Idle threat?

Comment Published at 10:4510:4514 comments14 comments189 Visits189 VisitsReport
About a week ago now I received an email threatening to take me to court for visitation rights concerning E.  It freaked me a lil at the time because it makes no sense.  I have never denied access, though I admit to discouraging it in the past year because of E's total lack of liking and trusting and anything good to do with him.  Since then I have received further emails and he even came by the front of my place to speak through the security intercom system to threaten me again - just in case I hadnt got the message already I guess. 

Why? 
  • He never voluntarily spent time with her in the past.  It was cuz I had noone else while I was working and he wasnt working, so he might collect her from child care once a week - I only worked 2-3 days.  Or other similar instances. 
  • He disowned her about easter time last year, in an abusive phone call that was witnessed by a christian friend of mine who nearly flew out the window with the venom of my language when I got off the call....i dont take it well when people accuse me of cheating etc.
  • He believes his friends over anyone else, including himself. It is so sad.
  • He refused to send her a christmas card cuz what was the point?  he doesnt love her
  • He has never given any support,and last years call was apparently due to the fact that he had a job and didnt want to support her cuz'she aint his'.  yea right, she looks just like him.
  • Legally she is born (mere months) before the days of shared custody so he actually has no rights, only the legal right to pay maintanence for her.  Therefore all the cards are in my hand....if he wants court, so be it, but it would be much better for him to do a private arrangement via our solicitors.
Oh how sad this all is.  Just had to get this out.  Sorry to splurge sadness and grief here.  Life is good and I am hoping to contact the solicitor tomorrow finally. 

Peace

You're in my prayers.
This is not a fun thing to deal with.  I hope it all works out for the best of everyone involved.

That's the main thing to remember but also make sure that you document everything (if you don't already do it)  I have friends who have gone through this sort of things and they now keep a diary that notes everything.  Times he picks her up and drops her off, phone calls etc etc.  It may help if he does end up taking you to court.  I think he's just trying to upset you though.

Keep your chin up and load him with blessings (as strange as that sounds).  Because I really do believe that the more you pray blessings on those who hurt you the worse it is for them!!!  (Also you will start feeling better as there is not so much negativity in your life)  Just a thought anyway!

You are right on all counts, thanks Julie. 

He is just trying to upset me, and as yet he hasnt succeeded.  Except to p*ss me off for hurting E again and the sleepless nights she is now getting again.  All I asked her was did she want to see him cuz he had asked to see her.  So much hassle for her .  He just doesnt realise, but how could he?  he doesnt care!

As for the blessings, if i can pray for him with a pure heart and no bitterness - which most times as I often pray for him.  I can!  I can pray the goodness of the Lord into his life and it is like heaping coals of fire on his head!  This is true and I have seen it done for one boss who bullied me badly.  I prayed for him with goodness and light in my heart and all that I prayed for him happened, he got a transfer and promotion away from this area - in fact - all the way to NZ - sorry guys.  And apparently he is based in the very town where my family live....lol.  But reports that come via the rumour mill make me realise that it is the goodness of God that he is there and not here.  Life is what we make of it, and he destroys a lot of peoples lives.  I just feel for his family.  And I still have no bitterness or anti-feeling for him.

I really hate it when this sort of thing happens, there is enough stress in everyday life without some nit-wit adding to it. Take stregth from your friends, I also advocate keeping a journal nothing heavy just date, time and brief statement of the facts, include copies of the emails and dont be tempted to answer them back. Hugs to you my friend.

Thanks Tadexpress.  I am keeping a record of things.  It is kinda sad really.  But life goes on, and I have had much worse in the past so I am hoping to keep things in perspective.
Peace

Hang in there!
Oh, how awful!  I just dropped in to say "hi" (seeings as you were so kind as to swing by my lounge!) and started perusing your blog.  I am so sorry to hear about this!  I've worked with so many mom's over the years dealing with the same kind of crap.  You just hang in there an know that you have TONS of people who care about you and E here!  Hang in there!!!

Thanks TMM.  I am sure that i shall breeze through it all relatively speaking should it happen becuse of the friends and support and knowledge i can glean from being here.  It is certainly making me less afraid than I would have otherwise been had I not known everyone here. 
Peace

An extra shoulder
Hi
Don't you jsut love men like this.......
Keep a journal of everything and bear in mind that it is him in the end that loses with his bitterness.
We don't need to turn our kids against their sperm donors.....they do it so well them selves.....
E will know how he upsets you and they get to dislike pretty fast anyone who upsets mum......
Keep remembering good things come to those that wait and you are one of the good ones....


Hugs and prayers for a quick peaceful time for you
All my love
Luv Deb

Thanks Deb.  I have kept record, and all online messages are saved into an email to give to lawyer also.To me it is just immature and based on fantasy.  Just wait till i leave the area.  I have no contact details for him, well now I have his email address actually, but before i didnt even have that.  heaven forbid something terrible had ever happened to her , or to me, he would never have known.
Thank you for your kind words and support
Peace
