Still Moving (Saying ILY Pt 7)

[mtb1981]

Neffer - The kids are doing great. They've kind of reached the point that they just come to terms with everything. In the beginning, they wanted to see her a lot or would cry when she would back out on her time with them. I eventually got to the point where I wouldn't even tell them they were going to see her because she backed out so much. It would break their hearts if I told them they were going to see her that day and she called it off an hour before. Now I don't say anything. We just get in the car and I take them there as a "surprise". I couldn't watch them be let down anymore....

AS - I've had the same thoughts about the money. It's kind of funny because she was blowing my phone up non stop to get the settlement check. Gave me a sob story about how she was going to be evicted from government housing for being behind on rent and her power was going to get shut off if she didn't pay the power company immediately. This went on for 4-5 days until everything was finalized and it was safe for me to give her the check. My lawyer told me not to give her anything until everything was entered because she could say it was a gift if she got it before the court ordered it. The next day when I took the kids to see herm, she had a brand new iPhone. I'm sure the money will be gone in no time. Oh well, not my problem...
