I stepped out on a limb today and told my ex that he can only communicate with me via text or email and only about our boys. His response? Guilt trip city.

I stepped out on a limb today and told my ex that he can only communicate with me via text or email and only about our boys. His response? Guilt trip city. Now all of a sudden, I'm becoming less and less involved in their lives because I'm not calling them. He took away my ability to talk to them on my oldest son's cell phone, which I pay for. He's now shipping my son's cell phone back to me because they have one for him now. I'm only allowed to call on their home phone or my ex's cell. I'm going through the ringer on child support until legal aid gets it fixed, especially since I cover all the travel expenses from Houston to Oklahoma City. I shouldn't owe a penny. We barely make ends meet as it is. Now, they're threatening to take my driver's license away. I can't say that I know you're systematically taking me out of their lives. I still talk to my boys, but we do it when my ex isn't home. Those boys know how much I love them. When we're here, we still have loads of fun. So I'm not gonna be guilted for this because I'm not stupid. I know the games. Okay, vent over.

Hah... he is refusing to talk to me only in written form, saying I'm putting stipulations on him, trying to control him. I told him I'm an awesome mom, and the boys are going to grow up being awesome Godly men, fulfilling all the plans and purposes for their lives that God has for them. They all know that they're loved and missed, and we have a fun time when they're here

I'm putting everything in writing because soon, I'm going back to court in Oklahoma to get my visitation and our custody status changed to joint legal custody. Right now, he has sole residential custody and I have visitation. I can't even go have lunch with my kids while they're at school when I'm in Oklahoma. I am also asking for more visitation during the summer. 

Is it sad that I'm praying when he goes to court on July 10th for a bounced check charge, that he finally goes to jail since it's his seventh one?
