My computer crashed so I haven't been here. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do!
W is out of the picture. Even though we all knew it wouldn't last, I hate that we couldn't remain friends, because we really had a great time together. But he chose no further contact and I respect that.
Please send prayers and good luck wishes my way. Thursday I have to go to my home town for a child support hearing. My ex is about $15k behind. We went last December, and his attorney had asked to have a thirty day continuance. The judge told us that she would give us a 15 minute recess to see if we could reach an agreement, and if not, she would grant the continuance. He refused to cooperate, so the judge said "You have no agreement. I will grant the continuance." He had managed to get it put off again and again, until they finally wouldn't put it off any more. The hearing just happens to be in front of the hanging judge this time. X has tried to talk me out of going to court. That didn't work, so he's threatened me. That didn't work, so now he's decided that he is going to tell the judge that when the other judge said we had no agreement, he thought that meant the child support order was null and void and that he didn't have to pay me anything. He really thinks it's going to work. I really think he's going to jail, which means I still won't get child support.
And please more prayers and good luck for Saturday. I am doing a charity run with my boss for breast cancer. He's put together a team. His brother, the great love of my life who doesn't know it yet, is also a runner. I haven't had the courage to ask if he's coming yet.

I will say a prayer for you. And I wish you well. I think you are doing the right thing to put your ex's head on the chopping block for the child support. Some people just don't get it or pull their fair share unless they are looking at the ax. If you didn't do this he would get further behind. And if he goes to jail hopefully he will get serious when he gets out and you will get your money. I have heard it is very hard to get back pay - but you can always try to get them paying for the present. I hope it works out. That is a lot of money and so hard already that you are on your own.
Your ex is going to dig himself in deeper by his ignorance and arrogance. It is very apparent with his comments and attitude.
Look good for that 5K - I will be rooting for you.
And yes, catch up on all of our posts and then tell us how you are doing with the child support case and the 5K.
I think it is best that it didn't work for you with W. I know you have pain and I would never wish pain on anyone. Maybe in time you will be friends? You really need someone who will want the same things as you and bring something to your table. I know you will get that in time - we all will.
HUGS!!
I hope lots of good things go your way this week!
