So today I headed out for a walk with the baby~ we were going to run some errands and pay a couple of bills. We were headed across a parking lot when someone pulls up beside us and calls me by a name I haven't been called by anyone except friends that I have known for 20+ years.
At first I didn't recognize her and then I did...
I am ever more reinforced that I need to move from here. Way to much drama...
The person we ran into was my son's brother's mother. Of course she wanted all the details of what happened with my sons father. I kept telling her I really don't know much. I know what the FBI told me and what I saw in the way of the photographs the FBI showed me. But anything else~ since I haven't talked to my son's father since the morning he was arrested (before he was arrested) and I don't know anything else. Of course there is what my son's father's wife told me~ but I cannot believe anything the woman says since she has told conflicting stories to people through all of this.
She told my brother one story about some information, told me a totally different story and then told a mutual acquaintance still a third story. So as far as I am concerned the woman is an unreliable source of any info.
The woman I ran into and I were once upon a time friends. We spent a lot of time together and did some really fun stuff together. But being friends with this woman was also chaotic and... weird. She has some really good things about her, but then there is the weird side of her and you never knew when it would come out.
But no matter~ that was then and this is now...
Today we spent about 2 hours catching up and chatting about a bunch of different stuff. From the sounds of things she and my son's father's wife are friends now. They seem to have ironed out the anger and resentments of the last 20+ years that built up between them. I wish them luck being friends.
I am sitting here tonight processing some of the information that was shared by this woman. Some of it is just BS. Take it with a grain of salt... Like when she told me that the "wife" told her that she didn't think my son was her husbands... hey don't I ever wish that were the case. I would be the FIRST person going to anyone, everyone, to prove he wasn't my son's father if there was even an inkling of a chance that he wasn't. Hell I might even make a deal with the devil to make it so. Anything to protect my son from the evil that is his father. I wish...
Having her go around telling people that the baby isn't her husbands does not hurt me in any way shape or form. It doesn't hurt my son either. As it stands in a few months I will be able to file abandonment and get MrStupid's name off the birth certificate and change my son's last name to mine. He will not have to know anything about his sperm donor.
Moving will also help, since once we are in the new place, no one will know anything about my son's father and he will not hear any of the nasty rumors that this town spews. I am so sick of it...
Since this is not the first person who has told me that my son's father's wife has said this, I am going to include it in my statement for the name change. Rumor or not it will help since she has told multiple people the same thing. Why should my baby share the same last name as her? She can have the last name, I don't want it for my son.
I am tired and irritable and plain cranky over this whole mess...
