he think he is? He is no longer my boss and has no business trying to tell me what to do. Document what? I did nothing wrong. I told him to get away from MY truck. Needless to say fiance' was not happy and wanted to have a few words with him but refranined from it. He maintains control very well because he never confronts him he says he is just waiting for the ex to screw up and say something in front of him or even better to him.

Thanks for letting me vent again

What a 'to do'. Yeekes. I'm still freaken out over the 4 police cars.

Although, I will say, I'm glad you stood your ground. But, Take it down a couple of notches around him. You've got to be the bigger person here. Let him continue to make an ass out of himself. If you need to scream the 'f' word, do it here with us. Use us to blow off steam.

Please hang in there. Jo

I am trying to hang in there. Belive it or not I am not one to let the F word fly. But I had gotten extremely mad but don't worry I will try very hard to only vent it here.
As for the police cars it was him yelling I kept telling him to please calm down but he just wouldn't listen.
Thanks you for listening you are great

Yep, it sounds like he is a big, loud pain! Why does he need to be present at tutoring? It's not his time. It's not like it is a performance that the kid is having.
It's sounds like he is irresponsible if he kept baseball stuff that long. Do the boys like him helping the coach? Normally boys like it when their dad helps out as long as he doesn't get loud and obnoxious like he does with you. Right?
On a side note, don't blame the coach for the lack of info. blame your ex. I know from my Dh coaching soccer. More than half of the parents are divorced and if he had to make 2 calls for every kid it would take FOREVER. Smile

Try to let this be the only place that you let those obscenities fly or your voice raise like that. I'm not saying you did anything wrong, just that in the future you'll find it more beneficial to keep your cool and let him make an ass of himself. If you show that anger and the fact that he upsets you to your ex it will only be fuel to add to his fire and possibly something he uses against you later. The less ammunition you give to him, the better off you'll be (plus you'll feel a lot better about yourself, trust me). I understand that he really gets to you, but of course he does, he's your ex so he knows what buttons to push. The more you show him that he can't get to you like that, the sooner he'll realize that he has no power over you and can't boss you around. He may always be rude and irrational but that's just something we have to accept as exes/steps/bios/whatever. There's a reason he's your ex!

I am not sure why he thinks he needs to be at tutoring He says he wants to see HIS son So who knows I think he shows up at every little thing to be a pain in my neck. Just like my oldest has wrestling pictures tonight instead of sending the 3 trophies home with him last week and his order when I picked the boys up He is going to be there why why why it just doesn't make since to me urghhhh he really does know how to push my buttons he never went to these little things before one of us would go and the other would keep the youngest at home it doesn't take 2 of us to sit there and wait for him to say cheese.
As for the coaching issue I am the one who signed him up and it is my number on the paper work that the coach is suppose to call but because they work together (like most of the people in this stupid little town) the coach doesn't seem to think he has to call me it happened early in the wrestling season but after we missed a couple of practices that I knew nothing about until they ask where we were then they got smart and made sure to call me not him.
Sometimes living in a small town is a blessing but right now it is like living in hell
