Family Forum / Marriage / Divorce / December 2004

I have a reason for asking this, but don't have time to go into detail
at the moment.  I would like other's opinions on councelling.  It has
always seemed to me that coucelling can only work in two possible
scenarios:

My how we digress. I think I figured out it's more "fun" to be all
stressed out and to see our kids feel like fools. Pawns. They feel like
a burden and the cause of mommie/daddys unhappiness. If they just
weren't born, there wouldn't be all this unhappiness between mom and

What else can I say? You're right. I've been naughty.
We are a part of a society. Accepted norms are reflected in law and we
should abide by those laws for the benefit of society. That which goes
beyond the limits of societal norm, should not be tolerated.

Krista,
You gotta go after your husband for child support.  Do not do it for
yourself but do it for your kids.  He owes it to his biological son.
It ain't right...  He needs to grow the f* up.

A few of you may recall that my stepson was ordered to pay
CS in a paternity case and that his payments were misapplied
by the State's CS Office when a modification was made due
to the child's custody being transferred to his maternal G/M.

Bearing in mind that I have a cold which has left me in a fowl mood...
Now, my other stepson, not the one paying CS, needs a $500 car
repair for the 2nd time this year.  I thought I had managed to avoid
this sort of stuff when, at age 26 (23 yrs ago) I had a vasectomy.

Whatever happened to Ron44d?  Is he still around?  Under another screen
name?
I miss getting annoyed with him.
Well, not to much.  Having really good sex helps keep things in perspective.

I've read all these and all I pick up is anger and stress. Stress masked
to look like it's the ex you're all mad at.
The thing about divorce is universal to us all, and that is....it's
takes years to be honest with yourself.

Hello again all!
I have been out of the loop for a bit, but all is going very well for me.
My STBX and I settled at our last Settlement Conference (California).  I am
waiting for the Judgement to be approved by her and her attorney, and then

   Been divorced since august, haven't spoken since june. I miss her
terribly and thanksgiving day (big suprise) was tough without her and my
real life. As I'm about to go to bed I noticed that I had a voicemail. She
had called during the middle of thanksgiving dinner to bitch ...

You actually beleive in your lofty position. That is, very near God
himself. I mean, raising your kids and all. Wow. That's never been done
before.  
My advice to you is...lighten up. Big fat deal. When the kids are with

I think I have a solution to my immediate financial problems.
I'm available for hire to carryout murders. Christmas specials include $25G
for maiming, and $50G for death. After a few gigs, I might be able pay
child-support again.

Is there a newsgroup for support for parents of abused adult children?  I
have one daughter who continues to believe..."it was all my fault"

Unless you wish to "beat on some metal" with me (figuratively) or find some
satisfaction watching me while I partake, then please do not read any
further. It is filled with profanity for the purpose of alleviating the
frustration I feel today.

I wish MERRY CHRISTMAS  at  everyone and I want to say that I will be
happiest for this Christmas because my Claude ex-husband will not make
me any more evil.....for the remainder of my life. I want to shout in the
whole world that I HATE him FOR ETERNITY AND
