Headstrong Mom

I have to be a headstrong mom now... I have to do what I have to do for my son.
I am now a single mother. I will not lie... the adjustment was a little hard at first, but in all honesty I did a lot of the feeding, bathing and bedtimes on my own... so the past few days have just been figuring out a new groove to get into.


When we first separated, I told him I didn't want us to be ugly towards each other, but multiple times since our split he's shown his bitterness towards the situation. I asked him about seeing his son, he of course says he's going to see his son, but also adds "I'm not going to be coming over to your place everyday..." ... I never even asked for anything of that sort. All I asked if he would see his son, on a regular, consistent basis.

A day or two later after our split, we some how get into an argument... within the argument he tells me it is my fault we broke up.. he claims he doesn't care that I moved out or that we aren't together... but I know he means nothing of the sort, this is just more bitterness coming out. Then he has the nerve to ask me the day after for help on his cable bill... being the nice person that I am, I said sure.

But June 22, he hit an all time low blow, and went somewhere I never thought he would go. That day, I decided to finally take off my relationship status of the infamous Facebook... I guess when he saw I did this, it hit a nerve, and he deleted me. Later I discover that he has also decided to put a lovely story about me on his page for his all friends to see... and comment on. I have no idea what the comments said, and truthfully I know I am better off not knowing.

"Why is it that some females don't realize it when they have something good, and they rather damage it with dumb ish??? I mean, is a man not good when he comes home everyday, takes care of his son, cooks every night cause you can't, has his own money?? But, you rather get mad cause he watches a movie [at] home, without you cause you are out of town...?"

I knew to not even waste my time, energy or brain power to try to come back at that... I simply told him that was the lowest he's ever gone, and he's unbelievable. Of course he had no reply when I told him that. The following day I have to see him because it was his day to pick up his son from daycare. He of course doesn't forget to ask me "Do you have that $55 for the cable bill?"

Without a word I get up to get it from my car, but on my way out he feels the need to add "Its only fair..." I just gave him the most evil look ever, a look of disbelief that he even had the nerve to say that... I told him "Don't tell me that"... and walked out. When I came back in, I reminded him it was his week to pay daycare... then he has the audacity to say "I might not have it"... I immediately know what that means, because I've been there three times before with him on this. Three times before he did not have the money, and I covered him. He honestly cannot think this would happen again, especially after publicly disrespecting me, and allowing others to do so as well...

That night I told him I cannot cover his week, he informs me he doesn't have it. I told him I don't either... then as usual... he likes to bring up stuff about me and states how I am paying X amount in rent now and when I was paying a lower amount I claimed I still didn't have it (which is complete BS, since I obviously paid for his week)... but I just tell him to stop worrying about my business and just figure out how to pay his week of daycare. He replies with "Anyway... ok"... all I can do is hope that he does follow through and man up and pay it.
