Our son's ex-wife stole a book of his blank checks and we just learned that she has forged his signature to a total of $852 (so far) in checks....money that he doesn't have. He found out when his phone bill payment bounced.<P>Yesterday, when he thought she had only written a couple of hundred, he told her to reimburse him and return the rest of the blank checks. She swore that she only wrote 2 checks. Today, he found that she had written darned near a whole book full.<P>He is having the bank return all the forged checks and is signing an affidavit against her. He is also going after full physical custody of their kids (has joint now), since his ex is now due to be arrested for check forgery.<P>Please pray for him, as he undertakes the full-time parenting of his children. He hates like he!! to have to do this to his children's mother, but it looks like she's on the path to jail anyway. Also, she is living with a 22-yr-old, although not yet divorced from her 2nd H (ONE of the OM in her marriage to our son). <P>From remarks made by one of our grandsons, the 22-yr-old is into stealing hubcaps, we'be been majorly concerned about the effect of her life on the kids. We have already had a couple of instances with the kids taking money.<P>Also, our ex-DiL leads a very promiscuous lifestyle, and we've been worried that our 4-yr-old granddaughter will grow up to think screwing anything in pants is an OK thing to do. <P>Anyway, our son has decided that enough is enough. It is time for his ex to face the consequences of her actions. We have agreed to help him in terms of childcare, etc.<P>Please pray for our grandchildren...that they will know they are loved and grow up to be good, responsible people.<P>Also, please pray for our ex-DiL. She lost her parents at a young age and the people she lived with were not as good to her as they could have been. She basically grew up with no direction. Please pray that she will see the error of her ways and seek help. Even with all she has done, I still love her and it tears me apart to see her doing the things she does.<P>Thanks in advance.

Hi sweetpea, what a sad situation.<BR>I'm so glad, however,that you find in your heart to ask for prayers for you X-DIL as well, it seems like she needs them.<P>Count my prayers in.<BR>Hugs<BR>Kat<P>------------------<BR>Each and everyone of us is deserving of a kind word, a gentle thought, and the gift of understanding.

Sweetpea: My thoughts and prayers are with you, your son, grandchildren and daughter in law.

You have my prayers...<P>My W too is in a similar situation...<BR>My stepson (I've always called him my son since I've helped raise him since he was 3.5yo)... has been receiving Social Security benefits since his Biological Father went on permanent disability to the tune of $25,000-$30,000+ over the last 6 years. My W was to hold onto that until he needed it for his education... and when my W moved out in August of last year she closed out the account with only $2,300. The rest... most likely dosen't exist (where it is... if it exists) and is unknown. The SSA has to be notified... and there might be some jail time here too... <P>I'm praying... for you, your son and grandkids (and his x too) <P>Jim<p>[This message has been edited by NSR (edited March 31, 2000).]

My heart and prayers go out to you and your whole family. It goes to show we all think we have it bad, but there is always another twist to the infidelities that just break your heart.<P>Prayers to you all, Dana<BR>

What a sad, sad situation. Of course they are all in my prayers.<P><P>------------------<BR>Blessed be.<BR>****************<BR>Keridwen<P>Keridwen_7@yahoo.com

I'm glad he is willing to prosecute. It may be the only intervention she receives.<P>Lord, please give wisdom and strength to Sweatpea's son. IJN<BR>Amen

Thank you all so much for your prayers and your support.<P>Our son signed the affidavit this afternoon, and the bank is returning his money to his account.<P>Now, his ex has disappeared with the kids. He made the mistake of telling her half-sister that he wasn't going to bail her out of this mess this time and that he was going to get custody of the kids.<P>We figure she is either at her boyfriend's parents' home in a nearby town (we don't know where they live or even their last names), or in Alabama with her half-brother...who, by the way, is an ex-con, but who will do anything for her. As soon as the affidavit goes to the sheriff, we'll also start the process of getting her car back, since it's in my H's name. <P>So, now, the priority is on finding the kids, since it appears that she's on the run.<BR>Please pray that they are safe and that we find them soon.
