I received a phone call yesterday and to my surprise it was my ex-wife in jail. Here’s the story I was told by her…
She looked up on the internet to see if she had any warrants. Apparently she did. She went to the court house (or something to that effect), and was promptly arrested. She told me her bail was $55,000 dollars.
She said it had something to do with a DUI she had just after we split up. I was waiting for her to ask me to bail her out but she didn’t. I was shocked! She did however get bailed out by her now boyfriend. This is the first time I have heard anything about a boyfriend because she is always telling me how much she loves me & stuff (don’t worry, it goes in one ear and out the other).
Later in the evening, she called me back so I can conference call with her mom because she was still in jail. It was a funny conversation. She just told her mom what was going on while I simply listened. This is also the first time her mom heard she has a boyfriend. Her mom was kinda pissed off. I wish I could have recorded the conversation but that’s illegal.
Anyway, I thought the whole thing was pretty funny in a sick kind of way.
There is so much to say, if one wanted to do so. But, I can’t think of one intelligent thing to say. I do have a question. Do your girls know of their mom’s latest predicament? How would/could you explain this to them? Are they old enough to understand? Why would your ex-wife call you with her story? Sorry, I guess I had more than one question, which you may feel free to answer or ignore.
Hello SuprisedMom,
I did NOT tell the kids. They know what going to jail means and that bad people go there. I didn’t tell them because they would be the first ones to go to school and say “Mommy was in jail” and possibly get picked on. So I dont tell them stuff like that.
I can imagine my baby daddy calling me from jail. I hope it never happens but I’m surprised he hasn’t been there already for a few minor things.
Anyway, good thing her boyfriend bailed her out.
