Hello,
My ex is recently back in our son's life after being forced to pay child support since racking up 17k in arrears for refusing to pay. We went to court and he now has specific parenting time and a Skype call every saturday. He lives in California and did not buy her plane ticket for his visit over spring break, nor has he purchased her summer ticket yet. He also is never available for the scheduled skype call... and I mean never. He says they are his "right" but that he's not ordered to do them... so basically he wants me on call for his whims.... because I know if he ever didn't get "his" way, he would throw a fit with all sorts of insults and threats.
Since coming back into our sons life in the last six months (on paper), he has sent many disrespectful, patronizing and demeaning emails. He will say things like "I'm so proud of you for being a better mother, last year was rough for you" (last year was fine?) call me "young lady" and tell me to "stop bitching" when I ask him to communicated about his plans to skype or visit so we are not on call for him for nothing. I have reminded him that respectful communication is in our order but he continues with his jabs and condescention. He has no place to talk to me this way, as he's an alcoholic who barely graduated high school... how can I get him to stop?
