There's no reason to attack people for misinterpreting an arguably ambiguous post. If you read the post literally, OP writes -after the explanation of the envelope- that "there's a reason [she] left him". Although I am sure that OP has more sense than that, it is easy to misinterpret her post. It all comes down to context and understanding of the post.

Just because they're divorced doesn't mean that they can't rely on each other. Not all divorces are cut and split. You don't know their story, don't assume you do.

But if the two of you are mature adults you should both be able to occasionally converse without being rude and doing childish crap like this. The sad reality is divorce proves how many truly immature adults there really are. Not being friends is understandable, but simply acting civil is completely realistic if the two parties can act like adults.

Thank you. Well said.

42- I know plenty of people who are divorced and get along just fine. My brother and his x-wife have 4 kids and are both remarried and super good friends... They just don't like being married to each other.

@47 I see no reason at all why we should need to converse about any topic except for the children, yet she continues to try, despite my repeated requests that she not bother me for anything that is unrelated to the children. Yes I remain civil when I absolutely have to talk to her, but unless it is absolutely imperative that I talk to her, I don't. Fortunately for me, she moved 1,500 miles away.

But wouldn't that mean your kids also moved 1500 miles away with her? Unless you happen to have full custody...

@85 As it turns out, the adage that it is always mother's day in family court isn't true.
