These are the stockings that my Grinch Ex-husband stole from me and my daughter. Why? Because his even grinchier and vindictive mother made them, gifted them to us and then in true grinchy fashion, stole them back. Apparently, we didn't deserve to keep them, even tho they were a gift. To be truthful, had they asked for them back, we probably would have happily agreed, but he went through all the christmas bins...I'm sorry, that's not true....HE RANSACKED the bins, breaking items as he recklessly searched before I walked in on him and caught him. Did this in the dark of night. He did this with deception and unscrupulous motives. He was sneaky and vindictive. He broke ornaments, nutcracker decorations and other items. But then when caught (my bedroom is right above the garage where these bins were stored) he tries to tell me the bin he currently has down with the broken wreckage of his search were laid to bare, that the bin "fell". The bin that was tucked above the garage door and the ONLY bin out of 7 up there that magically moved. I didn't believe him. And he was mad that I didn't believe him.
These stockings were stolen without regard to our feelings on the matter. They weren't asked for. They weren't negotiated for...just taken. I'm sure my name has been ripped out of the header and DEBRA has been lovingly sewn in its place. But does Debra know that this is a regifted stocking? Does she know it was mine before she magically got it? Eh, who knows. It's just amusing to think about.
This made me wonder what else he has done in the name of "RECLAIMING" what he felt was his? He tried to take other things that were gifts. Like our daughter's luggage that, again, his mom gave her for Christmas. (Do you see the theme here?) When we were to divide up property, he took a painting that was given TO ME from his Aunt's estate. It was a painting I really liked. But he took that claiming it was HIS aunt's. Yeah, but it was gifted to me. That's ok. There are other things he left behind that ended up in my boxes when friends came to help me pack. I'm not in a rush to return them. After all, there were things he took that were mine (Fencing gear, dishes, my self esteem) and he didn't bother to return them.
Just shows what kind of person I was married to. A narcissistic, momma's boy with a penchant for vindictiveness. Did I mention he has been living with his mother for the past 15 months? I didn't? Oh, well, how about that.
