Your ex sounds like a mean, angry man. I really feel for your son, and you having to see his hurt. Maybe when he simmers down, he'll change his mind.

Hey all, just letting everyone know that I'm not going to see you all Friday night after all. I am not going to be able to leave town until after 5pm, so with having to hit all the rush hour traffic, etc, I won't get up there until well after the barns are closed for the night. I will however, see you all bright and early on Saturday!!

My almost 16 DS can be the biggest ash! But right now I have to be really understanding because his dad told him that as of this last Sunday he wouldn't be able to come stay with him(dad) anymore. What kind of parent says he loves his child so, so much, then walks away from them because he has to pay child support? he somad

I can't even begin to understand. And I am trying to stop trying to understand. It drives me crazy! Along with the fact that my DS is hurt by it. We will get through it, but wow! the teenage years are tough enough!

He is being very selfish..

He still has to pay child support regardless of whether he sees his kid. I feel for for son..I shall add him to my prayer list.​

I consider this the lowest of lows. That is absolutely awful. Your son is hurting so much right now and is feeling so....(can't think of the word)....but his trust and feelings have been crushed by this man who says he loves him. whenever my DH made a SINGLE comment about paying child support for his son (my step-son who is now 22)...I reminded him that she (mom) may not live the life-style that DH likes, but kid has a roof over his head and clothes on his back and food on the table....and my DH needs to help provide for that...because this is his child.

Hopefully, your ex-hubby comes around and realizes what damage he has done and also what he will miss by cutting his son out of his life.

My son is just being an "applesauce"....of the highest level. My DS problem is that somehow he is feeling entitled and I hate to break it to him....that money in the bank....MINE....that car outside...MINE.....the room you are sleeping in ....MINE....the food you eat everyday...MINE. My kid is a good kid....he just needs a slap of reality....he needs to move out, but even though he is almost 18, he is not graduated...will be a senior next year.

Thank you so much. and I know you are right. DS is just mentally ready to move out. I have made comments to people that I just want to strangle child A, B, or C at times...I was told the feeling is totally normal...means they are healthy kids and you have a healthy relationship.

DS is a very good kid and I am very proud of him....he is just of the age to fly the coop and can't quite do it yet. I am hoping he goes and fights fires this summer....he will be away all summer and the work out is good for him....burns off all that energy. Maybe he can go live with a realitive for the summer...that way he gets away from us and won't have to deal with Mom and Dad telling him wht to do all the time. He once went and talked with an army recruit, at the local fair, wanted to join when he was 17. Was told: 1. You have to have parents sign for you (made him mad that he had to have our permission) and 2. You have to have a diploma. Reason he wanted to join: He was tired of mom and dad telling him what to do....oh my gosh....he would have had a wake up call....

Not to worry broody I know where she lives and I also know when she will be gone. You could ride along as my apprentice!!!

I suppose I'll have to get a mask to eh?

Sounds like the "Chicken Gang" is on the run...adding to the pack as they travel across the country....Victims and accomplices....People, fear them, lock up your chickens, hide your kitchen towels (masks)......and...stay....safe.
