I think my ex is getting just a bit crazier every day. Since he has had no contact with the children, and refused to work with the CAS, he basically doesn't get to see them. It has been peaceful for awhile, but he recently resorted to trying to reach out to the kids on his own. For example, he sent my son an email at his school account. I think he thought he would pull a fast one on all of us. He didn't realize that the kids don't want anything to do with him, especially since he refused to work with CAS. So my son, being the smart kid that he is, called me from school to tell me about the email. He was very upset. I told him we would talk about it when he came home.
When he got home, I asked how he wanted to handle it. His solution: Do nothing. No reply, don't even acknowledge it. I'm not surprised. That's kind of been my approach. He must be my son.
So next, my ex tells his niece to give messages to my son at school. This really upset my son, and put him in a position where not only does he see his dad for the freak that he is, but he is in a spot where he debated breaking ties with his cousin. I told him that this may not be the best approach. I told him to talk to his cousin and express how he feels. So he went back to school and told his cousin not to give him any more messages from his dad.
The interesting thing about all this is that my ex is his own worst enemy. He's basically making the kids hate him. His one chance was to work with the CAS, but he gave them a boot.
My lawyer was right. She always said "give a man enough rope and he will hang himself". All I've had to do is let things unfold on their own. The kids are running the show here. But they seem to be doing just fine.
It's the first time that I have been able to breathe through the insanity.
My babies are growing up...
