Gabriel's travel plans

Actually, I was trying to accommodate your schedule.  And as I explained to
Gabriel: it's a bad idea to pack at the last minute, so he should be ready
to go the night before - he shouldn't require "time to pack" on the day of
the flight.  Moreover, it's *YOUR* bad idea for him to drive all the way
back to Phoenix after court and catch a flight from there rather than
catching one directly from LA.

As for your comment that 'as always I don't give a shit': *you're* the one
making this difficult by requiring him to go all the way back to Phoenix
before coming here - I would have him catch a flight right from LAX.  That
would be much more convenient for him.  And as for giving a shit: you're
absolutely right!  Why the hell should I give a shit about you?  Are you
freaking crazy?  After the trouble and the complications you've caused for
me and my friends and Gabriel!?!?!  And you still have to audacity to act
like I owe you something more?  God damn, you're a trip.  Even without
consideration for your direct actions which resulted in me being detained
for 3 months last year, you're my estranged spouse and we're not in good
terms!!!!  Why the fuck should I give a shit about you???  Are you retarded
or something?  Can you tell me one time...just one single time...that you
did anything at all that would be consistent with you giving a shit about
me - or Gabriel, for that matter?  What's wrong with you that you think you
can treat other people any way you want (which means "like shit") but
they're supposed to be considerate to you?  Fuck!!!  You're a fuckin' piece
of work!  You are the quintessential narcissist!

I might also point out that, regarding visitation over an extended school
break, it begins upon the completion of school immediately preceding the
break.  That means it begins Friday afternoon.  You'll be in LA for the
hearing and therefore, I am well within my rights to require that you
release Gabriel to my care immediately following the hearing - straight
from LA.  YOU said you want Gabriel to drive back to Phoenix with you and
you guilted him into saying that's what he wanted as well, so I agreed to
that.  Again, I am accommodating your wishes!  And you have no standing for
your argument about the flight time that *HE* chose.

Oh my god, girl!  Are you *EVER* right about *ANYTHING*?  Or is it only
when you speak with *me* that you're always wrong and say stupid things?
And I don't mean "stupid" as in "I'm angry", I mean "stupid" as in you make
yourself look like an idiot.

I don't care if you take Gabriel to the airport or not because if you don't
then I will arrange for his transportation. A limo from your place to the
airport would only cost about $35 and he can put it on his credit card.
But if you say you're going to and then you don't, and that results in him
missing his flight, then you're at fault, not me.

Being at the airport by 9:30am means that if you get up at 8am then you
have plenty of time (since Gabriel should already be packed).  8am is not
that ungodly of a time to wake up.

So, you've made the general implication that I am an asshole, though you've
not provided any explanation of what that is based on.  So, tell me how I'm
being an asshole.

P.S. You are responding with hostility because you (like most people)
assume that your adversary thinks like you, so you're assuming my
intentions are what yours would be.  It seems that everything you do (with
respect to me and Gabriel) is motivated by a desire to make things
difficult for me. And so, you assume everything I do is to make things
difficult for you.  But you're really quite inconsequential to me and I
can't be bothered to concern myself with trying to make things difficult
for you.  Other than being Gabriel's biological mother, you have no
relevance to me.  I don't mean to be harsh but you just don't seem to get
it unless I am.
		

Well, I've been racking my brain for the past 20 minutes, trying to think
of one thing that I've done to you which would qualify me as an "asshole"
and I can't come up with anything.

Please tell me at least one thing so that I can agree with you on the point
of being an asshole.

Thank you,
Fox
		

Desiree:

I reread your email again, because I have difficulty believe anyone can be
as obtuse you're appearing to be.  I thought, maybe I misread it or
something.  But alas, I did not!

Though, I am very confused, as frequently happens when reading your emails,
about one statement you made: "but as always, you don't give a shit about
your son as long as it makes things difficult for me".  How, exactly, is me
saying "I will assume that the flight is too early for you and I will
proceed with arranging Gabriel's transportation to the airport", making
anything difficult for you?  On the contrary, it makes things easier for
you.  It removes the burden of waking up and bringing him to the airport.
Do you comprehend my confusion?  Additionally, how would be providing a
livery to take Gabriel to the airport adversely affect Gabriel?

In all seriousness, are you retarded?  Is that what you consider a
legitimate argument?  So, if I try to be helpful; if I provide a solution,
at my own expense, to what you perceive as a problem; you become
belligerent and declare that I'm an asshole?  Is that just your default
reaction when you know that you're wrong and that you've lost and there is
no reasonable course of action you can take which would not help you save
face?

And this is how things are with you when I'm NOT being adversarial.
Perhaps it's because dysfunctional relationships are all you know - you
were raised, after all, by a mother who has been divorced...what was it
again, 4 times?  Clearly, a biological parent is not always what's best for
a child.
