lost_in_life_again Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 so...the divorce papers say my ex can claim our daughter as an exemption on his taxes every other year, provided he is up to date in child support. this would be his year, however he isn't up to date. Considering I have supported her nearly on my own all year and I am the custodial parent, I told him that I would not sign the paper he needs in order to claim her. Then I get the guilt trip about how I make more money than him and he shouldn't even have to pay child support. A civil conversation turned in to one of our bitter arguments that caused the divorce in the first place. He called me names, I told him he doesn't do enough, he told me he would sign over his rights to her so that he doesn't have to deal with me. he's just so immature and just doesn't get it. What he does get...or should I say what comes easily...is making me feel like I have an obligation to help him. He feels that his life sucks because of me, I tell him that its not my fault his life is the way it is...he needs to stop blaming me, stop making excuses and start taking responsibility for his own actions. And yet after I say all of this and after we hang up on one another a couple times, I still feel guilty. I hate it!! Just looking to vent, my friends are sick of hearing all of the drama that I continue to have and most likely will have for the next 13 years...
Ronni_W Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Your vent was heard...and your frustration is understood. I think guilt sucks the most cos we do know that we're doing it to ourselves. Hang in there...hopefully he'll get his own life sooner than later. (((hugs))).
