HI everyone, these are the types of things that I would never post on tb because I am afraid of my exh stalking and printing out everything I post. But I feel like there is a little more privacy here (hopefully I am not deluding myself!). And I thought you might get a laugh out of this story because it is so absurd and just shows my exh's insanity IMO.
So last week, we had a clogged toilet and dc and I were watching dh work on it. Somehow we started joking around about 'turdtown' and that being the name of the place where the clog was. Then dc said something like 'there is a hard tag on my comforter at my dad's house that reminds me of a turd' and we laughed about it. Typical 7 yr old toilet humor that makes no sense.
So I get an email friday night that says this: "<DC> has explained to me about the new term 'turdtown' that you made up and how you are using it. I would like to hear your explanation and expect an answer by 5 pm on Monday."
What is up with that email, and the deadline? Am I living in a crazy alternate reality that I am being threatened to respond back to him by some arbitrary deadline about a toilet joke my dc made up? But knowing him, I felt that I had to respond or he would do something crazy like call CPS. Who knew what he was going to try to make this 'turdtown' thing into.
So I first tried to call and he would not accept a phone call from me about this subject. So I emailed the explanation and actually said that I tried calling first because I thought we would laugh about it because it was so absurd. He responded back that it was not laughable that I was coaching dc to call his house 'turdtown' and would it be laughable if the roles were reversed???
AM I CRAZY???
I responded back that what was laughable was that we were going back and forth on this stupid joke dc made up that was over in one minute. And that if he read the description of the incident again in my first email, that he would see that I never called his house 'turdtown' and that I will speak to dc about making up stories if that is what dc is telling him. But I know it is not- exh is just twisting something that he heard like he always does, to try to upset me.
But can you believe what I have to deal with? what is his deal--- why would someone go to all this energy and trouble? If dc came back to my house and said that something on their comforter reminded them of a turd and that exh and she were laughing about it, I would laugh and then ask dc if she wanted me to cut it off. that is it!!!! Not this craziness with emails all day and night. I feel bad for his girlfriend if he is spending all day sunday sending emails like this.
I think I am living in the bizzarro world. What do you all think? I was just laughing and laughing at these emails. I am just waiting to see if they end up in court and what the judge will say. HA!
Lol, but I totally feel your pain. We also have to deal with bizarre accusations that defy logic. I feel like we have to defend ourselves, otherwise we are accepting it as truth. That is actually a reason why we need parental controls on his phone. SS told us a child relative of mine had called him. BM flipped out about it and sent us many nasty emails. I thought this was impossible because nobody in my family has his number, but I asked them and they confirmed they never called. We told BM, SS was mistaken and she would not let it go. She even got her lawyer involved, but wouldn't tell us the area code or number. Turns out it was a wrong number call but the kid talked to SS for a minute and SS was confused about who it was.
