Oh good heavens. I should have locked the thread!
I just hate tattling on the ex. It's the only way he'll follow the law. Turns out, kids were at his mom's (where there is a court order stating they are not allowed to be) since he was working his graveyard shift (which he told the minor's attorney he wasn't working) aside from the confusion of all week the kids asking me if they were spending the birthday with me, then finding out over text the kids weren't even with dad. Ugh. Which means, i may have to go for contempt anyway.
But, for tonight, i'm just going to drink my cherry rum and coke, and stare at the wall....
