Hi Kat, after the BD and W's separation she filed for county assistance without telling them of my support. I paid her as soon as she left. Wait, that sounds weird. I paid her support when she left.
So the County brought a child support hearing in W's name. So yes, we have a court order on child support. And the order says that the county can levy on my tax refund if I fall behind - which again, I am not.
Btw, I spoke to my d19 in Boston who I suspect of being a lesbian, and used you as my starting off point for the discussion (as you suggested). I asked her "I have a friend whose 16 year old daughter recently came out of the closet. Do you have any advice on how she should best show her support?"
My d19 said you should make sure to treat her the same. Show your daughter the same love that you showed her before she told you. But my d19 did not open up to me about where she is at, or anything more about who she is.
I suppose when she is ready, she will talk about it. My 14 year old has a hard time with how people talk about people that are gay. We have talked about it. It is a lot to take in. I do treat her just the same though, so I suppose that helps.

Wet, You may want to think about starting a new thread. I think I'm poster 102 and generally around the 100th posting, they lock the threads.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
