I should have known

I should have known some things that I never knew before last week.
I should have known that he would call CPS on his own kids. Where does he think they would go? He has no place to live! He is just squating at friends' houses week to week. It's alright though, CPS came and saw and left. I am doing everything right so I have no worries.
I should have known that he would steal my scrap booking monthly payment. He isn't paying me any child support and then he goes and steals the only income that I have for myself right now. The only income that supports HIS OWN KIDS!! He is a piece of work he is.
I should have known that he would take the money back from me that I spent on buying him thoughtful xmas presents before he left. Do you think he would let his own kids have that money? No, and I should have known that. Stupid me for thinking that he could ever love his kids. He can't love anyone but himself.
I should have known that he would contact everyone that we both had as friends' and lie to them about me. It's funny because everything he says to them about me is exactly what HE is doing, NOT me! :)
I should have known that he would call the cops on me and try to get me arrested. If I am in jail where do his kids go? Who knows, he only thinks about himself, another thing I should have known. So, the cops came, saw and left, lol. Because I am doing everything right. :)
I should have known that he would be a self-centered vengeful *rick who can't see clearly through his "pill" goggles. I played that game before, but I got help and I am better. He needs to do the same thing, but I KNOW that he won't. See, now I know some things that I should have known before.
So, all of these things are ok I guess, because I am doing nothing wrong, everything right, I am being strong for my girls and we are happy and healthy.
I should have known that I was in a downward spiral with him but I didn't. The important thing is that I know now and I can teach my girls how to be strong and stand on their own. :) So, my head is held up high, I am smiling, and I am starting over. I will earn that money back and I will spend it on my kids because that's what a good parent does. Thanks for reading! :D
