This is the toughest thing I have ever done. I have two boys, 14 and16 who I have raised by myself for the last 6 years. Their mom lives three blocks away but they must hate her, they refuse to go there as our shared parenting plan states. I still am paying her $48.00 a week which I am trying to change. The kicker? Last month I found out she is getting $600.00 a month in foodstamps and she must be selling them for weed. I wanted to cry for my kids sake. I did trick her and asked if I could get them some dinner with the card. I took the boys shopping and spent $200.00 on food for them. She had the nerve to raise hell with me about it. I hate her for what she has done to our kids. She has always played the "victim" shed fake tears to gain sympathy and I think she still uses it on the kids to make them feel guilty. I put my love life on hold so I can raise them & give them my love and attention. Sometimes I wonder how she can be so cruel and such a bad mother. I try to forgive everybody as nobodies perfect, but I really do hate here guts for the pain I have seen her cause my sons. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. Soon I will be having empty nest syndrome, they grow up so fast!
I couldn't even imagine how hard that must be. Not only having to raise your two boys, but living so close to their mother, having her manipulate everyone that she can, and having to pay fracking alimony at the same time? Jaysis.
It sounds like they have a wonderful father though, and while they may be moving out (relatively) soon, they will always be with you, and have the great relationship that you've been able to build with them.

Your boys are very lucky to have you......
You do sound like a wonderful father and I wish you lots of luck with this.....I hope you can change the child support or alimony situation very quickly! That is completely unfair to you and the boys.
I just don't understand women who can cheat their children out of a mother........ It is so heartbreaking, for all sides.
