I forgot to mention..

On the same day as the all the chaos on the last post, Zach's mother called me.


We apparently cannot see eye to eye on anything and I suppose she thinks my only goal in life is to keep Zach from talking or seeing her ever again.


Zach's mom lives in Florida, and I've only met her and spent time with her once. When Zach's parents divorced, she moved to Florida to be close to her family while Zach remained in California with his Dad, who had won custody. Zach spent his teen years without her physical presence & has cruised into adulthood the same way. Shes absent.


We flew out to visit at the end of February and it didn't go how we thought it would. If I said black, she said white. Her main focus was Zach, and she catered to him as if he were a small child. I understand the circumstances, and it had been 3 years since she had seen him last. But honestly, what do you expect when you move 3000 miles away from your kid?


She instigated a fight with me two days before we left and accused me of a thousand things, including trying to keep Zach away from her. Zach defused the situation and we left Florida on what I thought were okay terms.


Guess not.


I was at work when she called me and since we went and visited, I've replaced my cell phone and I lost a couple numbers. It was a strange area code and I figured it was a sales call or whatever so I answered it. The first thing she said was "Where are you keeping my son?"


Did I mention it was really tempting to tell her I dug a huge pit in my backyard and tossed his ass in it? It was.


I told her I didn't know at the moment where he was, but if she called him I'm sure he'd answer. She said she had been trying to call him for 3 months and hadn't been able to reach him. She wanted to know what I'd been doing to him, why I had gone to Sprint and diverted her calls to a different voicemail, hiding his phone from him and so on.


I was stunned she was doing this all over again. She threatened to investigate me, and send the police to our house and yada yada yada. I told her I am not Zach's keeper and he's completely capable of answering her phone calls. I don't run his life and in the past three years of our relationship, have never tried to. He's just my boyfriend. The end.


After she finally let me hang up, I called him. He told me he had been ignoring her calls since we left Florida. That was news to me. He explained to me he had too much to do and didn't have time to listen to her talk. I was really angry, but at the same time I laughed. I told him just to call her and make sure she never calls and comes at me like that again.


Anyone want to take a guess if he's called her yet?


Nope. And he doesn't want to.


I have a feeling the cops will be arresting me soon for abducting a willing 21 year old man =)
