Talked with Jen last night. Suffice it to say, things are not better between her and Fred. He's so paranoid and pussy whipped, it's amazing.
Jen finally finally finally retained that lawyer she talked to a while ago. The lawyer wanted to know if the boys were in therapy, and Jen told her no, that Fred was against therapy. The lawyer said that it would look bad if they boys weren't in therapy, so Jen made an appointment for them to go. Jen told the boys, don't volunteer that you are going, she wanted to tell him when he wasn't so pissed off about something else she did. Well, Mark, the oldest let it slip, and Fred went off the deep end. He called her up and told her that she has totally fucked herself, and that she's going to lose custody of the boys, and he's going to take her for everything she has, just went on and on. He called her the next day and said that the only way he wouldn't go after her, is if she cancelled the next appointment. So there she is, does she have them go, to lose the house they grew up in and is a comfort to them, or take them out until the divorce is final, which will be worse in the long run for the boys.
Well, she caved and took them out of therapy. So Fred is more concerned about himself, then the well being of his children.
What a prick bastard.
She has started to grow a set of balls though. She's made some comments about things, and she just wants him to know that she's not going to be intimidated by him and his lawyer.
Fred called one day last week, and was bitching at Mark on the phone. Mark gives Jen the phone, and Fred goes off on her, how dare she tell the boys that they don't have to listen to the whore when they are there. She never said that, she just said that the whore is not their mother, but they have to follow the rules that are set up there, just like they have to at their house. Of course, it was the whore's daughter that said something to Fred to get him going. So Mark called Fred back later, just to let him know again that he didn't say anything, and had to leave a message. Becuase Fred's a pussy and won't answer his phone when anyone calls him. Mark's message to him was, "No dad, I never said anything to Miranda, but since you are going to believe her over me..." and hung up the phone.
Wouldn't that be a wake up call for someone to realize what an asshole they are being?
