He already speaks in telegraphese, so SMS is his ideal medium, he was born to it. LoL! There are lots of guys that communicate in morse code grunts like this. Whereas you, one the other hand, are clearly an extrovert and addicted to words and I imagine are anything but taciturn. It's hard to imagine you were ever a good match, unless the telegraphese only started after the split. "“So not coming.”

Are you all nerves? I wish you the best of luck. Personally, everytime my ex calls because too sick or 'sick' (he's an alcoholic) to have his visit with our daughter it adds more resentment to the pile of reasons I have to lack respect for him. It's doubly stellar the times when he's shown up, still drunk from the evening before and said he didn't call because he knew I'd just get mad. Are you really going to do it? Are you all nerves?

I really believe in the saying, "If the heart is willing, it can find a thousand ways" You are such a strong mom and good person, i'm sure you will have full custody of your son. Will pray for you! Have a nice day alaina! Excuses, excuses!

There have been times when my (not yet ex) husband has said things like : "Well, I'm doing you a favour...." when I've asked him to help out or switch times around, but he does for the most part do his part with the children. But, that said, he is the one who has all the flexibility, gets to do everything he wants and needs (including flying to Chicago from DC to see the woman that he cheated on me with), play golf, be sick, etc. etc, because he only see them twice a month. It's hard not to get resentful and angry, but I really work on it and try and take what I can get. The children are better off with a schedule that is regular, he used to come and go and that really affected them. Personally, there are days when I really wish it was just me because then I wouldn't have to deal with all the drama he creates when he comes over to pick them up. It's stressful for all of us. You are the single parent here in every sense and I think any court would grant you full custody, even though I know that is very hard. You do what you know is right for him. Hang in there! :) I feel for you.

But the thought of you returning the dress so you can pay for your babysitter broke my heart. It is very telling of what a responsible mother you are. It's good to be thrifty.
