SadGirl - if you do a Google search on GIMP you can download a free fee web based program that mirrors Photoshop. It is actually quite robust and a nice alternative to PS with many of the same features.
If you are unsure how to use all the GIMP features you can Google "free GIMP tutorials" (there are tons out there).
Didn't know that, thanks. I'll get it. I hate PS, so hopefully it's easier to use.
I don't think I ever said the man was threatening to do anything. Perhaps I misread all the posts from today. I thought, or as I understood it, SadGirl's H was having money troubles and had to borrow some funds to have his day (night?) with the children. SadGirl said she didn't want her kids to miss out so she gave the money to her H. Maybe I strung this together all wrong (cause she said "technically" it was "his money") and understood it as if she did not provide the funds he would not spend time with the children. I thought that was a concern a while back - her H not spending time with the children.
I had thought (again, maybe I am thinking of another forum member, please pardon me if that is the case) a while back SadGirl was concerned with the lack of time spent with the children and was unsure how to handle things.
Maybe I am crazy and I not thinking of the correct person???
Guess I better read and find out! Maybe my mind is crazy today!
After work came 2 minues later, because He IMMEDIATELY replied and asked who took the picture of the one on my lower back. He also asked who I was sending it to.
Nope, not gonna tell him.

SG, you know your H, his values and what that path could lead to. I'm not discouraging you, just advising you to be able to handle the fallout if it happens.
You're right. I guess I better tell him. I just really want to test that jealousy/insecurity crap he spouts off.
Photoshop can be very confusing! I can get around PS okay but I do still have to go to "help" often! GIMP is very much like PS (I will be honest, sort of confusing at first!) but the tutorials are great.
The thing is you can't really base your OWN actions on a potential reaction from somebody else.
If he decides to make his W and children suffer from a financial standpoint then he is simply a cruel person and it is doubtful there is anything you can do (between the two of you I mean, by all means get an attny if that starts to happen) to MAKE somebody not be vindictive.
I know, but it's a fear. Especially since he said he could, but doesn't. He actually said it in a nice friendly tone. But still...
CityG... misunderstanding from both sides. My apologies. And hey girl, don't take things personally, you know I have a high opinion of you and your thoughts. Peace. ((( CG)))
I didn't take it personally! There is a good chance I am crazy so I wanted to be sure I wasn't mixing up SadGirl's posts with all the others I read today!
My friend died this morning so I am sort of not all there today!
CityG SadG has said her H is being more than fair with respect to the financial support. Her problem is to find the correct wording when communicating with him so that he does not take offense and continues to live up to his parental obligations.
Note: Not once has he ever said to her that he will stop supporting the children or threatened to cut off financial support.
This all boils down to COMMUNICATION.
On a lighter note... we have City Girl and Sad Girl here... I'm waiting for Bad Girl and Mad Girl to make their appearances.
