Thanks for the kind words, "Crackwalker",

I haven't talked to my mom yet, just left a message for her to call me.
Even though we're on the "outs" I was still looking forward to seeing my
family for the holdiays.
As for my daughter.....*sigh*.....I'm just so disappointed, she was so
excited to see my dad she was saying "Pa-po" for days after she talked
to him on the phone. Maybe I can make her a doll or some stuffed toys
for her birthday and christmas. Lord knows I have tons of fabric
remnants. And as far a decorations.....I just don't know. I just get
so tired of salvaging holdiays and special days because my hubby
wouldn't try. I've been nagging him since June to start buying birthday
and christmas gifts.....but that $90 football jersey was just
irresistable.....and so was that $50 playstation2 wrestling game.....and
the $30 pay-per-views every month.
I'm trying so hard. Thanks for the encouragement. Holidays are so
special to me. We always had family celebrations while I was growing
up...I wanted to continue that with my own family, but Brad (my hubby)
just doesn't care unless it benefits him, personally.
Well, I have over a month to figure out what to do for christmas, but
Chloe's (my daughter's) birthday is on Dec. 12th. Oh please don't let
me have a breakdown....I'm trying so hard to keep it together.
Thanks again "Crackwalker"

you will. i was pretty much going to write the same as crackwalker.
keep it simple. simplicity can actually make for fonder memories.

i'm sorry you're going through this. i'm tempted to make some
commentary about the choices women make in regard to mates, but i'll
leave that for the fairer *** to deal with -- them and their lethal
talons.

Im so sorry to hear that you husband has ruined your economy. I know
personally how frustrating it is to be broke. I cant imagine how it
would feel when you have a full family though. I hope your economic
situation will be better, and that your husband puts himself
toghether. I hope your daughter will get presents from the other
family members? Maybe you could wish for gas money to wisit your
relatives as a christmasgift from them to you?

As a lifelong outsider of the hormone-frenzy, I've watched female after female
make bad choices, and have never been able to do anything but roll my eyes and
be a shoulder to cry on when the choice eventually backfires. I've got lethal
claws, but I prefer to keep them sheathed.
Sssst!

Thanks for your support guys....and gals.
I tend to get very emotional when I feel my security is threatened. I
actually talked to my mom today and she said she'd be more than happy to
pay for our gas to come visit. I don't care if it's pity cash, I'll
take it!
Also, hubby's family leant us more than we asked for so were able to pay
the whole amount. They said we could repay them with our tax return or
in installments.
So the hardcore pressure is off.
Hubby said his pride is "wounded".....I could have said something like
"It should be", but I decided to keep quiet except for saying "This will
never happen again. I'm taking over the bills, you go make the money
for now, and I'll see that everything gets paid" He didn't want to,
but I told him that I couldn't possibly do any more damage than he's
already managed to do. So I'll be more comfortable knowing I can be in
charge of bills and control what gets spent. I feel much better now
that I've put my foot down.
Thanks for listening to my hysterical rambling guys.

You can do it Frenchie. Your daughter deserves to have at least one parent
to see to her best wishes and give her a good life. Man he is an insensitve
boob.

Congratulations Frenchie, they always say when one door closes a window
opens somewhere.

Or if all else fails, keep a brick in your purse and bust the ****er
out!

Thanks.

It ain't pity cash. Consider it a make-up for all those times she didn't give
you those child-support payments. Gas money barely begins to cover it.

Wow, this is fantastic. Things always do seem to work out, but in the end, but
I was referring to how maturely you reacted. Aren't you glad you didn't waste
your time having a breakdown?

And the things you said to your husband to justify your taking over the
bankbooks are just perfect. He knows you are right and he screwed up big time.
It isn't necessary to gloat and rub it in, and you took the high road which
didn't go there. Good. )

What about Thanksgiving? Do you guys have enough money for the dinner or do
you already have plans to go to someone else's house?
