The saga continues...

Yes I am still here. Under much deliberation and reading your kind responses I realised that i should stay.

Well...

Another visit today.

This time I had everything planned out to avoid being charmed again.

A quick debriefing-
Have a one year old child with ex n.
Hadn't seen exn for 6 months until 2 weeks ago.
First contact was fine- I was strong, tough, unmoveable.

Second contact- he charmed me- left me spinning.
Starting texting me constantly about the baby. Verbally pushed me around and generally just tried to take over and dominate.

So I sent him a text telling him when his visits are and that I want no contact other than at those times.
He sent back immediately- why are you so angry?
And then later- whatever happened to working out a friendship?

I ignored them both.

Fast forward to today and the n had not contacted me for 6 six days- it was heaven.
He pulled up his car in the driveway to pick up our child and get this- HE BEEPED for me to come out!!! I ignored him.
After a few minutes he got out of his car in a huff and knocked on the door.
I opened the Big door and left the screen door shut and locked. Immediate advantage to me as I could see him but he couldn't see me.
I said- one minute I'll just get him.
EXN looked very angry and wouldn't make eye contact - which was fine with me as I was trying not to make eye contact either.

Went and got my child who by this stage was clinging to me like a leech as soon as he saw EXN and handed him over.
My son bawled his eyes out. He doesn't seem to like EXN much.

I watched EXN from the window , he strapped my child into his car seat (still bawling) and jumped into the drivers seat slamming the door.
Off he went.

I had a great day- spoiled myself but going clothes shopping by myself- something I haven't done in a long time! It was awesome!

I stayed out the whole 4 hours that EXN had the child.

I timed my return to be 5 minutes before EXN was to arrive.

But as I was heading home, his car was coming from the other direction and neither of us acknowledged with a wave or anything.
He just gave me an evil glare.

So I put two and two together and realised that EXN had dropped my bubba off early with my parents (I live with them).

When I pulled in the driveway I noticed a car parked out the front of my house. It had stickers on it etc and was very masculine if that makes sense. It's the neighbors from across the road.
Anyway I thought nothing more of it until my phone beeped with a text. It was EXN.
This is what he wrote-

Dont know if that was your boyfriends car out the front and don't really care. Having said that under no circumstances Is (my sons name) to call anyone else daddy but me!

I didn't respond.

My mum told me that EXN had got out of his car and stared at the car in question and he visibly looked livid.

I just find the whole thing hilarious- here he is fuming about a neighbors car for Christ sake. He is so mentally deranged!!!

What is your take on the text?

Your post makes me so sad for

Your post makes me so sad for your little boy, to have a father like that :( His text shows such a suspicious and paranoid mind. It must be so hard allowing him to be close... I'm glad you had a better week and are back to feeling strong!

Journey on...

The real issue is he is

The real issue is he is getting you back into his drama, his thinking, his disorder, his world. You won't be happy in his world, and you don't want him in yours. Delete his texts, enjoy the breaks when he picks up Junior, and love your child when you have him. Your narc will recede back into the abyss of darkness from which he came, and faster if you choose to ignore, delete, and avoid any interaction or communication. He is a narc, and that really says it all! ds

He is a jealous, angry, shell

He is a jealous, angry, shell of a man. He is threatened by the mere thought of another man being in your life. He used your child, and the fact that he wanted him to call nobody else but him "Daddy"...........but what he clearly was doing, was letting you know how displeased he was. Next time he comes to pick up your child, act as though you never gave it a 2nd thought. That his reaction was that unimportant to you. Hey, maybe you could borrow your neighbors car, find a really good looking man that he has never met and have him sport a tee shirt that reads "#1 Dad to be"...........and parade around in front of the narc. That would send him over the edge. Now, of course I am just kidding...............isn't worth the time or aggravation. But it's funny to picture it happening! LOL Bottom line, his "property" is being invaded, and he does not like it.

Custody with Jerk

I'd be really tempted to put a camera above my door if he is going to pick your son up at the house routinely. I have had to send my daughters (when they were younger) to his house even though they were crying. He did not care on bit or even try to comfort them. You never know what these jerks are going to pull so cover your behind!

That is actually a fantastic

That is actually a fantastic idea! I hadn't thought of that one. It's definately worth having an evidence trail. Im probably going to get a gps tracker soon for my son to hide it in a Teddy bear or something like that- so I know where he is at all times. Just to be safe....

BUT

His show of jealousy should mean nothing as it is not about him being jealous and wanting you back. It's only about him being jealous because you are not interested in him anymore but, him not wanting anyone else interested in you. All about his control over you. Otherwise he would have shown more respect and consideration for you whilst in the relationship. This is so where I went wrong. Remember, they only think about themselves and the effects of events on them. It is never about US. Sorry, don't mean to rain on your parade but think long and hard about the consequences. Dee x

Love it!

Yep, he is jealous! Oh somebody else might be giving you attention! Oh deary me! Recommend that this neighbour parks his car outside yours more often! He is WELCOME to! I think it must be so hard for loving mums to have to hand their children over because of bloody custody rights. I think you were really strong and it was great you concentrated on going out for a few hours and had some time to yourself. That is the best therapy. Welldone for being so strong and for acting so sensibly with the front door. You stayed in control. May you always be in control. xxx

It IS incredibly hard to keep

It IS incredibly hard to keep my composure when I am handing over the love of my life (my Son) to a psychopath. I envy those who can have NC - I really do. If EXN wasn't the father I slamm the door in his face. Unfortunately I can't be too horrible to him as I don't want him to take out his anger at me on the child or get at me through the child. It's hard to find a balance between being businesslike and being ice cold.

He's jealous. Good for him.

He's jealous. Good for him. Stay No Contact, unless its in regards to baby boy. Good. They think they have all the power. We have some too when we know what were dealing with. You know now. Stay strong, calm and don't let him suck you back in with his craziness. Remember when we know better we do better

That old chestnut

Why are you so angry? God if I had a £1 for every time that was thrown at me, I would be a millionaire. Duh, the only one it would not be obvious to, is him. Yes, mentally deranged. You got it in one. Don't respond. He knows he is loosing his grip on you with NC, as much as you can with him being the father. Stay strong. Deex
