Letting him out of CS? You can't collect CS from someone with no job. I take him to court, he goes to jail (GA state law) and then where would that leave me?
I absolutely didn't use my child as any kind of tool. I'm concerned that Gabe's situation is going to blow up again with my child there and that just isn't acceptable. I'm going to leave it up to Marc and my gut feeling. It's not Gabe's treatment of Marc I don't trust, it's the volatile situation he is in.
Uncomfortable? No. A little awkward? Maybe. There was no tension or frustration on my part. I didn't want to control him at all. I wanted the courtesy of him telling me what he was planning to do next as he and I both knew this was temporary. To just "sneak out" in the middle of the day was really cowardly but it's par for the course.
I have kept it strictly business until my stupid, compassionate self was called up to 'help' the father of my child. I can say with no uncertainty at all that it will not happen again. He can sink the next time. I frankly don't care. He had an opportunity to get his life straightened out without anyone asking anything of him (except that he be a dad to his son). He chose to go back to the drama.
He's not my friend? Yeah, I'm beginning to think it's not possible to be anything more than civil with him. That's really too bad because we had a lot of fun together over the years. So be it.
