As some of you are aware, my husband (Allen) of 22 years left me back in Dec. It has been very hard for my son & I. I really love my husband. I am very hurt that he has decided that he doesn't like his life with me & feels that he needs to persure happyness elsewhere. (His words, not mine) Anyway...my son Quinn hurt his right eye last week. It's all cut-up/black. I know that it sounds silly, but I wanted to take a picture of it. Also, Quinn wanted to have a picture too. We have (had) 2 digital cameras. I cannot find either one here at the house, so I know that Allen took the cameras. I KNOW that we had 2. I asked Allen where one of them was & he said that he has IT. I said I realized that he has one of them, but where is the other. He claims that we only had one. Like I said, I know without a doubt that we had 2. Even Quinn said that we did. I even recalled last summer (2005) that we took both on vacation with us. I think that Allen sold it. I have caught him in so many lies & really think that's what he did. (Or perhaps he gave it away) Anyway, I found my regular camera, but the batteries are dead (takes the expensive kind) & I also need to get film. I just think that it's ugly that he's gotten rid of the camera. There have been many times we've (Quinn used it as much as I, if not more) wanted to take pictures since Dec., but haven't been able to because I couldn't find the camera. I would go buy me a new one, but I can't afford one. I'm just so pissed off at how selfish he is.

And another thing...Sat. I had Quinn a cookout birthday party. I asked my friend Kat to bring her camera. So, she did. We took about 5 or 6 pictures & then the camera broke. So I have no pictures of his 13th birthday party.

I don't blame you for being upset. He's plain being childish. That really irks me when they do that. Okay, so you don't want to be married anymore, fine, at least be a man and a stand-up guy about it. You don't try and cheat your own child out of things for your own benefit.


I'm sorry this is so difficult for you. I've been there but fortunately (if you can say fortunate in relation to a break-up) we were both in agreement it was the best thing for us. Hang in there and given time it does get better, although that's hard to believe some days.

I've got to go to the store today. I'll pick-up a disposible one. I should have already done that.
I think that a digital camera would be a good Christmas gift for Quinn. I'm going to make Allen pick it out & buy it for him!
