Summer 2009

[Dawn of Hope]

As if ANYTHING about MLC makes sense to us "normal" people...!

Given enough rope, he will hang himself.

Okay, so the weeks have passed, last week was school enrollment, this week, D is supposed to return home....

Now, let's have some fun with this, since the pattern has been running on, for so long, I bet everyone here can tell me what is happening, or what will happen this week.

Who wants to start?

For all of those who said Dick won't send any support or money to enroll the children in school, nor send money for clothing or school supplies.... Please stand up and give yourself a pat on the back. You are right!

Now, for those with the keener knowledge, who believes Dick started brainwashing D while she was the only child left in California? Okay, I will applaud you, for you are right again! Dick has enrolled D in School in California... but we all figured that was going to happen the moment D went back to California to complete her summer job.

Remember, there is a court order for both children to go to school here in Kansas, but when has a silly court order mattered to Dick.... unless it had to do with me, right?, Right.

I've already come to terms with having to let go of D, just as I had to learn the hard way with S, nearly two years ago.... it didn't take him a month before he realized what kind of a mistake he made, and the end results really did end in my favor... so I am praying the same will happen again, and D will finally see who her Father really is, and I won't have to do a thing.

Just a few weeks ago, D sat in a room with only the Judge and gave him conclusive reasonings why she should return to school here in Kansas, AFTER the Judge had given Dick residential custody, AND she convinced him against his better judgement.

I'm just wondering what he's gonna think after he catches wind of what is actually going on...... Oh, I can't be that lucky, but I will settle for the Judge taking a moment to give Dick a second look.

In the mean time, Jane is on her way back here to go to court on a contempt charge.... contempt? Yes, contempt, she lied in court about her income, and how long she's been employed.... and of course, she owes a great deal of back child support on top of it all....

There's talk Jane is going to bring MY D back so she can collect her things to bring back to California, but ALSO use D to lure her own to back to California too.... Jane has told her children Shannon was able to tell a Judge exactly what she wanted and won, and is trying to get her older two to do the same.

Do people like this ever get caught? Probably not, but I'm looking forward to the day when I look in D's face, and see the same expression I saw on S's face the day he returned home.

Wanna write the rest of the story now?

Hi Laughing,
I don't really know what to say. Your xh is a peice of work. You are a very strong woman but I know the situation with your d must be difficult. I am sure she will miss you and want to be home before long. Just give her time. It must be so confusing for children of any age especially when one parent is so crazy.

I am sure that your story will have a happy ending. Your children will be home with you and you will all heal, move on and thrive. I just pray that it is sooner rather than later.

[BeingMe]

Things will work out in the end. Your D is confused, not sure of what she wants. She probably loves her father too, and wants to believe him. I know this must be so difficult for you, but your S is home .... hallelujah!

Hi Mermaid,

Thank you for responding, I too, hope things change soon, however, I hope my daughter doesn't have to suffer from homesickness for too long before she can come home.

As things are setting up, it looks like both Dick and Jane are going to be in contempt in both their custody/support cases, therefore, may not return to Kansas very soon. This has me a bit worried. Although, D is old enough to fly alone, and this may be the way she will be returned, when she is ready.

I've put it all in God's hands, it's all I can do for now, except for keeping my Attorneys continually updated and informed.

How are you? How are the girls doing?

[Between Tears]

BeingMe,

I know you're right, D does love her Father too, and this is as it should be. During this time, D will hopefully see through his masks and see him for the man he is, just as S did while he thought he wanted to be with his Father. I just hope she doesn't get too lonely being the only child of two very selfish people who are very rarely home as it is.

Yes, S is home and will be home for good. He will be 18 before long, and will be able to make choices for himself... and soon after that, D will age out, and that will be the last of it.

In the mean time, it's all in God's hands, and in my Attorney's minds, it's all I can do for now.

Hope you are well these days.... how are you feeling?

[BeingMe]

I am feeling fine, thank you. How are you doing? Survived the summer? What has D decided? How is S doing?

I'm glad to see that your son is home (near by) for good. As for your daughter, she's going to have to make her way out there w/her father and the loon for a while before she sees the light, just like your son did. If she's not back home now, she will be before the end of the calendar year. She's not going to have her brother there to help her out.

You and your family have had a very tough time of it. I do hope that the end is near and your lives can actually settle down and plan for the future as a little family. It's got to soon stop. I've never seen anything like this in my life.

Please take care of yourself.

Hi BeingMe,

D decided to stay in Cali, is going to school there. She's changed, just talked with her, and asked her a few questions, and she responded with words her father has put into her brain. It sounded just like him, only with her voice.... so the D I know and love is gone for now.... hopefully there will be something to bring her back to reality someday.

I knew she wasn't emotionally strong enough to fend off Dick by herself, and I wish she had stayed here... But the Man upstairs has something better in mind, and this is how it should be for now.

S is doing okay, he's worried about money, while Dick hasn't sent any support, and it put the burden on me to pay for his school registration and school supplies. I didn't have the extra money, so I robbed Peter to pay Paul, as we all do from time to time, but it also means we will be loosing our cell phone service, along with a few other amenities... but it will be alright, things go this way from time to time.

I just need to get another job.... and stop feeling angry over something I have no control over.

I'm glad you are feeling fine... it's good to hear.

Take care of yourself and thanks for responding
