O/T Vent so sorry

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
My ex-husband, and I have a very strained relationship that we wouldn't even have it we didn't have L together. He has always been one of those people who have to **GET** you no matter what is going on, must cause trouble for you, and his mother is the same way. Current DH and I have been together for 9.5 years right after my divorce from said EX. Fast forward to now.

He told my DD that my home was like an orphanage, because I'm pregnant again. I sent him a text stating "I'm amazed that you would call my loving home an orphanage when we have children because we love them and can afford to care for them, to L, pretty rude"

He replies back with my HR managers name stating he was told to call her if I sent a text to him again on my company blackberry. Mind you, the HR mgr doesn't live in the same state as me because she's over the entire country and we all work virtually. I have no idea how he got her name and number, and now I feel like they are either A- building a case against me because I filed sexual harrassment charges against my boss, and EX has sent me some pretty vulgar text messages on that phone calling me names (mine are always professional (no cursing etc) and they searched my messages, found the ones from him and called him or B- he is trying to screw my career up AGAIN. Well I'm sure he's succeeded again, I was sick all night with pain as if I had eaten something with Gluten in it (I know I didn't though) and I slept horribly. I am actually worried I'm going to lose my job, I'm the bread winner, DH is in school full time with VA benefits, I have our insurance, etc etc. I just don't even know what to do or say. Obviously we've called an attorney this morning because his instability is creating terrible living environments every other weekend for L, but holy cow. He SUCKS!!!!

Ok, done.......I promise not to get O/T again.........

That's just gross. He sounds like he has nothing better to do than mess with your life. Is non work texting prohibited at your work or is he just reaching for straws? If nothing else I guess it's lesson that he's not interested in preserving a relationship for the sake of his child and he's not worth the response from you. I suspect you've had that lesson a few times huh? Yuck.

Oh, goodness, that does sound stressful Take gentle care of yourself and breathe deeply through this.

So sorry this is happening to you! I know what it's like to be the primary breadwinner and have your job in jeopardy. It sucks.

Is it possible to have his number blocked from your phone? That way you would never receive a text from him again. I know Verizon will block people for you. It won't totally solve your problem of him just being a jerk, but maybe he will be less able to mess with you.

Hey I live in NC too!!!

Thanks for all the thoughts mamas, he's in Korea for the week with his wife who has just deployed there with their 2 children, so I'm free of him (he lives over an hour away from us too!) for a few days But if the HR lady ever returns my call, I'll ask her if the number can be blocked. I did find some info regarding our "personal usage" policy in my ethics training yesterday though and I saved it to reference if necessary, we ARE allowed to use it for personal and if they check the history on it, he's the one being rude/vulgar not me in anyway. I'm thinkin I'm good, but we'll see. he's a scum bag really.

Even with the policy, I would still see if there is a way to block his number from that phone.
