The only reason she needs more is because my W decided to leave. Doesn't it make sense that if she wants her to have more just because she needs to live half the time with her simply because she wanted to leave me and destroy her family, that it stands to reason she should be paying for that?


To her ?

Yes, is makes complete sense....

Just because your plan is different, doesn't make it right...

What is the ONE thing that is different in that equation ??

Not trying to bash you, just trying to keep it real here.

I have to hold my tongue when my 14 year old D says how much she likes not having anyone around when she gets home from school until 8:00 at night. She may like it because she's a teenager but it isn't good for her. And at the same time I can't trust my W, even when she seems to be being reasonable. I know that this is just the facts of life for me now and i just need to get used to it. But man it sure can be a pain!


Once again....

Please...

Stop trying to control this and manipulate it, to get what YOU want....

You aren't working toward anything positive for yourself, and you are playing just as convincing "martyr" card, as she...

You aren't the victim in this...unless you allow yourself to be...

Make a plan for YOUR future, and work toward that....
