the never ending battle

Of course what else would I be talking about other then the crap that Gary and I are constantly dealing with from his ex. After we got back from vacation we had to make "the transfer" of Rylee back to her mom. She of course decided to inform him at that time that she was going to take away the Sunday nights that she had granted Gary almost 6 months ago. I actually laughed when she told him because her behavior is so incredibly predictable. I knew she would be mad that the couple times she talked to Rylee while we were gone Rylee was not miserable and begging to come home. She said it was because her lawyer told her to be following the paperwork since Gary has informed her that he will be going back for 50% custody. He is going to pursue his parenting agreement to be changed to state that we will have her on Sunday nights the weekends that are ours, and add Monday to his visitation. That would mean that they would have equal amount of visitation with Rylee. This should not be too hard for him to accomplish which is good news. However, she has the misinformation that he is doing this because of me and the fact that we are getting remarried. That is the most ridiculous thing I could think of. The more time we have Rylee means the more interaction we have to have with her crazy ass. I would love to limit that as much as possible. Not to mention the fact that she has brainwashed this child into hating to come here, so as I have said before she is not always the easiest child to deal with. I am behind Gary 100% because he is the best father I have ever met in my life. However, I am certainly not the driving force behind this battle. He is very determined though to see this happen, and so of course I have no choice but to support him.

I joked with him the other day saying that if putting up with all of this does not prove that I love him then there is nothing that will. We are just under 45 days from the wedding and I know this is something that I will battle with for the next 20 years and then some. She will always spend her energy blaming me for breaking up their marriage, and all the other things that Gary has choosen to do since. I am willing to take on that added stress if that means it makes things a little easier for him. It really makes me appreciate the very minimal contact that I have with Joey. As much as I disagree with some of his choices, I am thankful that we have a much more mature relationship then Gary and his ex. And if anyone knows my ex using mature and his name in the same sentence NEVER happens.
