My two boys, Michael, 12 and Zachary 14 are living with their Dad and his wife for the first time since we divorced 8 years ago. I've raised these boys by myself, and have always done the necessary errands and appointments. Dentist, Eye doctor, etc. Their dad has no contact with me, unless absolutely necessary. It's not that we don't talk, we just don't have a need. His wife is the interceeder. She's the one that sets up visitation times, what's going on in their lives, etc. WELL--i emailed her about the boys going to a Dentist appointment, and in return, she told me that I need to give HER his phone # so she can take them. (Did I mention I live 3 minutes from their school, and she lives 1/2 hour?) My husband just got this Dental plan on his work's insurance, so I'm the one that HAS to take them. I sign the papers, I make the appointments. So, last night, after praying, and just being upset, I wrote her back.
Now, I was nice, but very firm and told her that I WILL be taking them to their Dentist appointments, and I WILL be picking them up at school and taking them back. I'm not going to let her bully me anymore, and I am the JOINT full custody parent, NOT HER> It makes me angry, but I'm trying not to stir up a hornets nest. I'm just tired of them trying to control the whole situation. Was I in the right or wrong? HELP
