Hey, guys. Just dropped the kids off. I was sad tonight an hour before I had to take them.
Thanksgiving was good. The kids were great helpers and we fed over 300 people so that was good. It was good to be with friends and family. The kids say they want to keep helping every other Thanksgiving with me, so that's nice. Soccer was canceled, and just went to church today. Asked everyone to pray for me. I need to work on the L stuff the rest of this week. The L also emailed me Thursday to work on getting the copay receipts for the copays I paid those 7 months to ask for reimbursement of half of them. Thinking about just contact the dentist office, therapist, pharmacy, etc, as I 'm sure I didn't save all of them!
This is going to be a rough week, but at least will be over soon. D10 told me on her way to dads, that X runs the heat in his car but then opens the windows and she freezes. I told her she needs to speak up and tell him, and she says she asked him to close the windows as she was freezing, and he wouldn't!!! I said well I guess all parents have their quirks, and she said well dad has most of them!!!
Kat, I got your card(s)!!! I finally opened my mail. You are TOO sweet!!! How was your thanksgiving? About to drop over to your thread....
You never know what Santa's helpers have up their sleeves!! Give me a call, I know this week will be hard for you, so really I am good anytime. I hope it cheered you up a bit!

Just talked to my L. She talked to X's L. He has no witnesses or exhibits prepared for the trial. Just X is going to be the witness in his case. She was saying it might be harmful for me that I don't live in the same county as the kids' schools (my county's schools are F schools). I told her my schedule is flexible, as unemployed now, so that's not a problem for me with picking up the kids. If I did get a job, I would put D10 in afterschool care and pick her up after (most likely any job I would get would be in the same town as her school).
She said X's maxed out all the credit cards. I think he's counting on me getting a job to save the situation to some extent, but as my L told hers, there are qualified people with work experience that have been working the last 10 years that I'm competing against....It's all so sad...
Make him file B by himself. What a jerk!! They might not even let him off the hook then but why drag you through it too? That would be an additional 6 months attached to the train wreck called your H!!
I am really sorry he is doing all of this.
hugs, kat

Maybe you could also give your L some of your statements from before he started his A, showing that you had the cards paid down if not totally paid off. The judge might want to hear what he has been charging.
The sad thing is that I don't even think B will save his spending ways. He feel that he is entitled. Sorry but he isn't.

Karen - Definitely show the credit card statements since the separation. I know that legally you are both responsible, but since it came to a trial, I think the judge would want to see it. I will be thinking of you this week...
