My ex was never interested in traveling to the country where I was born. It was dirty and dangerous. And even though the local schools offered Spanish as a second language she wouldn’t enroll them.
We took the kids on fun vacations. Disney, the Grand Canyon, that sort of thing. Cruises and all inclusives.
We go divorced for a million reasons. After a while I met my current wife. She had a daughter and now we have a son. We decided to take the kids to meet my extended family this year. So we took a month off and went.
We went snorkeling, glamping in the jungle, motorcycled through the desert, and ate way too much.
We posted all about our trip with a lot of pictures and videos. My kids had a blast. My ex called me when we got back. Our kids were upset that I had taken my new family on this adventure but I never took them.
I pointed out that she never wanted to go and that she never let me or my parents teach the kids Spanish. I told her that I had done all this stuff alone before when I went home.
When the kids came over I showed them pictures from all the trips I took alone because their mom didn’t want to go and wouldn’t let me take them.
Now she is calling me an asshole for telling our kids the fact that she was the reason they never went.
