Feb 22 is the child support hearing

Getting ready for child support hearing, my attorney tried to extend to 1 1/2, but the judge denied it and stayed with the 30 min. But we are ready, I got  a chance to she the X's finiances, shes working at a fast food place, barely making it, borrowed 15, from different friends. I one way I feel really bad for her, and in another way, I did not do this , she did, and what she did to her son and myself. She distroyed it all. On her break down of monies for the month she has smokes, and booze. She is supose to be on depacote, and seeing a counsler, she has been labled to have mental illness, and no one sees aproblem with this?? Non of her friends and oldest son..shes good to go??? WOW, Thank god my youngest son wants nothing to do with her, Where is the court and doctors for her, her follow ups etc . Its just a free for all. But in her DUI they were all over her on programs and tests, jail time etc.  I know this sounds crazy... I dont hate her, I feel sorry for her. all of her friend have bought into her story, her con. She needs help!!! and I am a fraid she will never get it and if she does..it will be too late.
I am feeling stronger everyday, I have my moments. When I see her in court, she is just so so angry, everything is a fight for her. She did it to herself, but I can help and feel bad, that mental illness has taken over and there she is.
 
Its very sad to see.

After my X died from his alcoholism, the doctor told us that the symptoms and the damage had been there for years.... possibly as far back as 7 years ago. He was so good at hiding it and lying about it, that we couldn\'t see the first symptoms until the assault happened 2 years ago. The anger and violence is a part of them. And even then, there was nothing I could do about it... because, I\'m SURE his doctor knew... I\'m SURE his doctor told him what was happening to him, but the privacy laws allowed him to keep hiding it. And he didn\'t want rehab - he loved the alcohol too much. He\'d been told TWENTY years ago that his liver was beginning to die and he STILL kept on drinking... STILL kept hiding it while telling us he was sober... near the end, he actually hired people to go get it for him when he couldn\'t go get it himself anymore...

The best thing you can do is focus on taking good care of yourself and your son. Because in the future, you are going to need that strength for each other like my son and I have. Thinking of you! Donna

She is drinking and smoking, and not taking her meds. There is little anyone can do. She has to realize she needs to stop and until then, just pray no one gets hurt.

I wish you luck in your upcoming hearing. Hopefully it will be fair to you and your child. Just continue being a good father. The truth will be apparent.
