After 18 years of not recieving money from child support My ex owed me $202.000 dallors and it included back pay and I could not be meen to him and collect because he is apparently getting sick from so much alcohol and stupidities he has done in his past, so I decided that as a gift to him for christmas I would drop all Child Support and back pay because when I face God I want to have a clean Heart and a Good Spirit and collecting Child Support is so hard on him and hard on me. I cannot tolerate the stress of having my Children feel I am hurting there Father.. So sometimes we need to stop and realize if we are just collecting to get back at that person or do we really need it, I do need it but my children are all over eighteen and so why should I bother him at all.. He has his life and I have mine and all I want is for him to be Happy and my children to be Happy. I think that has been accomplished!! I have my Peace of mind now and even though Some of you may feel I did wrong, I did right in my mind..

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
One of my best friends was owed $90,000 in support and when her youngest turned 18 she finally filed to collect it all. And then her kids actually asked her to withdraw her petition and she did it on their request, although she still struggles to make ends meet and her sons could have used the money as well in supporting their families.
So, it is a family decision and I am glad that you were able to find a solution that works for you and yours!
Although it wasn't money between my ex and I she did die young and I always told my children long before she died I didn't hate her for what she did just pitied her.
