so are you just trying to slap us all in the face here right now??????


Drama, drama, drama. Just think a year ago you would've been waiting 160 days instead of 90. Slap yourself in the face and wake up. Some guy makes a mistake and people jump all over him because they're frustrated? If you're this frustrated after 90 days there might be other issues.... Don't call the bad karma gods down on the rest of us.


really who do you think you are talking to one of your kids!!!!! we are adults if you dont like it you dont have to say anything!!!! I doubt that would be something u would say to someones face...It is real easy to type something without any reprecussions

ok wee i dont know if this is good news for us or bad news ......but i read in another post where a couple called for their interview appointment and the earliest date she could get was january 5th and she called them on 11/28 ......so do you think my hopes of having her here next month will be realistic?


I would say you would be cutting that awful close. You haven't received your NOA2 yet...That file still has to go to NVC after it's approved here and then on to the embassy and all that. I suppose it's possible she could be here by the end of Jan but not to burst your bubble you really need to have realistic expectations here otherwise you are just looking at being disappointed.

Right now I wish I could get away on an island for about 10 days (with no internet of course). By the time Id get back, there would have to be some good news.


I only check USCIS about twice a day these days... about mid-day, because of the time difference, and then once at night... and its always a waste of time.


I just noticed your timeline .......we sent it the same day so hopefully we will both get the good news on the same day!!!!! pray !!!! and that is a great idea about the island let me know if you find one i will join you!!!!

Philippinesfor the men with kids from an ex wife!!!!!

I agree that she is either jealous of your relationship with your new wife, or she was hoping that she would be the one to move on and be happy first. Either way, she needs to get over it and move on...

I'm an ex-wife - my ex-husband has a fiancee that frankly, I like more than I like him. She treats my daughter like she's her daughter, and my daughter loves her. I would pick that over someone who resented my daughter any day of the week. I feel lucky that she treats her so well.


well it is kind of funny ....she is 10 years younger than me and left me for a guy that is 3 years younger than her and once she left me ...he left her!!!!! of coarse she wanted to come back but once trust is gone in a relationship u know it is over!!! Pam thinks she still wants me so that is why she is doing this

Sorry for all your troubles on this.

Sounds like your EX is still trying to come to terms with the divorce. All I can say is to keep the kids informed on what is happening and make sure they know both sides on all this.

As for why your EX is not interested in your older boy... sounds like she has decided he is too old to bainwash so she works on the younger daughter...

Give your EX some time. Sooner or later she will see the sillyness of her actions.

-Phil

PS: the one sure way to pi$$ of the EX, is to marry someone YOUNGER than she is.... :devil:



yes you are correct!!!! she was 10 years younger and pam is 15 years younger ...lol..... :rofl:
charlie&pamMalePhilippines2010-03-31 08:01:00
Philippinesfor the men with kids from an ex wife!!!!!

Cool...

I found a place to talk about my ex an the issues she may or may not cause me in my future. I have one son with her a 6 year old boy named Alex. I live in MN and after our divorce my ex married a guy in Arkansas and we battled in court over custody a couple of times. What I am sure a lot of you know is that a single guy who is just trying to keep his head above water has a hard time winning things against a "family". So I gave in and allowed him to move down there with her (big mistake). My fiancee has never met Alex in person but they have a great time on the web cam when he is here with me. He even insisted on sending her a card when I went to meet her in January. My Fiancee absolutely adores kids and wants nothing more than to bring Alex back to MN where he belongs. He honestly lives in the middle of nowhere on a bunch of acres that act as a graveyard for automobiles. In real life he is great with reading writing and arthimatic, but at school the class is learning their abc's and 123's.

Floriann has a great paying career that she will be able to continue once she arrives so I hope the ex is ready to do battle again. It started out ok with us meeting halfway to exchange Alex on a regular basis but of course as time goes by she gets "busy" or has to work weekends, or she can't possible take alex out of school for a day so if i want to see him I can always come down to Arkansas. And it's like pulling teeth to get her to answer the phone much less get alex to call me back. Alex has already stated he wants to live with me, not that that is binding but it does warm my heart along with Floriann saying that our family will never be complete until Alex is with us.


I hope all you other guys are as happy as I am, God sent me an angel and I try my hardest to forget the past and live for the future. Alex will always keep my past linked to me but I look at him as a huge part of my future, and I trust that everything is happening for a reason.



sounds like you have a plan!!!....but take it from me it will not be an easy or simple process .....especially for the kids !!!!.....I try to keep them out of it but the 6 year old is figuring things out on his own now so they will ask questions at that age

Philippinesfor the men with kids from an ex wife!!!!!

Charlie, I am up to my ears in ex-wife issues. My kids are 8, 7, and 2 and now live 2500 miles away. Ours is a very long story, but we have numerous issues and she has made absolutely unbelievable accusations. Obviously for the best interests of the children it would be best for you to have a friendly, cooperative and rational relationship with your ex. Sometimes however, that is simply not possible as is the case for me. So, for what it is worth I add the following recommendations:

1. Keep everything away from the children regarding your conflict with your ex. That will be difficult, but you must be the better person in that regard and the kids will reward you for that some day. I always complement their mother when I talk to the kids if only for the small things she does well for them.
2. Do not see or talk to your ex in private if you can help it. Tape all phone and personal conversations and try to exchange the kids in public or with a chaperone. She can make accusations that will damage your reputation and jeopardize your visitation and custody if given the opportunity - even if you are completely innocent. The accusations alone will create a stigma and it will stick with you.
3. Be prepared to defend your rights as a father in court. Make you case and document it as strongly as possible. Use a divorce mediator if at all possible.
4. Keep your ex away from Pam and try to protect your relationship from the baggage. Remember that this is her first marriage and she wants it to be fresh and healthy and naive. That is also tricky and I know how difficult that can be, but do your best.
5. Time heals all wounds and your ex may get over the divorce and improve her attitude. BUT don't assume that will happen. Give her some time, but be prepared to fight if needed. Make sure you get your time with the kids and settle it in court if needed. They need a strong father more than ever.

Good Luck.

Mark



thanks Mark you make some great points.....I try to do them all the only thing that sucks is my son who is 6 asks me why his mommy lies all the time ...I tell him that she was not lying just was wrong or made a mistake ....... I always never argue or say bad things about her infront of the kids!!!! Now when the kids arnt around that is a different story !!! I sound like I am a sailor from Boston with every other word being a curse word!!!...lmao

Hi guys.....so I know I am not alone on this topic...but lets share stories and how do deal with the DREADED EX-WIFE syndrome!!!! Since Pam has gotten here it has been harder and harded to deal with her (I assume it is all because of jealousy) .......She says lies to the kids, did the whole mail order bride thing to my friends and family, and also has just been un-real to deal with since she found out that we are getting married!!!!......plus I know it must kill her that the kids love Pam and give her a hug and kiss when she comes to see the kids and take them out!!!!!....but the past week has been getting more stressfull!!!!!.......her mom who loves me to death watches my 3 year old daughter durring the day and when I picked her up Friday she asked me if her and her hubby could come to the wedding....I responded that I will talk to Pam and also she should talk to my ex because I dont want to get inbetween the mother/daughter relationship and have them argue!!!!....well I guess over the weekend they did argue when she brought it up and now the ex is being a real b*tc&!!!! as of last night she called and asked if my daughter could spend more time with her grandmom (didn't ask kind of demanded it)....just trying to get other opinions on this ....also I have a son who is 6 but the family doesn't want to see him more?
