My Ex Continues to Be Difficult 

In case it wasn't clear that my ex is a total jackass, now he is refusing to supply his last 3 paystubs so that I can apply for a scholarship for our daughter to go on the trip to London. He said I could send him the complete application and then he will send it in, which makes no sense since 1) I am her legal and physical guardian and 2) I am the one that will have to pay the balance. So, methinks he has something to hide, like how much money he is making and how much he really should be paying me in child support. Either that, or he just will not cooperate to make this possible for her because he is still pouting that she is angry with him. Why else would he refuse?

Some days, I just feel so bad for her that she got stuck with this idiot for a father. I can't imagine being that selfish and vindictive toward your own child. He still has not tried to address the issues that she brought up. In fact, he has not contacted her at all in several weeks now.

I still don't even hate him, I just pity him. Pity him for what is lacking in him; a heart, a soul and a conscience. How could I have been with someone that is so completely devoid of those things?

I sent him videos of her in the 4th of July parade. Maybe that will spark some decent impulse in him, but I won't be holding my breath on that one.

I'm going to hold my ground at this point. There is no reason for him not to send me the paystubs. If I have to go through the state to get them, I will.
