If I wanted to slander my ex on the inernet,

it would be SO EASY!

I could have photographed the black eye my son came home with, after being shot in the face with an air cannon. I could have sat down here every day for the last year or 2, and chronicled every time he flaked out, stood up my childcare people, forgot to take kids to school/classes. I could advertise my blog on the sites already frequented by people he wants to like him- like in the bike community, which he proudly announced to me he'd alienated already, because "those people are all jerks." I would make fun of him for always using other people, like his girlfriend, kids, friends, as talent, because he sucks as a performer, and his main talent is BS-ing.
But I don't have time or energy to spend attacking people. If I was going to park here & send messages out to THE WHOLE WORLD, I would be inviting them all to come see me: I've been reading cards at a local shop that I'm really proud to be working at, and giving Ghost Hunt Tours for another really slick outfit.
Or, I might share something upcoming, like the folksy EP I'm rehearsing for with my wonderful boyfriend.
But the folks I work for tend to take care of their own advertising, and I don't generally find the time for this kind of public diary.
My ex does, though.
He seems to find plenty of time to slander me & my (very supportive & sweet) boyfriend, even if he has to make stuff up to make me sound real mean.
What's he so mad about?
His flakiness was upsetting my family. My BF, my mom, myself, 4 babysitters, my whole family at Thanksgiving...he kept saying he'd start respecting other people's schedules, and stop dragging the kids to work with him for cute points but he never actually started behaving. So I stopped putting him on the schedule. His girlfriend seems to be able to handle a schedule. I can deal w/her just great!
But instead of thanking her for being his secretary, he decides to go to his blog, and say I'm SO MEAN, and talk about what a GREAT dad he is, even though he refused to read a book to a child until he'd been a dad for a full decade, he's never supported a single thing his daughter does unless it makes him look good, and he pays a pittance for child support, less than half of what the state would ask him to, and complains endlessly about it.
IF I WANTED TO FIGHT WITH HIM:
I could go to the family law center, and get some lawyer to proclaim him unfit, and REALLY take his kids away! It would be so easy, with all of my friends & family he's upset, they'd be happy to tell their stories. But all I want is for him to act like an adult, and vent his anger to a therapist, not by slandering me & my peeps on his blog, which has all the comments filtered, so you can't disagree with him.
I've been trying to stay out of these internet flame wars, but I get really mad when you pick on my friends. I didn't want to give my stupid ex any more attention, but I can't sit by & let him say BS about my sweetheart, who is the most loving, supportive person I've ever been with, and who takes GREAT care of my ex's kids: helps w/homework, fixes bikes, disciplines, guides, cleans up pee, and NEVER asks for a pat on the back for it, even when he should!
