Hi Corey! I've been gone for a few days, but hopefully we be able to get on every couple days from now on. I started a new job yesterday and I don't want to start playing on the internet quite yet.
I'm glad for you at the same time sad for you. Only sad in LS terms though. I'm glad you did it, it sucks, but I don't think you had much other choice with how far H's behavior is.
I'm praying that this baby is born and it's NOT his! What a smack in the face that would be for her. She wouldn't be able to explain anything then..and I hope H would walk right out on her troll a$$ too then!
Phew. Big day. I'm sorry it's come to this. You deserve the sun, moon and stars. My hope is your husband will wake up and realize what he needs to do to win back your heart.
Am I a stick in the mud? I've never had a baby, but gambling in Vegas when I was 6 months (?) pregnant doesn't seem like the kind of thing I would be doing. I think I'd be nesting. They still smoke in the casinos right? Just doesn't seem like a typical "motherly" thing to do. But what do I know?

(((((((Corey))))))) I'm sorry you had to do this, but I am glad it is done! He has to live with his own consequences, and hopefully you will be well protected.

That's a good point, gfi!!! She doesn't sound motherly at all, and I doubt that when she has the baby she will change overnight. But I don't agree with a lot of her actions!!! Eventually I would think H would realize some of this stuff (has he not done that yet???) Karen

I think H does realize this stuff,but she is also willing to participate in the addiction with him and so in a sense she "accepts" him the way he is. She had also indicated at one point that she is not interested in quitting gambling and I don't think even after this baby is born that she is going to change one iota. What kind of mother calls her married boyfriend on Christmas night from her 12yr old daughter's cell phone? What kind of mother chooses to live with her parents even though she makes enough to live on her own? The kind that would rather have a built in baby-sitter and not have to pay any rent or grown-up bills so they can gamble and do their own thing? What a fine example she sets for her daughter, who by her MySpace page seems to have the same flair for drama and BS.
I'm just waiting to see how much she is going to like it now that H has essentially no money. He has always been able to loan her $$ to pay her car insurance, get her through until payday, etc...because he has had money in his savings account. She spends her money indiscriminately and has gotten used to him being able to bail her out. How much is she going to like it when he can't bail her out or is borrowing money from her? Its going to get ugly...ok uglier. Neither one of them seem to be able exercise any self control, so we shall see. I'm sure you all will hear plenty about it in the months to come. Lol.
