Eeeeek! 2 Unpleasant Events

We saw the FSO yesterday. Apparently there are no libraries east of our town and he must come out to ours. Note: he lives more than 20 miles away. Hmmmm. What could be his point? But if I looked as bad as he, I would be ashamed to show myself anywhere near people who used to know me. He looked like he was in his 60s. Grey beard, super short hair, hunched over.

My girls absolutely panic'd. We pulled into the parking lot and he was getting into his car. They noticed him and started crying and demanding we leave. Finally I gave in and tried to leave. He came out the other driveway - never looked at us once so I'm not sure he even saw us.

Then my girls didnt want to go into the library. But I was the person driving the car so back we went. My oldest was crying in the parking lot as we went into the building but stopped once we got there. Then she refused to aknowledge that he even existed. My youngest kept talking about it - how she was scared and how having the Order of Protection meant they didnt have to talk to him so we would be okay - over and over again. Then she had nightmares at nite.

Then yesterday I found out he cancelled our health insurance as of 5/31. I found out too late to do anything about it. I have to call today and find out if we have COBRA.

I am trying hard not to get angry about this. One has to be cold and logical to get things done efficiently. I can want as much revenge as I can get and try to punish him by what I ask for in the divorce. But it just isnt going to happen. I have to ask for what is fair and let his actions reflect on him so the judge goes my way. In addition to cutting our insurance without giving me a chance to pick it up, he also wants me to support him.

Sure, I can pick up insurance for us - it will be very expensive - but my youngest had a stroke in utero and, as a pre-existing condition, its next to impossible to find someone to take her on. I've applied for the state kids insurance. I know her provider for her accepts that insurance. I have to find who else does.


What kind of man does this to his kids?


The answer is he is no kind of man at all.
