Yes, a normal person would not quit his high-paying job to spite his ex-but he is not normal. (12 years ago he quit his job-we worked together-to cover up an affair he was having w/no prospect of a new one.) I am suspicious of his motives because I do not trust him and he has given me plenty of reason not too. I am sick to death of people telling me to be a cooperative co-parent. I am the ONLY one who IS a cooperative co-parent. I have consistently kept him informed of news about the kids. I have basically let him have them whenever he wanted because I feel it is important for my kids to have a good relationship with their father. Unfortunately he has not reciprocated.

I will tell you have never met a more twisted person in your life. Most people think I am the bitter ex-wife (I'm not I am HAPPY to be rid of him),until they really get to know him and what he is like. What kind of father would have his own son arrested for fighting with his sister in an attempt to take custody with the ultimate goal of me paying child support to him? HE DID!

Yes, I realize the economy sucks. But, any person who was suffering financially would not be throwing parties, dining out and shopping up a storm. Maybe now you know more details, you will understand my point.
