It was a banner week with nine, yes 9 emails from the crazy man. The 3 mentioned in the earlier post then six more.
His response to my response regarding not adding his girlfriend to the pick-up list was that perhaps he had been 'pro-active' to suggest this. I was thinking premature (you can add the rest).
In regards to his insistence that he and I work together on some 'actions' regarding the elder child, I simply declined to be involved as it is between the two of them. This did not go over well and I was promptly accused of withdrawing a previous offer of support to him. AS IF! I made a terse rebuttal which was also not well received.
Then the slew of mish-mash including a request for an update on the high school applications (provided to him 4 weeks ago), an assault on the fact that Clare has missed two weeks of therapy (she needed a wee break) and a meager acceptance that he should be able to make the shared expenses on time this month.
It is very difficult not to engage but I've decided to view this as if it were a splinter. It's an annoyance. The removal causes temporary stinging but after a while, you forget about it. We all know that he will forget about it so it seems like my best investment is to let it go.
