Damn...this thread sure took a turn south.
It'll turn back. All familys have little spats now and again.
I do have an attorney. And Texas requires 25% for two children. . same as NC... only thing.. He's now threatened to not sign if I can't figure out how he can get -in writing- a specific $$ amount that *he* wants to pay instead of the 25% that's mandated. . Had the nerve to tell me the *only* reason I was asking for 25% was because that's what the state said to. .Not because I actually needed it. .
Sorry mother fucker... Does he really think I*want* to be living with my sister? If I didn't need the help I sure as shit wouldn't ask him for anything but his signature. Legally I could go after half of everything he has.. But I m not.. The only thing I've asked for is child support. No more. No less.. And it's too much according to him. I'd just as soon rot in hell as to ask him for anything.. so for him to threaten me now? After all I've put up with? After all I kept out of the courts? Threaten me now that there will be no divorce because of the CHILD SUPPORT?????
I just don't understand it. And it makes my blood boil. It brings me to a place that few have ever seen and I try hard to suppress. Hence the stress...
I'll apologize.... maybe ..lol When I need to get it out..I just need to get it out..Ergo, the vent. I know my friends here will understand, and respond if they want to.Damn...this thread sure took a turn south.

This is your first post in the thread and you are critical?

You don't need to apologize one iota, dear RA. This is our "home" and we should feel safe in venting when life gets heavy. I continue to keep you in my prayers. My divorce was in Texas and my ex threw a fit over child support too. I relented to a lower amount against my attorney's advice because 1) I wanted to leave the state with our child and 2) I am a peace keeper. A few years later, I regret the choice. It's been hard financially but I am stronger for it. Stay the course and listen to your lawyer (gosh--I can't believe I'm saying that--LOL). You aren't asking for the moon. He is being selfish and childish in his behavior.
HUGS!!
"Thank you INL!"
"We need to form a club...or maybe a support group??? 'Those with Texas exes'???
Have a great Sunday everyone. I hope everyone is doing well.
"Doing GREAT here sweetie. SO and I figure we've seen each other more during the past two months than we did during the entire previous year...and we're not bored (or fed up) with each other yet either.... And my (new) Boss has told me to let her know in time when he is scheduled to be home and she'll schedule my off day(s) for then. Have I mentioned recently how much I LOVE my new job - and that my Boss has recommended me for Assistant Manager training???"
Sarcasm is not a natural language for me. But sheesh! It's one thing to lurk in the thread. (although I'd hope folks would interact or add to the thread instead). But really---to be negative with your only post in the thread? It struck a nerve.
Hugs to sweet Peaches!
LOL!!! I wonder how big the group would get? Do you ever miss the friendliness of the people in Texas? I sure do. But I don't miss the heat and geckos. Ick!
This is awesome news!! I'm so happy for you. It was a hard bit of time when you were apart. The new job sounds MUCH better than the old one. And a possible promotion on the horizon is great too. Yay!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed.
(((Hugs you back)))
(Giggles) "I don't know but it suddenly seems there might have been a LOT of us. I miss a LOT of things about Texas. We had a little farm up in the panhandle near Amarillo so I never got the geckos - I do NOT miss the tarantulas and the Horny Toads, although I do miss the farm (and all the lovely characters...er...critters who inhabited it with us). The heat wasn't so bad up there either and there was that constant wind from the North to take the edge off things. I remember a few months after we'd moved there a driver stopped at the Truck Stop I was working at - he asked if the wind 'ever stops blowing'? I had to tell him I didn't know yet since I'd only lived there for 4 months..."
It's hard I know, but ultimately this is about and for the kids. Hang in there. If you like you can send me a PM for my phone # - that way you have some where to vent when needed..."
