The fact that they are basically stealing your cats, which I assume you had before the breakup, is not right or fair. Also charging you half the water bill was criminal, because he wasn’t doing what he said he was doing and charging you for water you didn’t use. This whole issue makes me very discontented with the way they are treating you and your pets. They are using your pets as leverage against you and again it is infuriating even to me.


I also have a question:
Did you buy the fish tanks or the fish? because that would make them your “property” and therefore yours which means that you could go your local authorities and demand that your “stolen property” be returned and maybe even some of your water bill.

Omg my ex's new girlfriend is really driving me up the wall. Not because she's with my ex, but because she's started playing dictator with all our pets.

All of my fish minus my GT and pleco are all crammed into the 5' tank (this includes my goldfish!), all of the dollars have died because her kids wouldn't stop smashing the glass and one by one they hit the glass too hard and died.

Her stupid mutt dogs are now in his back yard and my cats are too scared to use their pen because the dumb dogs bark at them non stop while they're in there.

Oh, and did I mention that my fish get one 90% WC a month now instead of the weekly ones they were getting? Because one of her kids has cerebral palsy so they don't have time for proper tank maintenance - fair enough.. But do you think they'll let me go around weekly to do water changes? Of course not. They'd rather my babies swim around in their own urine and fecal matter than have me in their home for half an hour a week.
I'm not allowed to see my cats or my fish because she's worried he'll want me back if I'm there for too long (not that I'd ever have him back but there's no convincing her of that) but the idiot still wants me to foot half of their food/water and vet bills - I happily give half of the vet and food bills and was happily giving half of the water bill until he told me that he only does WC's once a month - but ain't no way I'm going halves in the water bill when they change 800ltrs of tank water a month but use that every second day while bathing her kids - I am not paying for her kids baths!

When he told me that he had a new woman I was like "hell yeah, now I can get on with my life and not have a jealous ex!" but now I realize that I'd take a jealous ex over what's happening with my babies any day. Its got me so upset that I haven't been sleeping properly, I'm tired but every time I almost go to sleep I start thinking about my babies and how terrible their lives must be right now and I wake right back up. :(
I guess I haven’t been in this thread for a while, I missed all this.
I’m so sorry and this is so upsetting to hear!
It pisses me off to no end when ex’s use property(in this case pets) to control and hold on. I’ve had to let things go and just cut my losses:/

I don’t really have any good advice to offer. This is so upsetting and my heart goes out to you.

Remember the big dome on St. Paul's? The one in Mary Poppins (Or Mortal Engines, or a hundred other British films?)

The architect wanted it to be really tall, so folks could see it, and it's lantern shining, from all over London.
But he also wanted folks on the floor to see the painted ceiling.

He realized that it would be both far too high, and the wrong shape, for viewing the paintings, so he built 3 domes, one on top of the other.

The lower and flatter painted ceiling dome, the more cone-shaped structural brick dome to hold up the lantern/steeple, and a taller, lighter rounded facade dome of copper metal over a trusswork of slender braces. That tall metal is shell is the only dome of the three, visible in Londontown.

This is a totally different construction than previous large domes, where the stone is visible externally, or covered directly with tiles.
