Hello all,<p>Sorry it has been so very long since I have written. There has been so much going on. IT has been just crazy.<p>Anyways..heres the basics of what has happened. You know H was in the hospital, right. Well he ended up being there about 2 1/2 weeks. While he was there bimbo girl was staying in his apartment. I got a phone call at work one night asking if I knew where H was. It was a male and I had no idea who he was.......it was bimbo's husband! This was like on a Thursday. Her husband had been staying with her with their FOUR kids in H'S apartment since Sunday!! Isnt that great! HA! I thought that was freakin hilarious. This female has made a fool out of him, like he couldnt do it well enough on his own. It didnt last long because the husband was asking all kinds of questions of me and I answered all that I knew. It was very sad since he had apparently only known about my H for a couple of weeks. He had come to bring bimbo the kids and to try to reconcile. I felt so horrible for him and those poor kids. So now my H is out of the hospital and has been for about 2 weeks now. He is living in a 1 bedroom apartment with the bimbo, her FOUR kids and most of the time bimbo's sister. It is justice, let me tell you. Here he has basically abandoned four kids in his life of his own and now he is stuck with four that are not. Ages 5,4,3,1. I believe the 4 and 1 yr old are girls and the other 2 are boys. He is totally dependent on this bimbo for everything so he can not go anywhere. He cant work yet so he is stuck. Poetic justice. God is good. The bimbo has created so much trouble herself, that I would say they are two peas in a pod. She wrecked the car that he has a few weeks ago and I found out about it because the hussy gave them my insurance info. Of course she wasnt smart enough to notice that the insurance was expired in 98, the wrong insurance co and the wrong vehicle listed on the card she gave. Anyways State Farm was trying to contact me and find out my insurance info so they could give it to the opposing side and let them file their claim against me. I talked to them and then to the co trying to collect and told them it wasnt me, yada yada and basically now H is getting a bill in the mail for over 1100 dollars. He has also had to go back in for another surgery because the first skin grafting they did didnt take. He is in a lot of pain and I cant say that I feel sorry for him. Too bad so sad......I guess thats what happens when you act like a moron.<p>As for me, my job ended on the 15th. I get my associates finally on May 10. My daughter has gotten a scholarship to a private Christian school for K-4 next year. A true blessing. We didnt apply for it or anything. Someone came up to me in church and told me that someone had donated her tuition to this school for next year. Finances are getting scary since H isnt working. The A/C in my car is broken and living in Houston it is a necessity, not a luxury. I have some friends who are going to try to fix it but the parts already cost 360. But I have confidence the Lord will provide.<p>I hope all is going well with all of you. I think of you often and pray for all of you in this gastly situation that no one deserves. I love you all dearly. May God bless you and your families.<p>Love<p>bw

Dear Broken Wings<p>Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. I can't beleive your husband would be crammed into a one bedroom apartment with this woman, her sister and four kids that aren't even his, except for the one, right? He must be living an absolute nightmare with his health issues and string of bad luck. What an absolutely miserable existence.<p>BW, but look at the blessings that have come your way with you finishing your degree and the anonymous angel that has provideed a scholarship for your daughter...I am so happy to hear of this...it was your turn for something wonderful to happen to you.<p>As for the other scary issues rgarding not having enough money to fix your AC and other necessities, why not temporarily get some assistance from the state until you are earning enough on your own...that is what it was originally created for...to help Widows and Orphans, and under the circumstances, you qualify.<p>I went on public assistance for eight months for a time after my divorce in 1969 just to get back on my feet again. Maybe you should consider it, then your H would have to pay the state but you would still get your money and he would have to reimburse them.<p>I'll keep you in my prayers, BW.<p>You sound good, BW.<p>Love<p>Catnip =^^=

The irony! Well, she wanted him, she got him. A literal shell of his former self. In this time of tribulation, their true selves will emerge, and it won't be pretty. Do you think he's kicking himself yet?<p>I agree with Catnip, Broken Wings. There's no shame in receiving assistance available, in a time of need. That's why programs to help exist.<p>I'm not sure whether I read that you were legally separated from your H. With him attempting to send bills he incurred your way, legal separation might protect you from any shenanigans he might pull. He's not working, and can't provide for the two families; therefore, him taking on debt, perhaps a lot of debt, to cover expenses is entirely plausible. You as the spouse may be liable to repay that debt if you aren't separated. <p>God has blessed you, and will continue to bless you. Stay strong.<p>goodandplenty, formerly Pollypurebred

(((((Hugs)))))))) Broken_wings,<p>Its' good to see your handle up on the board...I have missed you...we need to catch up soon...<p>Hugs,

Hi BW,
I'm glad you popped in for an update. You sound better than you did a while back when he first left.<p>I think catnip has a good idea. You need help to feed those kids--great news about the scholarship! That's terrific! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Dear BW,
I almost missed this post.<p>I am happy you finally got your degree. How you did it w/all the turmoil going on is astonishing.
Glad to know your friends at church are helping out. I know how expensive it is to have airconditioning repaired on a vehicle and hope you've had that taken care of. It is a necessary thing to have in Texas!<p>As for your H, I can't believe it. You had begun to progress, however slight, and he just didn't hang in there.<p>I wish you well BW. I hope things are uphill for you from here on out.<p>Take care friend.<p>love
Debi

OH, I really have missed yall.........<p>Cat.......it really is kinda funny, where he is now...in a vengeful kind of way anyways. These kids are not his, not a one.....this is ow #2. There is the irony. Now he is stuck. Gotta hate it for him. I am working now on finding all the nifty Uncle Sam programs that everyone says is out there. If you have any advice on how to search for them I would appreciate it.<p>G and P.......we are not legally seperated yet. that is on my to-do list for the next few weeks. I didnt have it on the top of the list since in Tx the courts wont grant a divorce until baby is 60 days old and at the time I figured "whats the hurry?" Well I am now figuring out the hurry.<p>Hey Twiister! Where have you been?? I have missed you! How are you?? Please call if you get a chance. I have once again lost the #.<p>BTDT.......I am a whole lot better now. I guess part of that is bc I have resolved to get rid of the scumbag. I tried. I really did, but it takes two and he just obviously want in it for the long haul. The Lord is pulling me through all of this and I have total confidence in Him.<p>Hey Deb........my church family is a Godsend. They have been there for me every step of the way. I dont know how people go through all of this without God and a sincere church family, ya know.<p>Love all of yall!!!!!!!!<p>bw
