My ex called and put his mother on the phone, she asked me to write a letter stating I forgive him of his past childsupport (18,000!!) on his promise or should I say word that he will continue to pay his present due childsupport. It bothers me for many reasons, one being he has never ever kept his word on anything, ever. Secondly, if I do this for him I feel he will stop paying for another 7 years and just want me to write another letter and he will have never taken any responsibility for our son! He does nothing for our boy, nothing. He lives in another state but I let him have half summers as well as phone calls whenever. (which he has made me regret simply because he will call all hours of the night for no reason) He is disrespectful to me and my family because he feels he can. My husband wants me to write the letter, stating everyone deserves a second chance...but really, does he deserve one? Would you do this for your ex? Remember, he pays nothing towards medical or anything, this is his second month of actually paying his childsupport, second month in 9 years! Ugh, I hate this.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
So in a nut shell...no I don't think you should forgive the back childsupport. It would be one thing if he really couldn't pay it, but really if he had to work 2 jobs just to send you $50.00 a month then that is what should be done.
Your DH thinks he deserves a second chance? What about your son? Will he be able to go back in time and go to Chucky Cheese or get that new pair of shoes he needed? I don't think so.
