I told him I would be more than happy to drive over and pick the items up and save him the cost of shipping and the trouble of packing every thing, etc. But he was insistent on shipping.
Part of our conversation included questions and statements on my son's gender orientation. Ex's father is convinced that anyone who would break up his daughter must be gay. I didn't take the bait.
It's Saturday morning and I still haven't received anything. I'm thinking one of three things -
1. Even though it's five miles away, if they did in fact, pack and ship my son's stuff, it's down in Tampa somewhere in a warehouse running through the system.
2. They're busy and haven't gotten around to it.
3. They're playing games and have no intention of shipping anything.
With everything we've been through, I'm inclined to pick door number three.
On a happier note, my son called last night and told me out of a class of 134, he is ranking number 2 in test scores. Makes me proud
Don't go there, avoid them,
if they can do this, they are CAPABLE of doing worse.
Follow-up with another letter and detail in it what was agreed upon. Ask for an inventory of items being sent and request a tracking #.
Once again give them a timeline or legal action.
You are doing the right thing for your son as any responsible parent would do. What is unfortunate is the attitude of his ex/parents. Your son is not alone, there is a industry out there of vile patriotic citizens who do their best to take advantage our deployed men/women.
