glad it's over cloud: Today was my court date. Due to a disagreement over the amount of child support I was at court for almost three hours.
I tried to avoid my ex as much as possible.
In the end, my ex was unpleasant and refused to shake my lawyer's hand.
She and I also got into it.
I told her I was willing to increase the life insurance above the stated amount in the decree---she was peeved that it wasn't high enough. Did I get a thank you--or that's great--no.
She told me we needed to communicate better about our daughter. I said that was fine and that I thought that wouldn't be a problem with the divorce over. But I also said that it would breakdown if she got rude or snippy with me. She said I just needed to not wear my heart on my sleeve.
That ticked me off. I told her I wasn't doing that, I was just tired of her dictating how I raise my daughter on my time. She said she didn't do that--and kind of half-laughed.
In front of her lawyer and mine, I told her to stay the hell out of our lives (mine and my daughter's).
She said nothing after that.
Am I proud of myself for doing all of that? Absolutely not.
I am glad it's over, however, and the day has certainly left a bruise on me in some ways that will take a long time and/or an incredibly wonderful woman to heal.
Re:glad it's over brokenman: I am glad to hear that you made it through so well. D-day is never a totally happy one, but congratulations on this big step. Yeah, the little outburst probably wasn't a good move, but it doesn't sound like it affected anything. How did your visitation schedule end up?
Re:glad it's over Kinney26: Cloud,
I know it is probably tough right now, but at least you can now move forward with your life and you don't have to take any of her crap anymore.
Hope you are doing ok.

Re:glad it's over cloud: Basically 55/45 on visitation.
I get her every Thursday and every other week, I get her from Wednesday through Sunday.
Re:glad it's over ChristyM: It sucks our exes know how to push our buttons, eh?
Now every day is a step forward and one step further away from your divorce ...
