Ok i'm a little confused here, i don't know why i'm so upset over this.
Ever since i told the ex that i would be about a week or two late paying him his support payments (if you read my other posts you would understand why) he has gone from speaking to me every day to maybe once a week. And all we ever speak about is the kids. Well the kids just spent two and half weeks with me (part 1 of summer vacay) and he did not call me once to see how they were. Yet instead he would text his daughter (to whom he bought a cel phone that shares 400 call mins with his girlfriend so he told her text only no calling anyone) one text a day and even then sometimes wouldn't answer her back. Giving her the excuse that he had bad reception at the campground. or his phone was off, meanwhile his camper is parked less than a block from a pay phone (i know this cuz he has called from there before.) The kids even asked why he didn't call as much or answer sometimes. His girlfriend even texted back one night that "this is the last time your father is texting tonight as it takes over ten mins to text." when it comes to a 10 and 14 yr old i'm sure he can take the time to call them or me to ask about them. The only 45 second call i got was to say that he was going to have to put my daughter's pet dog down because part of his fault he let her nails grow too long and left cuts on her paws untreated and they got so infected the vet said they couldn't do anything about it. .. so that left me upset as well as devasted our daughter. so i had to tell me daughter and he didn't even ask as to how she was feeling.... what confuses or upsets me the most is why is he always after me about money yet not one word about their well being.
