Flying home
I'm not ready to go home. I feel unfinished here. I know there isn't much left to do and Mom is able to handle it, but I wanted to get to that place where it was finally a bit quiet, where I could in fact grieve a bit. But I'm flying home today because my ex is a complete and utter asshole.
Briefly, hes paid about 1.5 years of child support out of 11 years. He had no contact with the two kids from 2001 till this summer, his choice. He only got in contact with Vincent because he called him in the first place. Vince actually visited him for 3 weeks this summer because it was something he had to do for himself.
The day before my dad's funeral I learned my ex was in jail, two counts identity theft. No other real details. I told Vin after the funeral and he actually handled it ok. When he uttered these two phrases, "I saw this coming," and "glad I didn't get to attached," I knew he'd be ok. Now, last night, he CALLS my HOUSE and first asks to speak to me, second to vincent. Now I know this cause I was actually on the phone with Kat while she answered the house phone. I was baffled about who the hell it could be asking for me then Vince, then Vin told her it was Mike. I asked Brian to go upstairs to be there with Vince, not knowing what the hell he was talking to him about.
Anyways, bout ten minutes later I get a call back, with more details. He had the nerve to ask Vin if he still wanted to come out next summer, after asking him about school and what not Vin actually asked him, "so I thought you were in jail?" What a kid. So Mike is now pissed that we told Vin I guess, I don't care, its not his right to keep that from him. He gave up that right when he got himself in jail. But Vin is actually messed up enough that he told me he needs me home. I have to go home, I have no choice. I have to be there for Vince. But it HURTS so bad that my ex can fuck over my family like this. He can make us dance to his tune and I hate it.
I hope this is the final straw, I hope Vince sees it as hes done everything he should do as a son, Mike is not a father worth having any contact with. He KNEW Vince had just lost his grandfather and he pulled this CRAP on him. Probably didn't even ask him about any of that, no that would be way too out of character.
