Well, haven't been here much, too many things going on with life in general, so too tired for the most part.
After total frustration about my kids, lack of Dippy paying child support (he still isn't wage assigned, told DCSS it is his company), I finally got some good news.
For those of you fighting to protect your children from abusive exes, check out
http://www.protect.org/ . I was told to look at the CA site, and am looking into getting a branch started in my county. This has been going on for years; it is time to actually take a stand and protect the kids, not keep lining the attorney's pockets.
Also heard from both the local Victim Advocate and the State Victim of Crime representative about my daughter in residential therapy. They are looking to help with expenses and bring ex some accountability for paying his half. Both of my daughter's therapists are ready and willing to do what they need to do for her.
After 3 plus years, the slow, moss-covered stones of the justice system may finally start rolling. Lots of stuff in the air, just not too sure it is safe to talk about it here as never know if Dippy or cohorts read here or not.
What goes around comes around, though. His professional reputation is getting worse, fewer and fewer people want anything to do with him. He is self destructing. Even the co-owner of his house is getting married and moving out.
The girls and I are doing OK... it is hard, am in debt up to my eyeballs, but I can see that the future will take care of itself and we will be all right. Took time and a complete jerk to put us in this situation, now it will take time and hard work and we'll correct it.
