Okay so this is a complete and unedited text message conversation with my ex about my son. This is completely unedited because I don't want to influence any opinions one way or the other. Just a couple background points before I let you read away. Jared has been in counseling the last few weeks because we felt he needed help adjusting to life in the new "family" consisting of my ex and her new husband, his older sister and his younger brother. (three kids... three different dads... but that's a story for another day...)
Anyway, his counseling is every Friday at 4. The rest I think is pretty self explanatory.
Last night...

To: Mike
I have to work late today to cover a shift do you think you will be able to take jared to counseling? If not I can cancel it
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:32 AM
To: Kelly

To: Mike
God crabby I was just asking
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:35 AM
To: Kelly
Well its a little frustrating because if that's the case than I could have just gotten him last night and worked from home... but I wouldn't have been able
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:36 AM
To: Kelly
To get him to counseling on time. Now you have to work late so its suddenly no big deal to cancel it
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:43 AM
To: Mike
Y would I cancel it just because u decided at eight that you want to drive out there last night. U r just acting weird, get off the drugs
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:44 AM
To: Kelly
I am not on drugs ass. I just see where your priorities are and they suck....
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:45 AM
To: Mike
What? Because I have to work late now? What about you,? Oh wait you have to work too...I are retarded
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:46 AM
To: Mike
duh.
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:46 AM
To: Mike
I am calling my dad now
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:47 AM
To: Kelly
Yes but you chose to work an extra shift. That wasn't what you were scheduled.
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:48 AM
To: Mike
I didn't chose it turd
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:48 AM
To: Kelly
Ok fine whatever.
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:49 AM
To: Mike
What do you think I volunteered???
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:50 AM
To: Kelly
I think you can say, sorry I can't work an extra shift because I have to take my son to an appointment. It's not like you are a doctor and you have to perform
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:50 AM
To: Kelly
Life saving surgery
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:53 AM
To: Mike
And yours is?? Lol. My dad is taking him
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:54 AM
To: Kelly
And mine is my damn schedule there is a huge difference between getting out early and cancelling a meeting to do it and taking an extra shift at the last minute
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:56 AM
To: Mike
Ya, sorry.. Gotta go the canned peas need to be restocked n isle five
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 9:57 AM
To: Kelly
Whatever that isn't what I am saying and you know it.
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 10:00 AM
To: Mike
you dont even know what I do so how do you think you can make fun if you don't even know
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 10:02 AM
To: Kelly
I am not making fun of it at all. I am simply saying that you agreed to work an extra shift and that you chose to do that over taking Jared to counseling.
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 10:02 AM
To: Kelly
And then expected me to either leave early or cancel it which shows your priorities
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 10:03 AM
To: Kelly
It's only because it pissed me off that you even asked your dad
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 10:10 AM
To: Mike
who cares if I asked my dad?? Its private sessions anyway, I am not allowed in when they talk. You can think whatever you want to make up in your head
Mike Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 10:11 AM
To: Kelly
I don't care about asking your dad... you are missing the damn point
Kelly Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 10:28 AM
To: Mike
It isn't a huge deal if he misses today, all they r going to do is color
..........
So again, if it isn't such a big deal if he missed today, why couldn't I have picked him up and spent more time with him instead of having him go to her new husband's mom's house all day??? But apparently I am the irrational one on drugs....
Am I wrong?? Am I looking at this from the wrong perspective???
