Hello everyone, I've not started a new thread for a long while, but something happened today to change that real fast!
I talked to the X - what else?
He's refusing to pay for college. I called my L, who told me if I paid her a $10,000 retainer she'd take the case. I know how fast that $10k would go with her. It would be $20k before the check cleared. So all my hard work has been for nothing really. Either way, I can't win.
That man's word means nothing. He's the biggest jerk I've ever met. His parents have paid for their education since the day they were born. Know what he told me? He needs the money to "pay for his lifestyle". WOW. I always knew what a self-serving ass he was, but I always thought he was a good father to the boys (except for destroying their ideas of what a family is). I never once thought he would do this to them.
But he has an ulterior motive. He wants me to give up my part of his retirement. If I do that he'd "promise" me that he'd pay. WOW. Should I believe the guy who has never told me the truth?
Guess what folks? I will not do that. I'll pay for the one who lives with me and we'll make do. He can pay for the one who's going to private school and who now lives with him. And I will get all the QDRO paperwork filed this week.
The thing is, he's still trying to take credit for what I've achieved - professionally - even though he's been gone - what? -forever? I guess that's how he justifies his actions.
What I want to know is this.
Why are some men such upstanding good people who will do anything for their children while others only care about themselves? Yet, they put on this persona where everyone thinks they're SUCH GOOD GUYS. What's up with that? How do they get away with that?
Anyway, vent over. I'm off to Amazon.com to try to find some used books for the Fall Semester.
