Stirring?

Well, I had an eventful Saturday.  Well, maybe not eventful as such, but it was somewhat informative.  Psycho called The Ex while The Toddler and myself were round there (he still only gets supervised access, and for a very good reason in my opinion, given his potentially violent temper etc etc).  He usually does, and The Ex says it is probably to wind him up, as Psycho apparently knows that he sees The Toddler every Saturday.  But also, for whatever reason, Psycho also apparently thinks I’m “still” being a bitch about access.  Now as I never have been a bitch about access, I was a little thrown by the use of the word “still” there.  The Ex has always seen The Toddler on a weekly basis.  And until she started nursery, we were very flexible with our availability.  Now I’m not sure if The Ex has been telling his brother lies (which wouldn’t surprise me) or whether Psycho is just believing what the hell he likes.  Now the latter is also a distinct possibility, as Psycho claims that he witnessed my mum driving like a lunatic while aiding me and The Toddler in our escape from The Ex’s.  In reality, it was my dad who came and picked us up.  And given that it was late, and we lived in an area populated by speed bumps, driving like a lunatic was not really an option.  There was also a baby in the car.  Another reason for driving carefully.  Oh, and Psycho was actually in America on the day that I left The Ex.  Hmm.  So The Ex isn’t the only one who tells lies frequently.  At least I can find the whole thing amusing now, rather than letting it all get me down.  I do wish they could all just tell the truth though, rather than trying to stir things.  And what does Psycho actually gain from trying to vilify me?  Why does he care so much?  I’m amazed he has time to, if there’s as much going on in his life as he likes to try and claim.  Poor guy.

The Toddler’s friendship with Postie continues.  She gave him stickers this week.  Postman Pat stickers as it happens.  He was impressed by her ability to make the association.  They now also high-five each other all the time.  He’s been trying to teach her that one for a while, but she finally gave in this week.  I would feel guilty, but as he’s the one encouraging her, I don’t.

The Ex’s family finally gave him some presents.  Well his mum and one of his brother’s did anyway.  He still doesn’t even have a card from his sister.  Hmm.  Charming.
