I put up with my ex not

I put up with my ex not sending the right amount for a year. I got fed up and is having his checks garnished, and it was the best thing I ever did. (trust me my ex was furious) but that's okay because now I don't have to call and remind him that I need my check. Now the child support agency can handle it.

wow

Reminds me of a story where a snake asks a woman to pick him up and hold him - he promises not to bite her - she picks him up, he bites her - she says - hey what was that for? - he says - hey, you knew what I was when you picked me up.....a snake is always a snake ....

Beware... he is poisonous and wants you to suffer. Don't give in. He's a bastard.

Levi and I have continued talking — briefly — but the lines of communication are open, which is nicer than it's been.

Levi sent money, but he didn't send what he said he was going to send. He sent me two hundred dollars — and misspelled my name on the check! Two hundred dollars! It was almost insulting.

Wait. No. It is insulting.

Adrian's day care costs two hundred and fifty dollars a week. Adrian is ten months old, divide two hundred dollars by ten months and that's twenty bucks a month! That's ridiculous.

Then, he called me and asked me to drop the family court action. He said that he sent me two hundred dollars and that I should be "grateful." Grateful- he actually used that word! I almost want send it back to him.

I feel like an idiot. Thinking he was actually coming around. Even now I'm trying to console myself with thoughts like "Well, he half meant it" and "He did offer up a sincere apology."

But it was all a load of BS, an attempt to manipulate me into doing things "his way."

I told him that I would not drop the family court action, but that I'd be sure to tell the judge that he sent two hundred dollars.

Well, at least now I have an answer to my question: Leopards don't change their spots. Ever.
