so....i get a phone call today from some Dr in florida.
he tells me that he is representing the state of florida, and he is examining a child custody case....which, ironically involves my ex in laws.
so he asked me to tell him my thoughts and experiences with my ex mother in law....
for a split second i thought, "no, this isnt my thing..the past is past, and just let it be."
then i remembered my parents getting divorced, and the BS that went along with it...
this is the woman that called my wife on a weekly basis and brought her to tears when she was having a bad day...only to hang up and let me pick up the pieces.
the woman that called me a "fucking idiot" for standing up for myself and not agreeing that jane fonda was a "hero".
the woman who went out of her way to "one up" me at christmas time.
the woman that wrote her own daughter out of her life and her ENTIRE family, over a decision she didnt agree with.
the woman we ran to fucking texas to get away from.
the woman that made it im-fucking-possible for me to have a family.
the woman that HIT MY WIFE IN THE HEAD when she found out we were back together...
i told him everything he needed to know. i told him about the lies, as well as all the "deep dark family secrets". my mind seemed to act as a file cabinet at that point, and i started remembering things i had obviously repressed...
in the end he told me that he had to legally put my name on the sealed court documents, to prove it was me that he talked to, and he wasnt just making it up.
i told him that was fine, but to do me one favor, he asked what.....
"when you read your opinions, please look them in the eye when you say my name."
ill take my victories in any size when it comes to those people.
