About a year ago I finalized a divorce with my ex-wife. It didn’t end the greatest but we’ve been on good terms since then and have been focused on being great co-parents for our son.
A month ago she messaged me asking if we could get him a passport. He’s five and they don’t have any trips planned abroad but she figured we could get some ID for him.
This set off alarm bells for me and a wild thought crossed my mind that she might be planning to leave the country with him. It was an irrational thought and I dismissed it almost immediately but you can’t always help where your mind wanders. I know these kinds of things happen, but this is not something my ex would do, it really was just a random irrational thought.
So we get him the passport this week and he’s telling a relative about his passport which raises an eyebrow and some questions. Later, I text the relative that I had some reservations too and that I recognized that it was a ridiculous idea but I still thought it.
Except, I accidentally texted the ex-wife instead about how I suspected she might try to leave with him. I tried to unsend, but she saw it and has been very quiet while I apologize and try to explain that I had an irrational thought and I don’t actually believe she’s going to try and leave with him. We’ve been working really hard to make sure we’re healing the relationship and this isn’t going to help at all.
TL;DR Accidentally messaged my ex-wife my suspicions that she requested a passport for my son without any trips planned.
