It all sounds like good advice, but still hard to deal with. The messages are some I stumble across while searching for other things, but you are right. She became an alien.
No, the kids do not work. My son stole a large sum of cash from me last summer and has done nothing to pay it back. He says he is trying to look for a job, but it has been 10 months and he could have had it all paid back by now and saving for himself. He was the most innocent child and the last person anyone would have ever suspected to do something like that. He said he did it because I started yelling a lot and he was upset. Even ex- w doesn't believe that. I believe it is related to the separation and divorce. He will be 18 in Dec. Says he can't find a job, but I don't think he is looking as hard as he thinks he is.
The tough love thing is hard and I just have someone else the same advice. I don't know if they will ever respect me or how hard I work because mom doesnt wprk and her family supports her actions and ecpectsvi should just pay her support forever while she does nothing.
My last attorney did not do that good a job, but this new attorney says "I'm an a**hole and I've dealt with people like her for 28 years." We shall see.
The kids don't understand that I only standing up for myself and am in this position because SHE used me. I hope some day they get it, but if they do, it'll be a long time.
