A Strange Phone Call …

So, about a month or two, or even more (I am not so sure because I and didn’t really care to be honest, I got a strange phone call.
It went something like this:
Me – Hello
Them – Hello, is this John (Last name blanked out as to protect the innocent)
Me – Yes (Insert reaching for the hang up button)
Them – Where you by chance married to a Jennifer (Last name left out as to show no ties toward her in an attempt to forget that part of my life, and to keep her bill collecting agencies off my tail …)
Me – (Insert WTF thoughts) Yes, I was … (She must be dead, I can have my dog back!)
Them – Hi, do you have a minute or two so that I can talk to you, I am her soon to be X-mother-in-law?
Me – (Thoughts of I guess this means she isn’t dead, and I am not getting my old dog back) Sure, what’s up?

Long story short, this woman tells me that Jen is married, still playing Every Quest on an upwards of 8+ hours a day.
They have 2 children, loosing another during a pregnancy.
Is on all kinds of medications and still doesn’t have a job.
Causing her to gain even more weight, and calling for her to take more drugs for depression.
She has also cheated on her husband and left him taking the children.
The worst thing I found out though was, that there youngest child was allergic to Dogs and they gave away my dog to some stranger’s … yea, not so happy about this one.
Considering one of the agreements was that if anything ever came up I got her back!
I was also informed that I was abusive, and controlling.
Not letting her leave the house, or ever see her friends and family.
Saying that she finally ran away one day when I left for work … yeppers, wow I was a jerk, I would have left me too!

I get asked all kinds of strange questions like if I have heard form her or know where she is … and of course I say no because why in the world would she contact me, I’m the abusive & controlling X?

So then this strange woman asks if I will write up a letter saying how she acted and what brought our relationship to an end, as in regards to the amount of time she devoted to Ever Quest.

The phone call ends and I sit on this for a few hours and when La Wife comes home sees something is wrong and I tell her all about it.
I few hours latter I decided to call the X and tell her about this strange phone call I got …

She informed me that she was on the ‘lamb’ per say because it was in fact her husband who was cheating and threatening her.
I asked about the dog and was informed that she had forgotten … big surprise right?
I then asked about me being controlling, she said I was always trying to make her go to work and never letting her just play Ever Quest … yeppers that’s the same as never letting her leave the house right?
I asked when I was physically abusive to her … yea, she said one time I was very upset and grabbed her and threw her into a hallway door, but that she deserved it … when did I have a place with a hallway with a closet door in it?

I think you get the jest of this … yea this was a weird day in my little world for sure!

I sent them both an E-mail saying thanks for the memories but I would not get involved.
I have been out of the loop for about 7 years and I cannot speak for her as it has been so long … and to leave me alone!

So that’s about it, I wonder how many people she told these things to, and I think I now know why her parents hated me so much.
You people that knew her, and about those times, feel free to post your thoughts and if you think any of what she said was true … or even contradictions to it … you know like I took the keys to her truck and wouldn’t let her drive to work or anything … and how I kept everything of hers refusing to give it back.

For those of you who don’t know, I packed it all up and boxed it for her leaving it in the living room so she could just come in and take it all … she left all kinds of stuff that I latter mailed to her at the cost of a pretty penny or two.
The best part of all of this is … still not the strangest phone call I have received!
