I had about a quarter of one of my Business classes like that, former trophy-wives more concerned about soaking their exes with tuition bills than actual performance in class. It was hell when four of 'em got stuck into my team of 8 for the group-project assignment…
I really appreciate the bold part. There’s been a solid group of prayer warriors on my side since day one and every one of them is a blessing.
Short update: Kids’ therapist has agreed to a reunion but I don’t know when and if it’ll be continual. Attorney and I were supposed to meet with the judge and opposing counsel yesterday for a review but opposing counsel never showed. Review has been rescheduled for next Tuesday. Thanks to everyone who’s had a word of encouragement or story to share. I know that I’m not the only one in this kind of situation.
That almost implies that Opposing Counsel knows they’re open to a raking broadside and thought by not showing up they denied you the opportunity to lay into 'em.
I couldn’t even pretend to like people like that much less form any kind of actual social relationship with them. Will sound crazy but I definitely couldn’t sleep with them, I don’t care what they looked like. I learned early on that I don’t want any soulless, vicious piece of shit females anywhere near me or my life. It’s like guys who brag about ripping off some old timer in a FU gun deal, just because they like guns doesn’t mean we have anything in common.
It ended up that the three other kids and I did all the work and the Old Hens bitched about us “cutting them out” when they turned the one hour we had available with all our conflicting schedules for strategy and planning into a Hen Party jawjacking about their divorces, alimony, their next moves to screw over the exes… the prof saw things our way though, and even awarded me extra credit and a shout-out in front of the class for stepping into the Team Lead role in a time of crisis to have the “deliverable” ready on deadline.
