As if I didn't have enough on my plate right now, now he's starting in with the threats again. He had the kids this weekend. On Saturday night I get a nasty text from him cussing at me and asking me where the socks are that he just bought for difficult child 1. He bought them a few weeks ago, and she brought them home but somehow lost them. I don't know what she did with them. I assumed that she put them in the drawer when we got home. They weren't there nor are they in the car. I checked several times from top to bottom but I can not find them. I have no idea how she loses the things she does. It's just a part of her disability I guess. Anyway, I told him I looked for the socks but I couldn't find them. I also told him that he needed to stop cussing at me and giving me anxiety. He was directing his anger at the wrong person.
I told him to make difficult child 1 accountable for her actions since she is after all fourteen years old and should be in charge of her own clothes. He then proceeded to tell me that his wife was on the phone with CPS turning me in for my house being so messy that I was unable to find a package of new socks. Even though I have nothing to hide, his threatening made my anxiety go up considerably. His assumption that my house is so darned messy that we cannot find anything is dead wrong. I just cleaned my house from top to bottom that day and my house is spotless. Still, my run in with social services in the past got me really nervous. Had they have come over (they didn't) they would have seen a perfectly clean house. I spoke to my mom and boyfriend about this and they both felt that he was bluffing the whole time. Still, I think it's terribly evil of him to play upon my anxiety the way he is doing. He knows how paranoid I am when it comes to CPS. He is making my anxiety go into overdrive and it's pissing me off. Now he has more ammunition to use against me should he decide to go to court and take away the kids from me. All over a damn package of socks. I wish I would stop letting him get at me the way he does. This man makes me SO angry!
