~This Is My World~

(sent email to my stepdaughter, my sister and friends at 2:15pm)” I wrote:

“We had Sarah’s first softball game this morning. She is playing for City of Bellflower. It has been a crazy season. Her team only had maybe 4 practices before today. The two original coaches up and quit right, so they scrambled to get some coaches together. Keith said he can help when he is available.

She is on the Reds! They played the Yankees and lost 17-11.

The coaches were able to throw 3 pitches per batter, and that was it. The innings went 3 outs or all the way through the line up, which I don’t think was too fair as they had a 2-3 player advantage, but oh well…To stop a play, they had to either make the play or throw the ball to the pitcher in the pitcher’s circle.

Sarah fouled out the first time up, got a TRIPLE the second time up (boy, she smacked that ball too!) and struck out the last time up.

She said she had fun playing! It was pretty exciting! If I don’t get larygitis tomorrow, I will be surprised! LOL!

That’s about it for the softball game. Gotta go, as her and Thomas are waiting to go out and ride their scooters! (it’s sooo hot!)

Take care, stay cool!

P~”

So, we KNOW we listen to what kids have to say, but they Don’t run things. They don’t get their way because they’re kids.

On June 13, 2002, Keith and his daughter were emailing back and forth about summer visitation. It was between him and his daughter. Her mother’s e-mail wasn’t listed on the emails, but guess who responded as well, this morning?

In this email response from the ex tonight, she writes, “Wow, you are really a great dad, with your attitude. Guess who she sounds like, you did this and now you will suffer. I agree with (daughter) and you are being ridiculous about this and letting your wife push your kids out of your life. Too bad you can’t see past fat’s grip on you.” That’s her term of endearment for me, LOL.

Keith responded back 2223 with “HA HA! Aren’t you one to talk about attitude! HA HA! If you only KNEW…boy, if you ONLY knew…” (I don’t even know what that means, LOL)

She emailed at 2323 and at one part, Keith had asked how his son was, and she pops off with, “Why don’t you ask him. No gift, no card nothing not even a phone call for graduation. WOW fat really is jealous, so much so you can’t even use the phone, she must eat holding on to you so you don’t make any move without her. This is TOOOOOO controlling for me.” WTF? Keith has often wondered why he can’t their kids on THEIR cell phones, instead of having to deal with their mother when he called on their home phone.

She emailed again at 2336 writing, “If I only knew you are not the person who is writing the e-mails and in fact dick knows nothing except what you feed him”

Um, WHAT?

In another response from her from an email regarding Graduation pictures, the mix-up and her trying to put the blame on Keith for it, she wrote at 2339, “you truly are a freak and you married a fat one.”

Keith asked her in a 2355 response, “and do besides your ever friendly name calling of me and my wife, what else is your problem? you can’t control me? you no longer have control over this picture situation?”

Ex responded to Keith’s email. She wrote at 06:36am:

“Is this how you make yourself feel better?

My kids do not read my e-mails without my access code. If you are embarrassed by what you said about (daughter) not being articulate enough to explain the situation or the part about hissy fit then you should not have said it verbally or in an e-mail.

Your vacation is scheduled at the beginning of an during the school year for both the kids. They are unable to be there when you have scheduled your vacation due to school.

If you had put them first in your life, then you would have asked for time off when they were not in school.

You have school schedules and your wife has time to find out when school starts so……why did you schedule your vacation when they are in school.

You are good at trying to blame others to make yourself look good.

It is tooo late for you sorriness. “

HUH? and what is “sorriness”?

Keith responded back to her at 07:36am:

“so now we are back to the kids do not read your e-mails without your access code, and what you have it posted up? because other than that, you would have to verbally give it to them, and you said she can and did read the e-mails I sent you that in no way shape or form called her “‘stupid and retarded” but yet you told her that I did. So, in answer to the question I asked you days ago, yes, you did p lay a part in her reading the e-mail I sent you.

I am not embarrassed by anything I wrote. Articulate i snot calling her stupid or retarded. If she looked up the word like you said, she would have seen that. Sounds more like you are embarrassed by getting caught in your own lies. I am NEVER embarrassed about what I write to you. I have no reason to lie.

You already told me that (son) is not coming. Funny that HE can’t visit me because of this reason you state, but he sure can go to your moms for about 4 weeks after you leave huh and STILL not find time to come here huh? Interesting.

You just said (daughter) doesn’t start until around August 28th. So she can’t come here from Aug 11-24, a two week period, we all agreed to? I see. She has plenty of time to get ready for school before she leaves for CA with you, and I can help buy her some things when she is here, so this excuse is poor.

It has nothing to do with putting the kids first. There is PLENTY of proof that I have ALWAYS fought to have the kids here when I was on vacation, BEFORE school started for them but you disallowed it for one reason or another.

No, I have no schedules that state when school starts for next year. It seems you aren’t even too sure about when it starts.

Blame others for what (her name) ? I am not blaming anyone for anything. Quit trying to play Spin Doctor, because your self esteem is so low that you have to constantly LIE. Keith”

10:45pm- Keith writes, “Interesting…back on Feb. 20th, you mentioned something in an e-mail to me about how “the kids are tired of the stuff that goes along with making arrangements to do simple things.”

I asked you if this meant you were no longer going to let them read your email from me concerning court ordered visitation or court order anything.

