Full Moon Psychosis?

I said in an earlier post that I would sometimes post to rant about exes and today I have a rant. On Friday, Heather had asked her Dad if he would pay for half of a dress that she apparently needs for choir and also half of a new cell phone that she thinks she needs. Her phone still works it just broke a spring in the hinge. Well, recently Brian had asked her mother to pay for half of the down payment on a Luther League trip to New Orleans that will take place next summer. He also asked if she would pay half of the cost of a t-shirt and some other things that she wanted to be part of the volleyball team. Both times she refused. He also pays her child support and is also responsible for all of their school expenses.

Well, today she called again to ask if he would pay for half of the dress. He told her no, that he had paid for these other things and her mom would not pay half so he didn't feel obligated to pay half of these things. Well, of course he could hear her mother making threats in the background. He didn't feel that Heather should be put in the middle so he hung up.

Well, of course her mother calls back and leaves a voice mail, which states that he is a coward for hanging up the phone and not talking. Since he didn't answer that message she calls again. I answer it and am very angry at this point and tell her how she is the coward for not speaking to us when she saw us face to face the night before and also for putting Heather in the middle then hung up. Brian turned off his phone and she proceeds to leave 3 messages on his phone and one on mine. (We do have a home phone, but she never even calls that one). Each message she leaves is more psychotic and frenzied. I'm not an expert, but I swear we go through this about once a month or so, whether it has to do with the moon phases or just her manic phases. I don't know.

She went on to say what a bad father he is because he doesn't spend time with his children and that I must wear the pants in the family and tell him what to do, etc. What a nut! Oh, and she thinks she is the one that pays for everything, and that she is going to have his paychecks reviewed and try to get more child support because he makes more money than she does. I am hoping and praying that it backfires on her. I hope that a judge will see that she could make more money by getting a better paying job and working more hours and that he is paying more than enough considering that he has shared custody. They split like I do with my kids every other week. So, in a sense, he is paying for them to live here and at her house. Who is paying for everything here? Besides she signed a paper agreeing to accept the amount specified for child support and she has promised in the past to drop it if she and her current boyfriend got a house together. Well, they have since done that. I hope it doesn't come down to us having to get a lawyer, but we may have to fight to drop the child support all together or get full custody.

I am just so frustrated with it all and hope that by writing this I can express some of my anger in a more creative way rather than doing or saying something that I may regret.
