Hey again everyone,
I didn't think I would be posting again so quickly, but I just needed to get this out. UUUUUG!
I have posted here a few times over the past few years in regards to Eric's ex wife and everything she has put us through over the past 12 years and is still putting us through. It's gotten worse since she decided to try to take our house away. I have posted some of this in the woman's forum, and I have discussed it via PM with our friendly KA attorney Steve, but today I said to heck with it. I am just letting it all hang out and posting here in the main forum.
We have spent so many years trying to prove we don't owe her any money, but the court won't listen to us even though we have receipts (not all, but most) and statements showing that as of 1995 we had a 0 balance.
Here we've been thinking since that we've been making our regular child support payments faithfully, but they are saying all those payments were going towards back arears, and of course we're going to end up owing alot since we were being charge $400. a month interest. Isn't that the craziest thing ever?! Especially since didn't owe anything in the first place?
We've been trying to get someone to listen, but we aren't getting anywhere and now they are making us sell our house.
Eric went back to court today and because he couldn't prove that the house was put up for sale yet, he now has to spend until Thanksgiving in jail.
UUUG! What sense does that make even if we did owe the money, which we DON'T!
I have always been proud of myself not having any gray hair yet, but I think that's going to change soon. I always felt it wasn't how bad a problem was that caused gray hair, but how you dealt with the problem, but I don't think I am going to be able to keep dealing with all this in a calm manner anymore, unless of course I take some valium, but I don't want to be a zombie either, or do I? LOL JK
I know there are alot of dead beat dads out there, but alot of them don't even deserve this kind of treatment. Then you have someone like Eric who is a huge part of his kids life and is doing everything by the book, but has a greedy, sneaky ex who has cheated the welfare system so she could get double the money and marries into money, driving around in a lexus SUV, lives in a $500,000 house and then goes into the courts and cries she has nothing, when the kids don't even live with her anymore and the courts still sticks it to the ex-husband as bad as they can then something is definitely wrong with the system and I think I know what it's called, but I shouldn't say it here. Although right now I am sick and tired of it all that I shouldn't care!!!!
Here's all the faces I have made since 3:00 this afternoon...
and not all in that order.
I called the attorney at the disability law unit to let her know what happened today and although she can't help me, she did give me a few ideas, like not signing any papers and writing a letter to the judge explaining why. Only thing is...the longer I go without signing, the worse it ends up for Eric and I don't want to see him in jail for a long time either. It's bad enough that this time in jail from now until Thanksgiving is really going to hurt us paying bills this month and xmas is going to be tougher. Guess it's time to start searching the house for things to sell huh?
I think I am sad more then mad even though I know I should be boiling at this point, but I think I've gone past that stage. Now I am just sad, because I know I can't live without my dogs and finding another home that allows dogs is really hard, unless of course we can buy again in time, but I doubt we'll have enough left over.
My dogs are my life! Besides my husband and kids of course, but they are old enough to fend for themsleves. Whereas, the dogs are older and with Bogart being sick...he needs me! I need him!
Ok, on a different note...I got new pictures of my grandsons on Colorado. YAAAAAA!
These are Brian's two sons. Carter will be two in June and Aiden just turned one the first of this month.
These pictures couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Surely made me smile! I couldn't wait to share them with you.
Ok, I am feeling really tired and think I may shut down the PC and write a little letter to Brian.
I can't tell him what is happening with Eric though. There is no reason for him to know. He has enough to contend with there. As long as he comes home safely anybody can have whatever they want!
Thanks for letting me vent and share everyone.
I hope everyone is doing ok.
Luv ya guys!
Hugs,
Lisa
