His excuse for not working is that his g/f hasn't been feeling well and didn't want to be alone (for the past friggin' MONTH), and now he isn't working because she is supposed to get some results from a sonagram or something and she was afraid. Give me a damn break!
Just last year I had cervical cancer and a hysterectomy. I was alone when I got the news because we couldn't afford for Mike not to go to work because we had KIDS to take care of. Yes, he did take off when I had my surgery, but as soon as I come home he was back to work. I was ALONE from the day I got home from the hospital on because we couldn't AFFORD for Mike not to go to work - because we had KIDS to take care of.
His last excuse for not sending child support was that he wasn't working because he checked himself into a psyche ward because he needed to "get his head together and deal with some things".
Before that he couldn't send money or work because he had stomach ulcers.
There is ALWAYS a reason and ALWAYS an excuse. He disappeared for 7 years and claimed he didn't know where we were so he could contact us. That is yet another excuse because my grandmother has lived in the same house for over 20 years, so she has had the same address and she has never changed her phone number. He could have contacted her. He used to LIVE there so its not like he didn't know where it is.
I am just sick and tired of his excuses and bs. I really have had it. Normally I am the QUEEN of guilt. I feel guilty for things that aren't my fault, I've always had a problem with self-blame and guilt, but you know what, I don't feel guilty for this.
My only fear is now that he'll not work/get paid under the table and I won't get any money at all - ever. Not that I get it now, but I'm worried that this is going to piss him off and I'll be lucky to get a dime no matter what they do to him.
