I'm guessing you aren't undermining your son's father. Its not about me having a life of my own. Its about seeing how hurt my DH is because his kids thinks he unsupportive and have been told they don't have to have anything to do with him. I'd rather the money be called child support than alimony. She doesn't need alimony.
To give you an idea, you probably haven't screamed at your son's father over a $25 medical bill in the driveway in front of the children and neighbors that you shoved in the sons bag but didn't tell anyone about. Yeah, she get over $40k a year, but will scream at the top of her lungs over a $25 co-pay that she forgot to tell her son to give to his dad. I'm really not sure who was more embarrassed about it. I'm pretty sure his son was mortified over it.
Or what about telling the kids that their dad has a new family so they don't need to see him.  Hmmm... we never excluded them. We tried to involve them.  But she tells them they don't have to do anything with us. We've offered for them to stay the entire summer with us. We plan trips but at the last minute she changes what times we can pick up or when we have to drop off. Or we plan for the older one to drive (hes 20) but then she'll tell him he can't drive that far. Although he can and does drive that far for other things. Like driving to the concert 5 miles from us was ok, but he couldn't actually drive to our house. Yes, the odler son could ignore her order but then he'd be on her shit list. And it gives him an out for visiting.
DH is a great dad and always tries to plan out fun things with his kids. But its usually undermined by her.
