    Well it is just one of those silly little things that forums come out with - we've had so many problems trying to get the divorce through in the last 18 months that I know nearly all of them from divorce-help forums, but I'm glad I cleared that one up for you!

    Well your interpretation is just as accurate! :D:D

    As a PWC myself I just cannot understand why my OH's ex carries on the way she does - in her eyes, my ex is nothing to do with their child, just a cash machine; proven once again by the latest event, the poor little boy had had D&V since Thursday night, she bothered herself to take him to the doctors on Tuesday and discovered that it was food poisoning - then didn't bother to tell my OH until Wednesday once she'd realised he was too ill for his contact visit last night. If my child so much as has a sniffle or any kind of injury, I inform his dad because he has a right to be involved in his life as much as possible. I've lost count of the amount of times my OH's little boy has arrived here covered in scrapes and bruises or full of cold or illness that she hasn't bothered to inform my OH about. Right from the very start I knew what her game was, that my OH's role in their sons life was purely a money-making exercise, and I've been really harsh with my OH and made him finally accept the situation as to how it really is, which has been very hard but better in the long run as he's now under no illusions as to his role in his son's life. It makes me sooo angry but you have to try and swallow it down and get on with your own every day life and relationship, much as it is very stressful at times!
