called x at work, needed half of 13 yr old son school fees that is due in a few days, with uniforms thats around $1,000. X is suppose to pay half school cost.living off spousal support & child support total around $800. x makes $42,000. sold our home money was used to buy another home in Fl. oldest son is moving in paying half thats a big help. we had plan to move in a few months but now are looking at a couple of weeks. cant afford the starting fees for two christian schools. x told son that he paid me $1000 for school. showed son the check for $72 that came in today. x still has lots of anger, he left us for another mans wife. when I talk to him you can feel it, I should be the one filled with hate. instead I feel sorry for him, trying to keep up with a younger woman who cheated on her h. money x told her is gone to attorneys. I see a tired man when he comes to pick up our son, he has aged, he doesnt look very happy. how can they ever trust each other. ask x one more time about buying ow a car while m to me, have PI report with both names on title. x knows about the investigation, says it has errors & is not true. called GMAC punch in x & ow SS both come up with the same account, same car. x is now saying that we were D months before the judge signed d-papers, thats a new one. x told me to get a job, had carpal tunnel surgry 7-31-02 one more to go, Aug 30 will remove lump in breast. friends have told me that they would have giving up long ago. I owe God for the strength & the navy who taught me not to give up in rough times. my two sons and granddaughter are worth it. x can have his whore, I have the love and respect of my children who know mom will be there when they need me.

Wow! That's some story. Sounds like you are a strong person. People have been telling me the same thing-give up, isn't it time to get on with your life etc. But it's my life and I have to do what is right for myself. My H. is involved with someone with 4 children, 17yrs, 13yrs, 9 and 7yrs. She is not that much younger than him tho. She has been married almost 19yrs. He is not doing well physically either-very stressed out and I know he's not happy-he started smoking again 3 mos. ago and lost a lot of weight. It's hard to watch them hurt everyone, including themselves but it is their choice. Hope everything goes ok on the 30th, and that your friends are supportive. My kids and friends have been great.
