Long story short...my step son goes to a different school district. We have him exactly half of the time...split custody, we drive over 700 miles a month to get him to and from school. We spend around $200 a month on gas. All we asked is that his mother take responsibility for about half of the driving. To either drop him off after school or compensate us for gas. We have been doing this without complaint for 5 years. It got old when we realized we buy all of his clothes, school supplies, sneakers, haircuts, winter accessories and so on. So when I brought this up to her all hell broke loose. She told me she couldn't afford it cause she didn't have a job (so get a job lazy!) and the very next day that ... was in Barbados!! Now her husband is in Peru, next month She's going to Iceland not to mention she just got back from Germany and Italy. So I brought up to her that he could very well go to our school district and she would be responsible for all the driving and she flipped out. She has a history with bi-polar disorder she is on xanax and God knows what else, she has major issues with her family and wasn't even raised by her real parents. This chick has serious problems and I am left to deal with it. She uses her son as a pawn and just recently made him cry just so I would get on the phone with her...she does that all the time cause that's the only way she can get to us. My question? I don't know! I am at a loss...do I just let this ... continue being selfish and immature and do what I have to do or do I fight for what we deserve?
