Her Mom and I have always been friendly. She and I talked last school year when her daughter was doing the things she was doing. I tried to be as delicate as possible and we had a good conversation about it. I had her son in my preschool class last year. He was a sweet kid. He missed a lot of school, I hope he doesn't miss as much Kindergarten, but with all of th kid's in the same school now I don't see that happening.
She the Mom, my friend is a RN and she was working last year second shift. But when she was gone there was so much chaos that she ended up leaving her job. He would tell their son, I will be mean to you when your Mother isn't here. I guess that was his way into scaring him in to behaving himself. Now that the son will be at kindergarten all day and the school has reliable childcare before and after school, she's going back to work.
I heard first hand the gossip that he spread about her when they were seperated. A gossipy woman that happened to be at the carpool line at the same time as me would walk with me while we waited for the kid's to be dismissed. I get out of work around 1 and go get the dog and walk her before I pick them up. Anyhow she for some reason told me that he told her that when they were seperated she went to NYC and slept around and partied. I said no, he's a pathological liar bad person who's trying to smear her name. I was in contact with her through much of their separation. He was telling the kid's to sneak out of the house and runaway. She didn't love them anymore and that they should hit her when she's driving so they can come back to him. My Daughter came home one day and told me that her friend said her Mom was mean now. In my preschool class their son would make comments like, my Mom doesn't love me anymore I don't want to go see her. A few of us heard that not just once. It was deplorable behavior. I did tell her if I could help by testifying in court I would. I have no recorded or written proof, so I don't what good it would do.
He's a really bad person and these kid's are stuck for now in this awful religion that expects women to put up and shut up and it makes me sick.
