the airport exchange

I was really good, but felt a bit cornered by his mother and daughter being there based on the way things are. They were at the exit to the airport and it felt awful, I was to drop my daughter off and then walk past them -- it felt like a walk of shame -- hard to explain. So, I told him I would wait until they passed. He called his daughter over and his mother stayed. I told him I was uncomfortable and would wait until she passed as I felt a bit corned. He blew a gasket and then went to a police officer informing him that I was worry and concerned and needed his help. It was horrifying. I was apologizing to the officer and telling him that my exN was trying to humiliate me. The officer cued in quickly and started asking questions. He sent my ex away and told me to stay by him. I told the officer there was a lot of abuse and the officer said he knew there was by the way he approached him and how it all happened. This was all in front of my daughter ... then I get the email below and I couldn't contain myself and replied -- I know, I know

Hey R,

I'll dpo my darnedest to m*ke sure our little gem connects weith you every day while she is with me during this trip.

This transfer went really well, and I am glad that you stated that you understood the need for the presence of my family members under this unusual circumstance. You did say you felt cornered in this wide open Terminal A as you gestered to my mom, who stayed 100 yards or more away from us at all times during the transfer. When it was time for us to part, I hope you appreciated that I addressed your worry about feeling cornered by turning to the state police officer behind us and asking that he provide you with an escort. I hope that made you feel less cornered.
Thanks for the food for S!

All the Best!

S

My response:

Actually, you know it was humiliating and degrading that you contacted an officer - you made a scene with the intent to embarrass me -- you can write a whole bunch of other motivations, but the police officer saw through it all. What is amazing is that this was in front of both of the children -- I noticed that Juliette roled her eyes when you went to the police officer. As you were telling the officer I needed help, I was apologizing the whole time for troubling them -- if I needed help don't you think it would've been more appropriate for me to make the decision to go to the officer? I told the officer that we were settling a custody issue and there was a lot of abuse --- his response was "the abuse was totally apparent the minute "he" came up to us the way that "he" did." I have his badge number and contact information. I really don't know why you do these things and then try to create a false paper trail to act like it is all okay -- it is as if you write it must be true. I do plan on getting a report from the officer.

Doing that sort of thing in front of children is so disgraceful btw it also goes towards parenting skills. What are you modeling?

I hope S enjoys her time and I will look so forward to seeing her on Wednesday. She deserves to be totally ignorant to the craziness around her. I worry about the day she wakes up to it. My God, if she was a bit older and understood what you did with the police officer today -- of that her parents dislike each other so much that her father believes they need police support -- I can't imagine how she would take that. No, tonight was not acceptable in any way. Don't kid yourself and be that delusional.
