John's trial continues this week. According to him, it will probably last about a month. But we all know that "according to John" should be taken with a grain of salt. I began my monthly pleading for my support check on or around Wednesday, the 19th. I allowed for plenty of extra days to get it to me since it was mailed out on a weekend. I got all the songs and dances that I have come to expect. Thursday and Friday, court was his excuse. By Friday night, I was practically begging. I reminded him that I have 2 children, HIS children to support with that money, not to mention the flat tire that needed fixing.. which isn't cheap.
Saturday afternoon I checked my bank account again to see if it had arrived. And it had. Well, just under a 1/3 of it did. Not even enough to cover the bills that I pay that he is responsible for. Unbelievable. I texted him and told him that he's gone too far. His response was that the reason he only gave me a small amount was because he needed LEVERAGE in order to make sure he gets to see the boys! He went on to say that in another two weeks, if he has gotten to see them, he'll give me more. Can you believe that??? For the record, I have NEVER kept him from the boys. He knows that there is an open door policy here. Anytime he wants to come visit, he is welcome. He doesn't. The last time I recall him making the trip down to visit was early last summer. He has no license, and he apparently has no desire to take public transportation to visit his kids. In addition, I drive the boys up there as often as I can, and for every family party or event that goes on with his side of the family. I do these things for the kid's sake. They should be allowed to be with their cousins, Aunts and Uncles, as well as their dad. Just another bullshit excuse for stealing money from me and the boys.
I told him that I am contacting my lawyer to see about putting a freeze on the assets from the sale of our restaurant. I also told him that I would be looking into what the statute of limitations are for the theft of my engagement ring and my Amex that he used to fly to Vegas and racked up $22,000 on in one weekend. And I did. I texted my lawyer, and we will be talking later today to get our plan together.
I took my younger son to the park today, and while I was there, John called. I let it go to voicemail. He left a message, and this is what he said, "Hey, it's me. I know you gotta do what you gotta do, but I just wanted to let you know that I have some work lined up this week, so I should be able to put a few hundred dollars in your account by Friday. I don't know if that will help, but it can't hurt. Ok bye." So, he basically admits right there to having spent the money already.. otherwise he shouldn't need "work" to give me my support. Right? Right. He's panicking, and I'm going to enjoy watching him sweat while I do what I should have done two years ago. Press charges, and protect what's legally and rightfully mine and the boy's.
Too little too late, douchebag.
