Quiz: Are you a Dragon?


Take a minute to complete the following quiz to find out whether you may be a Dragon in disguise?!?!?

1. If my daughter came home in a skirt that your ex dressed her in that you do no approve of, you would:
  1. Think it is ugly but say nothing, maybe only some complaints to your best friend or partner
  2. Call up your ex and say how ugly you think the skirt is
  3. Immediately take the skirt off your daughter, put it on yourself and dance around the kitchen mocking it in front of your daughter, than send it off to the Goodwill as you don't see it as appropriate

2. Your daughter is away for the weekend at your ex's. You decide to call his house to talk to your daughter. He does not answer the phone so you leave a message, unbeknownst to you that he and the kids are at friends for dinner. After this you would:
  1. Not be too concerned about getting a phone call back as she is only gone for the weekend and you will see her tomorrow night
  2. Wait anxiously for the phone call. You stew for an hour and decide to call back again. When there is no answer again, you stew for the rest of the night.
  3. Wait anxiously for the phone call. You stew for an hour and decide to call back again. When there is no answer again, you call back another 10 times in the next half hour. You than text your ex several times telling him how pissed off you are that he has not returned your phone call. You than justify the 12 phone calls in 1.5 hours saying that you were entitled to talk to your daughter as you promised you would call.

3. You ended the marriage as you left for another woman. Several months later your ex-husband starts dating. You find out who it is. You would:
  1. Not care too much as you left him. You would be happy for him and hope that it works out for the best.
  2. You are a bit jealous and resentful that he has moved on. You talk with people in town about this girl, seeing what dirt you can dig up on her. With this "dirt" you make some digs to your ex about this girl
  3. You are super jealous and resentful as you feel no one can replace you - you may not want him, but you don't want anyone else to have him either. You dig threw his phone to find out who he is talking to and immediately start sending obscene harassing text messages to her. You even send a Facebook message to her ex-husband and post messages on your Facebook wall about this girl, even using her first and last name. You call her obscene names in public domains. In essence, you demean her for months and continuously intimidate and harass her. 

4. You ex-husband mentions that he and his new family have booked a cottage and would like his daughter to join them. It is almost 5 months in advance of the booking. You generally only know your schedule 3 weeks in advance and given that you job share, this makes it easy for you to adjust your work schedule.   
  1. You think it sounds like great fun and that your daughter will enjoy spending time with her Dad and step siblings. You agree.

When he asks again you ignore his communication. Weeks go on and you still ignore him. You finally drop off a note about 2.5 months before in his mail box saying that you do not agree with the week as you have 3 days off that week and it is your time with your daughter. You force him to have to go to court to request the week. You only agree to the week when you are strong-armed by the legal system to do so. Lots of money spent unnecessarily.

You make sure you send a few bitchy texts to your ex about it all.

16. You go to court. The judge clearly states in his endorsement that he assigns more blame to you with respect to bringing the child into the conflict. 
  
1. Well you would never bring a child into the middle of adult conflict. So this would never happen. 
2. You clearly deny any ownership over this. The judge has no idea what he is talking about. 
3. You clearly deny any ownership over this. The judge has no idea what he is talking about. Additionally you ignore the justice's order to refrain from pulling the child into the conflict and continue to use her time with her father as a punishment when you are angry and speak poorly in front of the child about her father and his family. 


17.  You go to court. The judge clearly states in his endorsement that you are to use the father as primary babysitter. 
1. Well duh, of course you would. He is the father and deserves to spend all the quality time he can with his daughter. So again this would never happen. 
2. Yes, I am at fault. I have not used the father in the past because I could, because I love control. But I will consider the judge's endorsement in this regard in the future - maybe. 
3. I am not going to do anything the judge says. I live above the law. Yes I have not used the father as caregiver when I could, because I like the control and I fear him having too much time with my daughter and getting too close with her. There will be countless opportunities over the next several months where I could call upon the father to care give when I am endlessly unavailable pursuing my own selfish needs. But I won't and I will use every excuse possible to not use him.
