Uhhh .... I've had so many computer problems. I couldn't get back here until now. Let's see where was I????
I don't qualify for welfare. I have a good job and so does my husband. I'm just mad that the dead-beat doesn't fulfill his responsibility. If he did, I could stay home with my little guy.
We decided that since he doesn't pay his child support, doesn't have a license to drive, does drugs in his garage, etc., we're not letting him take the girls anymore. What can he do? Take me to court? Who cares!!!! I'll just say I didn't feel safe with the girls in a car with a drug addict with no license. You never know when he'll get pulled over and I didn't want them traumatised.
I'm playing hard ball now. And since obviously the system doesn't care about the ones who ARE making it without collecting welfare, then who really cares? I don't. The Child Support Services Department in California actually told me, "Well, why don't YOU file for contempt!" Give me a break. If I was on welfare, they would have done it three years ago and my ex would have already gone to jail!!!
Do you think that when men stand up for men who do this, that maybe they are projecting something from their own lives onto the situation? I am wondering this myself. It is so blatantly obvious that I am well aware of my responsibilities and have a good head on my shoulder. I wonder why someone would come on here and lecture me on the fact that I didn't create the girls on my own. Uh duh!
