Sorry if this goes on, but this is an update on a
previous thread about my two cats, Edgar and Leo.
A little background: on May 12, my ex- announced to me and my new therapist that our marriage of nine years was over, and that she was leaving. I was already having major depression issues, and this announcement hit me out of left field. I immediately checked myself into the psych ward and stayed for a week so I could get my mental health back on the right track.
After that, I moved in with my mother, who lives 90 miles away, and commute 3x/week to my job and telecommute the other two days. My ex- stayed in the house and took care of our cats, while I've continued to pay my share of the house bills. The only thing I asked for in the divorce is custody of the cats-- which she immediately agreed to. I also told her I couldn't have them at mom's, and I'd have to get an apartment to handle them.
So she leaves me this nasty-ass voicemail yesterday and says come pick up the cats now or I'm taking them to a shelter :wtf: ?!?!?!?! She knew she could get at me emotionally by doing this, but I wouldn't play her game. I reiterated my situation to her and TOLD HER that I couldn't take them until Monday at the earliest, and could she check on the cats in the meantime?
She's staying with a friend now, and our old house is ON THE WAY to the friends' house, so it's no major inconvenience for her, while I work 20 miles away in the opposite direction.
So anyway, I finally went to the house yesterday to check on the boys, and their food and water were both full-- EVEN THOUGH the ex said she hadn't been there since Saturday, and nobody else has been taking care of the house.
It's obvious that she's playing on me emotions by threatening to put the cats in a shelter. How dare she, especially after all the crap I've lived through in the past ten weeks. I'm finally getting my life together again, and she tries to bring me down like that. What an evil, evil person she's turning out to be. I am VERY GLAD to be rid of her.
And as promised, here's another picture of the boys from last winter. Unfortunately my digital camera was on the fritz yesterday so I didn't get any recent ones :(.
Edgar (l) and Leo (r), goofing off
