Re: OOC-#23
me too..poor kid... his ex has been holding the papers hostage..contesting him for custody support.
he's winning for sure..but its costing him money he shouldn't have to spend... these are the kids who stayed with me, ebcause CYS wouldn't let her be alone with them...and? during the 'once every 2 weeks' visits..she spends more times with addicts /alkies cause her BF is one … really messed up..she gets free law stuff because students from Pennstate are her lawyers..who is supervised by a real lawyer...its really messed up.. the lawyers came down on them, and she had to sign the papers.
His wife to be is pretty good fit... kids like her a lot..i like her,my daughters like her...i'm thinking i'm goign to take a bit finance ,hit, because my son asked me yesterday about having to ask for some help, since the lawyer stuff spilled over into his savings.
::shrugs:: My dad..when I was layed off in the 80's helped us out with my house... I would pay him back as best I could when I got work... I did all kinds of stuff...but when I got into the post offcie, I paid him every 2 weeks... he 'cleared my debt' because I was always paying..something..no matter what... I asked him..' Hey?..I can't ever repay your for this!"
He just smield and said,"..someday..your kids will need help... you replay me, by helping them. "
and? we did.. kids staying here when going through divorce... money for weddings here...lawyers there...send some down to Son in FLA...
had a fav teacher in 8th grade..scicne teacher..really good guy..poor guy died of cancer about 30 years ago... he was talking, just to talk at the end of the day once, he told us.." all things even out,sometime".. I asked.".well? what about my parents?..how does them taking care of me now , even out?" he just winked and said,"..when yuou have kids... you'll need to task care of them."
funny? one of the lessons that stuck with me, wasn't even school work!
