The sucky thing is that yes they are tied to you forever but unless they are in actual life and death danger you can pretty much ignore them.

I've finally been able to block his calls and texts, had to update my lumia about 5 times for it to work. And I've blocked him from the home phone. That's the step I'd been putting off. I fully see a divorce in his future and his kids hating him. Before his wife got pregnant for the third time the marriage was in trouble and she was saying "he's not the man I married". Now everything is suddenly fine now she's pregnant again.

He sounds like he needs a punch in the face.

About you going to take his kids out and drive up there all the time, to stuff like that I would say ok, would YOU be doing this stuff for me and MY kids if it was the other way around? Doubt it. In fact, I would come up with an example like that for everything he whines about.

Yeah, this. There is no way in holy hell he would come over every week for 6 weeks to take my kid swimming. And he certainly wouldn't do 7 hour babysits. He's such a prick. He'd use his old chesnut "I have a family now" and do jack shit.

Then when he continues to whine I would just cut him off and not speak to him, as I said. And if you need to, tell him if he keeps leaving dumb messages you're gonna have to call the cops on him for harrassment.

Took me a while to block his messages, finally got it done.

You said it perfectly, you are sooo much better off without him.  If he calls, you should consider not talking.  Sounds like he will never change and consider this a start at better mental health for you. It's sad about the nephews but it's for the best to not look back.

Thanks man.

She's just wanting to see the family together no matter what mental anguish it causes.  Move on.

Sounds like my dad.  A man of few word who doesn't want to rock the boat.  

I have to agree with Vader and Travo. Cut him out of your life completely. You already blocked his number, go full radio silence. Delete him from your facebook and all other things. Delete every single trace of him. He no longer exist. If he comes at your house, beat the shit out of him and call the police.

Still plugging away at this, this weekend. Haven't been home much, so I've had a lot of time to make a good amount of progress:

Yeah now my mother is pestering me to reconcile with him in a meeting. It continues.

Couple of hours ago she was banned from his house. Now? Reconcile!

You tell her he is the one that has to reconcile not you. Anyway she is a mother she has to deal with him, you don't.
