This is a bit of mindless rambling.
Okay, its not mindless, but it might be rabling. And its most definetly frothing at the mouth. Its about my Ex.
I worked hard to try to have an amicable divorce. I worked VERY hard. I gave up on quite number of fights I could have prolonged. I backed away from others that could have started. I did this because we have a child together.
Last week, I brought up something that my ex was supposed to have paid off over a year ago, that is showing up on my credit report. He went apeshit.
I'm not playing nice any longer.
There are no friendly divorces. I should have crushed the soul out of him when I had the chance. Instead, I'm having to pay for all this, and for the grand privilege of having him raise my daughter in a manner not of my choosing.
I should have fought. I would have won. I didn't fight because I was hoping that we could keep this friendly, for our daughter's sake. Only I was the only one trying, and just like in marriage, it takes 2 people working at it to make this dynamic work. My ex never wanted to do any of the work in our relationship, either during or after marriage.
I have finally negotiated the last of the credit messes that he caused.
I have less than 2 years until the child turns 18.
On that day, I'm throwing a party, and its not for my daughter. Its for me. Its a liberation party. I'm finally going to be free of him. At that point, I never have to speak to him again. Ever.
And I won't.
I'm done playing nice.

I have sooooo many of the same points in my divorce that I could have written this myself!
