Whoa

I completely missed October. And November.

My bad.

Well, October was crazy busy because of work. November's been crazy busy because it's the beginning of the holiday season and it's just been a shitty month. I got rear-ended on the 11th, that got settled this last week. My lover boy's been in jail since the 18. Stupid bullshit. But they sent him to Williamson County for child-support bullshit. His ex-wife, who was mad at him, called and told them he wasn't paying (which he was, which they knew he was) and they put a warrant with a 7000 dollar cash bond out on him. He had some past stuff (stupid stuff. warrant for driving with expired tags) here in Travis county and they moved him at the beginning of the week up there.

Williamson county is THE WORST county to have any legal trouble. Apparently, the law means nothing to them. When they set his child support for separation, the amount was fine. Within his means for his profession, and also more than what most custodial parents get. When she finalized the divorce (after putting him in jail on false assault charges) with the same evidence she had his child support finalized at $1000 per month.
Not for two kids.
Not for three kids.

For ONE fucking child. Texas law states that child support should be set at at least 20% of the non-custodial parents wages. Wow. I had no idea my kind of husband made $6000 a month as a disabled veteran and journeyman plumber!

So, needless to say he's fallen a bit behind since they got divorced in 2000. So, ever check he's gotten over the last 3 years they've taken half of. Which is about $1000 a month. So he makes little more money then I do, and we haven't been able to afford a lawyer so that sorry, greedy bitch can go back to getting something closer to what will allow us to live and enough for her to support his son. Even though, even when she was getting all that money, for three year straight, then half of his unemployment check, she apparently still couldn't keep gas in the car to get him to school?

So, over the last six months we've been sending money straight to him, or paying what expenses we can online. Apparently, his ex-wife thinks "child-support" means "my lazy ass and my husbands lazy ass" support. Because when they were getting money, THEY were fine, but his son would still call, "BJ.. I really need this.. can you talk to my dad when he gets home?" And I'd be like, "What? She's getting 300+ dollars a week and can't even get you new pants? Or gas? Or school supplies? What the fuck?" She can't seem to get him to the DMV to get his license. And apparently the flooding and damage from the hurricane that went through the Texas Rio Grande Valley was his fault. I talked to him through the entire thing, and she was yelling at him because there was water coming out of the walls.

Uhm, you dumb bitch, the eye of a hurrican is passing 30 miles to the north of you. This might surprise you, but your house is going to flood. Pray for me. Pray for us. Pray that I don't get her on the phone when she gets back from visiting her family for the holidays (which she ruined for me, completely) and tell her exactly what I think. Because if I do she won't give any of this the time of day. But then, we've made several, SEVERAL agreements which were fair to everyone involved, and also gave her a bit extra (he let her file his tax return and keep all the extra money) and she still didn't hold up her part of the deal.

Okay. Now I'm frustrated. If I ever meet her (heh, we've been together forever, I've spent days and days on end with her son, and I've never met her) I'm going to punch her right in her cunt.

If I can find it. I hear she's a rather large woman.

Alright. I'm done. I love you guys. Bear with me. I miss my Jimmy, he's my lover, my best friend, and my companion. He has been for years. And the best I get is a 15 minute phone call everyday. Except for when I work, because they turn the phones off before I get off work. Visitation is the same way. I've been trying to get him out, but right now I want to punch his lawyer right in his cunt, too. More on that this week ;)