Your reply on 2/21/02 was, “they never read my emails.”

HA HA! I just thought that was funny because you recently accused me of calling (daughter) “stupid and retarded” when it never happened. I told you I was “glad” that you continue to allow the kids to read your e-mails (for my own reasons) and I thanked (daughter) for stating verbatim what I wrote, TO YOU. I asked you what kind of sick person goes around telling their kids the lies you tell (son and daughter). Do you remember what you wrote back? It is soo classic, you wrote, “No lies, she can get into my email and did” HA HA HA! But yet, back in feb you said “they never read my emails.” HA HA HA!

The sad part is, you believe your own lies about me. If (daughter) had read the e-mail, she would have seen that NO WHERE did I called her “stupid” or “retarded….”

Keith goes on to talk about summer visitation and the issues therein with that.

She didn’t like Keith’s response. At 06:50 this morning she wrote him, reminding, “unfortunately you are not through with me. We have children together and whether your wife likes it or not, that is a fact.

Why don’t you write your own e-mails or make it at least seem like you do.”

Keith responded back to her at 07:27am:

” I am thru with you. YOU are the ONLY one that forgets that we have kids together, the only thing that reminds you we do have kids together is that check coming in.

Like I have told you MANY times before, I am telling you again, everything that goes out of here is from me. If you don’t like what I say, too bad. IF you don’t believe me, I really don’t care. Unless it has my wife’s name on it, it comes from me. again, if you don’t like what I say, or if you don’t believe me, I don’t care. “

07:38am- “You are lieing right there, your wife is the cause and proble. The jealousy she feels towards (son and daughter) and towards me is her motivation to stick her nose where it does not belong and everyone, all of us know it.

Do you actually believe that I think you send all these emails?? Right and I have some oceanfront property in the desert. Don’t tell me or especially (daughter) to leave them out of it. They are the reason things are the way are between you and your kids.

Your name calling of your daughter was not appropriate.”

She writes again at 07:46am- “I never said I would not pay half of the return I simply said I would pay for the trip down and you could pay for the return home.

Why does it matter what time (daughter) is up on a Saturday night. How old are you? She is at home with a friend spending the night and this is common. She does not get into trouble and knows right from wrong. If you are so concerned then become a parent.

No games. I said I am buying the tickets on the 10th and plans need to be made and your money as per court order must be paid for half of the transportation.

(Son) does not want to visit at all, I just asked him this morning. I told him you wanted to speak to him and he said you can call him.

Don’t think for one minute you are going to make this about bad kids and their bad mom. (Son and daughter) are good kids in fact very good kids better than you will raise. The fact is that you have created this monster and there are no games involved.

I told you the dates of travel and when I am going to buy tickets. If you fail to pay half of the airfare then you are going against court orders.

Have you ever questioned why it is that you are supposed to be at work and yet I receive e-mails. Even late at night when I know you are really sleeping. Someone is corresponding and it isn’t Richard.

So you quit playing games. Make amends with (son and daughter) before they write you off all together.

They are tired of your fames and that is why you are getting the responses you are.

Good luck, (her name)”

Keith responded back at 7:49am, “Get a life. I am through with you. Get into some SERIOUS therapy, you need it. Keith.” and again at 7:52am he added to his e-mail from minutes ago, “Your lies are not becoming of you. Can’t call (son) he is never home and doesn’t return phone calls. I am so through with you as of now.”

The ex emailed Keith back at 6:57am about the “hissy fit” comment.

“No lies, she can get into my e-mail and did, she read the part you wrote about not making plans just to have someone throw a hissy fit and change them.

I told you the e-mail was uncalled for.

She looed the word articulate up in the dictionary and wrote her own e-mail.

Maybe you and your wife had better be more careful when writing.

There was no reason for you to say what you did and further more it had nothing at all to do with the situation.”

Keith emailed her back at 7:48am stating the obvious. “I just BET she got into your e-mail all on her own, with no coercion or anything from you, uh huh right. REALLY goes against things you have said in the past…

My wife, and kids here have NOTHING to do with this situation, so maybe you and (daughter) better keep them out of it. Keith”

SO Keith forwarded his ex his daughters email at 10:43 pm. He told his ex, “OBVIOUSLY you have been busy and having a field day! Did you also impose your accusation against me of calling (daughter) stupid and retarded onto her as well? I JUST bet you did.

Glad to hear you continue to do this…what kind of sick person goes around telling their kids the LIES you tell (son and daughter)? My GOD….Incredible…Keith”

Well, Well, Well, Keith’s daughter emailed him at 7:57pm. NOT happy. Seems his ex told her what Keith said about the “hissy fit.” SMH.

The ex emailed at 07:32am this morning. She said, “Richard, A 14 year-old who is unhappy can and will throw hissy fits, but is a lot more mature than a 35 year old who stops speaking to children for days on end. Or an adult who gets mad because of the teenagers decision and then treats her bad for the days she is there. Come on, act your age not your shoe size. This message was uncalled for. The airfare with no specials, no extras for both is $682.00 roundtrip from Spokane to San Diego and then from Los Angeles to Spokane. This is the worse case scenario, and your half is simply $341.00 Get ready to pay.”

Gee, wonder who and what she’s talking about…. <eyeroll> She’s also pissed that Keith just won’t send her money for his share of airfare at her word. AS IF… LOL
