I was all set to write a long entry about how much the world sucks, how much the child support system sucks, and how much my landlord sucks.
And then I lost all motivation and have compacted my sentiments into these fine points:
(why aren’t my bullet points working?)
– my apartment complex seems to think chewie and i owe $500 for the replacement of our front door. they claim we kicked the door in. i say we don’t need to kick the door in. we have keys.
i also say they can take their $500 and pick up dog shit with it because we submitted the job ticket for repair to our door in October. it’s what…March now? the work just got completed yesterday. hell if i am paying to replace a door that took 6 months to repair even if i DID kick the bitch in.
– the child support system sucks. they readjusted the temporary order so that chewie has to pay a bunch more money again because he worked for 4 weeks over christmas. when all is said and done, and child support, health care, and day care are taken out of his unemployment check, he will have $723 to live on per month. his share of the rent $650. so that will leave him $83 for his car payment, gas, groceries, and electricity (the necessities). doesn’t include his cell phone or his share of any of our other bills like cable and internet.
i can see why some men try to screw the system. chewie is a good man and a good father and they have created circumstances in which he can’t possibly survive. if he and i hadn’t moved in together when we did, he would have long since been evicted from his apartment.
i am so angry with chewie for being such a moron. i resent him for fucking such an ugly, awful, evil bitch.
i know that’s not fair, but i am so angry that i can’t even control what i am angry at anymore.
and i am broke because of all of this so i can’t even go shopping to make myself feel better.
the fucked up things i that if chewie took an open job at the local deli, he would make even less than he does now on unemployment because of how little they pay. and they would take out more child support because he would be working again.
how the hell does that make sense?
so in order to survive, he has to wait for a construction job along with the other 45% of construction workers in minnesota that are unemployed. at least then he would make $30/hr and survive off of what was left after they got done spreading his money around.
i just don’t know how much longer i can survive this. (and by this i mean the economy, not chewie)
i have done everything i can to help us and to carry our financial obligations.
now i am tired.
Sheesh, that’s ridiculous. I hate landlords who suck, mine are awesome but previously, I should have documented my life as a reality show just to have substantiated physical evidence of when I mailed them stuff, when the ceiling was molding, etc. Ree-diculous. Child care and all that is additionally ree-diculous. I understand you being mad. I can buy you something from McDonald’s if you want!Lol. You know… Macy’s is having a 50% off sale this weekend, I need bedding if you want to take me. ^_^; I’m glad I got my piercings, because it makes you spend time with me and I am very happy hanging out with you so much, it makes me feel special. That’s why I laugh too often.

Also, I couldn’t think of anybody who cares about me besides you so I put you down as my emergency contact for Lifetime Fitness, so when I have a heart attack and fly off the treadmill and hit the wall at 15 mph and go on life support, and might die, you can pull the plug. I love you, man.

The system sucks.

I hate when some people can barely survive because so many people try to cheat the system, so they make it harder. It seems to happen so often. RYN: Drinking is more relaxed over here, but also my family is more relaxed. Only one of my four friends drinks, and that’s just the occasional glass of wine. Then again, most normal people my age go out to parties and drink most weekends, so I don’t know.

Thats ridiculous…I had hoped his payments would go down and you are right the system is screwed… Have you looked into united fathers or whatever its called…… did your apartment tell you about any fees before this? How strange…I’ve never had to pay anything like that for an apartment.. Certain things were always up to them… Hey whatever happened with your cars slip and everything..I read this and thought of it all… http://cbs13.com/local/call.kurtis.pink.2.956989.html

I don’t blame you at all on the door, that’s just insane. Glad you are standing up to that crap. I hear ya on the child support system! Sean pays $200 a month…but he also buys the kids *everything*…his ex wife is a horrid greedy bitch…every penny she gets goes to concerts and partying to get away from the kids…it’s so sad. RYN: *hugglez* Will update more today. Just emotionally drained.

I’m sorry you have to face this alone (by which I mean the two of you). I’m sorrier that you are tired. It seems to me that things are not going to change unless legislators are made aware of the inanities of the system, and that almost HAS to be done from a grassroots awareness campaign. The kind you are uniquesly qualified to spearhead! (Ever think of running for office?)

I totally know how you feel about Child Support. Kory was paying over $400 a month and having hardly anything left over. Then the bitch ex wife took him back for MORE money and lost. He now pays $120 month. Karma’s a bitch and sooner or later it’ll be in his favor. Kory waited a long time…

It is almost like a single income family…I feel so bad for you, but I do know that you and yours will make it through this tight spot. You are so right the sins of the father do come to visit all involved down the road. However you said it clearly he is a good man and in the end the child will be the winner to have a dad who is a great role model. That goes for you too

as you are there to show the son that people stay together and work out their problems. The two for you maybe the closest thing to a sane set of parents the boy can ask for. Good Luck and you are in my prayers.
