At Last

I know my last blog was more confusing than anything. Now, this entry will be confusing but probably not because of the way I am writing it. Probably because this is so unbelieveable.

So, I have had some court ordered visits over the Christmas break but my ex, Curtis has not gone by the court ordered times and dates. His girlfriend, Susan insists on making it difficult for me. That is another story though.

I was recently diagnosed with a sleep disorder and I am easily fatigued. I had done a 14 hour fast to get blood work and I was tired after fasting, getting six vials of blood taken and walking a couple of miles today so I went for a nap. I slept for an hour or so and woke to my home phone and my cell phone both showing that I had several missed calls and three voice mails. As I began to check my voice mail, I got a call from my son. He said that his dad wanted to talk to me and I immediately prepared myself for the yelling. I had been told off a few times over the phone recently so I may as well brace myself!

"He wants to come home", Curtis told me. I was shocked. "Um, what?" was all I could choke out. "I don't know", he said. "He just wants to go home and I am not going to fight it. He and Susan are butting heads, he is being a bad kid and I am bringing him back." I heard her in the background, bitching about how my son is bad and causing problems in the house. Curtis gave the phone back to my son, who began to cry.

Curtis dropped him off a couple of hours later. He wanted me to go outside (in minus ten degrees) so I put on my coat and boots and went to talk to him. He was in the driveway and I stood at the top of the four steps in front of my door. I wanted to stand above him and show I was not afraid. He was angry and he said, "First off, don't take everything he says seriously. He will say a lot of shit but he tends to make shit up." I just looked at him and said, "Okay. What is this all about?" He sighed and said something about my son not getting along with Susan and not liking the rules, etc. He said he needs counselling and that my son has a "very bad temper". I said he had not had one in the past but Curtis insisted that my son has always had a bad temper. He then told me my son apparently threw his aunt's son on the floor and he can't get along with anyone.

After he left, I took my son up to my room and we talked. He told me that Susan likes to call him an "asshole". HE IS 12 YEARS OLD! She also yells to him and the other kids to "shut the f*** up" on a regular basis. She tells him terrible things about me and yes, they DID alienate him. He was told, before we went to court, that he was not to contact me in any way at all. He was told that my daughters and I were bad for him and a bunch of other BS.

So, Children's Aid and some other people will be getting a blast from me! They let this go on for the past five months and now my son says he never wants to see Susan again. I am so relieved but also pretty pissed off.
