need to vent

Ok starting yesterday I had lost two pounds I was at 250 from 252 the week before and for a total of five pounds. I was so upset yesterday and I ate so much I am sure I gained all that and more back.

Anyway this is what happened, My brother is getting divorced they have three kids. She is the one that left and is believed to have a boyfriend and probably had one for close to a year including when he was in the hospital last year because of a serious stroke which is unusual because he is young and she sent him right back to work so she could go and be with her boyfriend. Anyway yesterday was the custody hearing and they were both goinng for full custody. He is an awesome dad and she is a terrible mother. She sleeps all day while the kids watch tv sometimes the six year old has had to fix breakfast for her little brother and sister because her mom was asleep and alot of times they just didn't eat until dinner and when they said they were hungry she would just say, "I am not going to fix you something and have you waste it." She has also called the kids into school sick because they didn't wake her up to get them ready or she has been as much as 30 minutes late to pick them up because she fell asleep. She told me about those two things. Her parents who aren't around lied about things that they don't even know about. She even only bathes them once a week and it is usually thier dad that does it. To top everything off she stole his check out of his check book of a closed acount and wrote out bad check everywhere after they had sepperated.

Anyway the judge didn't even listen to all that and just believed all her lies and granted her custody and gave her more out of child support and alimony than he makes so her has nothing to live on and pay his bills.

Ok I am done I am getting down off my soap box. I just had to vent I am so angry.

Hi Lexi,
I'm an old-timer lurking right now (since I'm preggo and not losing weight), but I wanted to say that I'm so sorry to hear about that! I agree that someone should check out what is going on in that house. It reeks of drugs or alcoholism to me.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your brother. Hopefully the judge will see how much the kids need their dad.

She has moved in with her parents and the kids say that they stay with her parents while she has "Sleep overs at her boyfriends house." We need to find a way to prove that she has had a boyfriend for a while and that she broke up the marriage. On the plus side it was just a temporary custody hearing. She is a very good liar so she will try to cover everything up. The bank might prosocute her for stealing a check out of the mail and signing my brothers name and cashing it, so that would help too.
