Karma MAY be coming around, finally

[achase123]

I talked to XH yesterday. He'll know tomorrow if he has to go to jail for his most recent run in with the law (his DUI about a month ago). Because he's been in drug court (which is part of prop 36 in CA I think) and he's on probation and then he got in trouble the judge gets to decide if he is going to spend time in jail because of this.

He would normally have a visit with P on Sunday at his grandparents house but that's all up in the air because he might be behind bars. He said if I don't hear from him by 4 o'clock tomorrow that means that he's been sent to jail. He said that his mom would call me to let me know what happened if this is the case.

I may be an evil bitch but part of me SOOOOO wants to have his mom have to make that call to me. She's been horrible to me since we split up even though his actions were what caused the demise of our marriage and then he continued to screw up. So part of me feels like it would be so vindicating to listen to her have to tell me that her precious baby boy is now behind bars. Maybe that makes me a bad person but I don't care!!!

I will let you all know what the outcome is. More than likely they'll just slap his wrist again because it seems to be the way that things go, but we'll see!

Dude I totally hope he gets thrown in jail.

[stephbfan]

Hopefully he does end up in jail this time!

[doriswe]

Ohhh, I can't wait to hear the update on this!!!! Dude could benefit from a little time away!

[trafficgirl]

Oh man, I hope he gets his butt thrown in jail. I know that might be difficult for P, but it would be great for you!

[roselis]

Nope, I don't think it makes you bad person at all

[turtle1120]

After all he's put you and P through, it's not the least bit mean to want him in jail. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that he gets the jail time he deserves!!!

[formerlyak]

I so hope his mom has to make that call.

[riverpestie]

I am hoping his Mom calls you!

[prettyinpearls]

I will pray with every fiber of my being that the SD gets locked up. Ugh.

[doriswe]

So the real question is....when XMIL calls are you going to actually answer and talk to her or let it go to voicemail so you can replay for future satisfaction??

[explorer2001]

He needs to go jail for everyone's sake. Hopefully he will realize he can't drink and drive. It is dangerous for everyone on the roads, not just him, not just P, everyone.

That a a reality check that he's not above the law or consequences.

I also hope he gets his ass thrown in jail. Dude needs a wake-up call.

But I wouldn't hold my breath that XMIL will change her mind on her baby boy. The world is out to get him, you know. He's just a victim of circumstance.

Oh no, if she hasn't seen the light by now she NEVER will. I was just imagining the litany of excuses she'd conjur up about why he was in jail (the judge was a big 'ol meany and didn't understand that XH is now a changed man, he hasn't been in trouble with the law in about a year (gasp), etc)

I may not have a choice but to let it go to VM because I'm off work tomorrow to study and my guy friend and I are going to the river. Service is sketchy at best. But my friend is a sheriff so you can bet we will get at kick out of the VM if she has to leave one. I tend to like to listen to her voicemails and save them for awhile. She's so damn entertaining and defensive that I just cannot help myself. Plus her grammar is appalling. She sounds like the most backwoods redneck I've ever heard in my entire life.

[MixedBerryJam]

I don't know you very well, but I just wanted to say that I hope it works out best for you and your son (and it sounds like some honest-to-God consequences couldn't hurt, either!)

I vote for letting her go to voice mail; she sounds like a bitch and a half and I have the feeling that she will try to make this somehow "your" fault.

[starburst604]

From everything you've shared about him, it sounds like jail is long overdue. Time for him to be held accountable for sucking at life.

[bostonterrier]

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy! Keep us posted!

[hainesherway]

I have my fingers crossed he gets sent to jail, AChase! That dude is sorely in need of a slap of reality!

[dakotadangerdog]

We need an update at 4o clock!!!!!
