Yesterday morning I started receiving text messages from my ex-wife asking if I could “loan” her $50 to pay her cell phone bill. I of course said “no”. She started coming back with a bunch of text messages saying that it is her only line of communication with the kids & such. I still said “no”.
The derogatory text messages kept on coming, and coming, and coming. I stopped responding to her messages but still, they just kept coming. Really mean messages too. Telling me that I am a drunk, her thinking she knows how much money I make and that I should be able to help her out.
So I told her, “You have ripped me off too many times. “I” take care of the kids with no help from you. You are supposed to be paying “me” child support, not the other way around”. She came back with how she helps me out all the time and stuff. Bullshit! When the hell have “you” helped “me” out? Oh that’s right, last weekend she gave me $50. Oh my god, I’m rich!!! She finally gave me some sort of money.
Maybe I should get a restraining order against her so she cannot text me without going to jail.
Forget the restraining order. Tell her is she doesn’t stop bugging you for money, you’ll take her to court to get back child support. If she still doesn’t stop bugging you, change your phone number so she stops texting you. If that doesn’t work, smack her. Kidding. Kidding.
Everyone hears about “Dead Beat Dads,” but not about “Dead Beat Moms.” Maybe the media should shift their focus. Why is it that ex-wives of dads who don’t pay child support get all the sympathy, while ex-husbands of moms who don’t get child support don’t get diddly? Seems vastly unfair to me.
I enjoy reading your blog and I hope you have extra patience for that kind of EX. Goodluck!
