Hey divorce bros. My last wedding anniversary was last Friday, one day after my youngest's birthday and one week after stbxw's birthday.

Stbxw rescheduled movie out with two of my kids she "promised" them during her birthday party with kids on 6/16 Friday because she forgot she had dinner plans with her new bf she lives with for same Monday 6/19 night. She defended this as saying she only asked a 10 and 7 y/o if they "might like to" go to a movie with her and her bf.

She had me tell them that it had to be rescheduled to Tuesday and her new bf wouldn't be coming (this after two Saturdays before he slept through his alarm and missed his first scheduled meeting with them and had to be woken up by his mom knocking on his front door).

Stbxw signed separation contract (something usually enforced on my jurisdiction) for no alimony, I get kids every other night intkl she has a larger house then currently new bf has, and she gets only 50% of evenings between 5pm-830pm and Saturdays while I get Sundays.

This week, first of summer vacation, I took week off work on some occupational therapy stuff with my special needs 9yo while over kids are at day camp.

She is autistic, nonverbal, and while she wears clothes outside of house, would not wear them here, and stbxw, who was a stahm could never change this.

Well, it's three days into me changing that, and while first two hours were really rough, and first day kinda rough, it's now three days in and it's locked in. Yeah, she needs to have two sets of clothes, and half the time just wants to wear a swim suit, she keeps it on even when I'm not in the same room.

Oh, and when stbxw and her new bf and his mom finally did take my kids to a park on Saturday, they couldn't get my special needs kid to use a public restroom and she peed in her pants.

So partially just to dab on the ex, partially because why not, I fixed that shit too. Hey, turns out you need to do first-then, statements, and only when kiddo is calm, and give her multiple warnings and not be emotionally activated yourself when you ask kiddo to go and then she's not just okay going, but then will, in her echolalia way of saying some phrases proudly repeat "I sit on the potty!"

Life can be good my fellows.
