This is related to relations with an ex and our children. I'll try to keep it super short and to the point.
I was in a crisis center for 10 days and just got out Tuesday. I got in touch with my ex on Wednesday evening to see how they were, let her know what my plans are, and finished the conversation by asking to see them the next evening (Thursday). I never got a response, not that evening, not Thursday, or yesterday. I tried to be respectful in case she was busy but I grew tired and just tried again. She agreed that we would meet tomorrow afternoon in a local park, weather permitting. I thought all was well, but then she sent one final text after the planning, it read as follows:
"Are we not gonna talk about how you never texted me about seeing them the last time you asked?"
Okay, what the fuck is this? I haven't responded and don't think I will. This seems like instigating a fight. As an adult that's trying to be respectful, I don't feel I should have to blow her phone up or beg and plea for an answer. This text she sent is just proof that she blew off my original request. Should I have to show some kind of annoying persistence with text messages just to see my kids? I've been so tempted to respond and let her know that she answered her own question by showing her true colors and blowing off my question. My honest feelings are that I hope she ends up in a fatal car accident and burns to death, but I can't say that. Any input here that I'm not seeing? Am I correct in seeing things the way I do? I'm confused and don't want this to evolve into a fight. I hate the power she holds and I feel like my own children have become bait for her own sick pleasure. Please give me a hand here, I have nowhere else to ask this or turn fo guidance.
