Sprained Ankle

At least, I hope it`s just a sprain...I`m still waiting for the x-ray results...should know in an hour or so.

I was running to catch the train yesterday and I took a flip.  I thought I`d just shake it off...so I went to work.  By the end of the day, my ankle was the size of a huge tree trunk and I could not stand on it.  Serves me right for being so dumb!

Anyhow, the most fortunate thing in the world is that I have a flexible job.  I can work from just about anywhere so I spent today with my leg up, iced and on pain killers.  Yaay for pain killers!

On the children`s front, let`s see how things go.  I spoke to the CAS and they have basically confirmed that after all the stunts my ex has pulled, he does not have a hope in hell for joint custody, for more access or anything like that.

My lawyer always said that if you give a man enough rope, he will hang himself...Thankfully, I think she was right.

Things on the CAS front should taper off in a month or so.

Regarding my ex, he still emails me, calls me, stalks me.  His last call was basically to tell me that he refuses to work with CAS and will only see the kids if I give him joint custody.  I said no, he said the kids will grow up without a dad and it will be my fault.  I told him he was a jerk for abandoning the kids and then threatening me over it.

Then a week later he tried emailing my son, on his school account, again.  Sigh.  My son will not reply.  He is afraid of his father.  I think my ex believes that if he can start communication with the kids outside the CAS he can somehow bypass them completely.  Fat chance.    He needs to do what makes the kids feel safe.  And he needs to understand that this is not about his needs, it`s about the kids and their needs.

I wonder if once they grow up- will they realize how much I went out of my way to keep them safe, or will they take it all for granted?
