Hey, if this is your first time here, subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Now that we have a court date drawing near, things are heating up again. The Sperm Donor is up to his usual nastiness, making demands and refusing to compromise. First there was his attempt to force me to take her to the daycare of his choosing for the summer. Sorry, wrong. But thanks for playing. I work at home. Why should she go to daycare when she can be here with me? For socialization? Got it covered. If he needs daycare, go right ahead. But I don’t.
Then there’s the whole Memorial Day hassle. Apparently its “inconvenient” for him to drop her off at home - we usually do drop off/pick up at school - and his wife isn’t “comfortable” bringing her home. Tough cookies. Expecting me to just wait to pick her up at school on Tuesday is not an acceptable alternative. I’m done giving in on everything. I’m done letting you have whatever you want just to keep from causing more problems. Its called ‘compromise’. Look it up.
And now his attorney has submitted her Discovery requests. She wants my medical history, my work history, my bank statements, my rent receipts, my mental health history, my criminal history, my emails, my text conversations, when my last period was and what color underwear I wore on my 36th birthday (they were black). They have even involved Sissy in this, asking for a record of all conversations I’ve had with Sissy since January, what method of communication was used (text, phone call, in person), and the subject of the conversation. Well, let’s see….on January 23rd, I told her to take the trash out. And on February 17th, I sent her a text message to remind her to bring her work shirt home. Seriously. Get real.
I can’t wait for this to be over with. Now I understand why his ex-wife said she moved Far, Far Away to get away from him.

I just found your blog(s) tonight because you dropped on my entrecard.
You have wonderful blogs!
I feel like I’m reading part of my own life when it comes to this subject.
I’m not battling for custody, but the battle for child support to be modified after 14 years is underway and nasty. I’m going through discovery as well.
My last period, rent, cell phone calls and texts etc.
Anyway, I just wanted to say you are not alone, there’s a lot of us single moms out here struggling, battling, and attempting to keep it all together right along with you.
I’ve subscribed to your feeds and will definitely be back.
Keep your chin up, stay strong, and don’t give in if you feel you shouldn’t.
Take care,
Kat
