More rantings about the bitch...
Now, before Morgan left, Todd & I had a HUGE fight. I mean huge (even though it was over something SO INCREDIBLY STUPID!). Of course, Morgan told her mother all about the fight, about the police coming to the house, about going to Grandma's to spend the night, about me calling divorce attorneys the next day, all of it. Which really, is fine. We've told Morgan over and over that there's nothing that happens in this house that she has to keep secret (her mother does that to her enough... she's always supposed to keep what happens at "mommy's house" a secret). But what pissed me off about it is this: Morgan was gone from this house for 17 days. We never called her once in those 17 days. She called us a few times (or called her Daddy), but we never called her once. We hold the opinion that those days are her mother's time, and we don't interfere in them. BUT, since coming home on Monday, Morgan has had a bit of trouble getting back into the 'routine' around here. She forgot that there are rules here. Needless to say, she's been in trouble a couple of times... nothing major, mind you, but trouble nonetheless. Monday or Tuesday night (I can't remember which), both Morgan and the boys got in trouble because Dad made a surprise room inspection. All 3 of them were sent upstairs to clean their rooms, then after dinner and baths, they had to stay in their rooms and not watch tv. Morgan was not very happy about this and at one point asked if she could call her mother. Of course, we let her call. I tried to record the call, but for some reason, the recorder didn't pick up that time, and I can just imagine what was said. Then yesterday, the bitch called here early. Morgan wasn't here, so I didn't answer. When Morg got home, I told her that her mom called (which was the RIGHT thing to do, but not what I wanted to do). Morgan tried to call her back (of course, I had then set the recorder to make sure that it worked), left her a message, then went about her business. About an hour later, Morgan tried to call her again, and again left a message. 30 minutes later, the bitch called back (and we knew it was her because I've set the phones to ring "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" when she calls from any of her numbers - hey, it's not MY fault that she looks like a pig!), so Morgan answered it. It was a short, but sweet conversation, and about 10 minutes later, the bitch called back again, this time to talk to Shaunne. Later, I went in to listen to the recording. I swear, that woman is psycho! She kept asking Morgan over and over, "what's wrong? Why did you call so many times?
Morgan said, "you called me first. I was just calling you back."
She said, "ok. Are you sure you're ok? You sound like you've been crying."
Morgan said, "no mommy, I'm fine."
She asked what Morgan had done that day, and they made some small talk. Then she said, "are you sure you're ok? No one's fighting?"
Ahhh, so now I understand. Morgan told her about our blowup, so now, she's going to use it. They get off the phone, and when she calls back to talk to Shaunne, she asks over and over if Morgan is ok. Tells Shaunne that she doesn't want Morgan around "any fighting," and that if anything happens, Shaunne is to call her and let her know (yeah, like THAT would ever happen).
Ok. So nevermind, that her on-again, off-again boyfriend (the one she CLAIMED to be engaged to in our custody hearing over 2 years ago), is on-again, and Morgan hates him. Morgan told me just the other day that Mommy is going to marry Barry, but she doesn't understand why, because they fight ALL THE TIME - even more than [me] & daddy (gotta' love a kid's honesty).
The bitch's lease is up on her house next month (she lives in a county about 30 to 40 minutes away), and she's been looking at houses in our county (oh joy). She can't find one that she can afford, that will let her have animals, so her answer is to marry this asshole (who she can't stand), because his house (read: trailer) on Nowhere Rd. is paid for. After a few months of being married, she is planning to make him sell his trailer and get her a house in this county. Even Morgan admits that that's mean.
So, I'm expecting another call from her today. It's so hard to bite my tongue and say nothing to her. I know that she's planning to take us back to court. I don't think she'd win, but she's planning it nonetheless. The mere thought of spending another year in court makes me want to vomit, but she told me 4 years ago that she would spend the rest of her life trying to make mine hell. She is accomplishing that. I just hate that she's using her own daughter to do it.
