Apparently thats the way it is when divorce happens these days. Or if your not married but live together and share everything. When you split it seems to be the woman who gets EVERYTHING and the man that gets screwed over royally.
Am I being biased?
Nope. Just honest. I’ve watched my husband lose everything. His house, his furniture, his cars, antiques that belonged to his now deceased motheR. Not to mention the ongoing and ever increasing child support that she screws out of us. All the while NOT letting us see the children that we have a court order for.
Almost two months ago, Michaels ex wife decided she would let Tycen (who is
get on the phone to us and tell us that he wasn’t going to school because his mother said he could have the day off and that he wasn’t coming to our house because he didn’t like me. Now bare in mind, Michael could hear her in the background, coaching him with what to say.
After he hung up on his father, we were just totally stunned. Completely and utterly stunned. As I’ve written before, Tycen is often like my shadow and every second weekend, he would go out in the backyard with his daddy and pick me bunches of roses. Really the behaviour of a child who is scared of me and hates me isn’t it?
Now to make things worse, she has gone and taken out an intervention order against me, which means I can’t go within 100 metres of her and 5 metres of the children. So, even if the children decide they want to see their father again, they can’t. Not unless I move out every second weekend while they are here. I can’t pick them up from school, I can’t take them and drop them off to school, I can’t go to their boy scout activities or anything at all.
By rights, I’m not even allowed to post anything about her or the children here, because the intervention order states I am not allowed to electronically publish anything. But as most of you know, I never was one for following the rules and if I want to post about my family, then I fucking will. And the consequences be damned.
My husband, doesn’t believe in love. He loves me. But he doesn’t believe that love is real or that it can last forever. He put his trust in a woman 20 years ago, who swore that she would never lie to him, never hurt him and would always, but always love him. Now, believe me, I’m not stupid enough to believe that everyone’s love lasts forever. But I am stupid enough to believe that people would do the right thing when it comes to breaking up a family.
The majority of the bitches out there have ruined in for the minority who want to do the right thing when their relationships end. I know that *I* have never, ever ripped off any man that I’ve been in a relationship with. It may have ended, but it ended nicely. I took what I came into the relationship with and so did he. Anything we bought together we either sold and split down the middle or we just decided what we wanted and worked it out fair and square and we remained friends.
My relationship with Michael is odd at the best of times. He trusts me to a point. And the rest of it, I’m not sure. He knows that I don’t want to take him for everything he has, but he has been so badly hurt that there is always a wall that I’ll never get past. Or at least I don’t think I will and its frustrating. To the point that sometimes I just break down and cry because the man I love with all my heart, will never love me the same way.
People tell me I am settling for less. But I don’t think I am. I live in hope that I can prove to him that there are some of us out there who really do love for no other reason but that they can’t help it.
If we split tomorrow, I can tell you now, there would be no fights over furniture and money. I would leave with what I came with and even though I didn’t come with much, I know that Michael wouldn’t leave Montana and I with nothing. He isn’t that kind of man. But I can assure you, I wouldn’t be dragging him into court to take half of his house and one of the cars and half the money he has in the bank. Because its NOT MINE AND I’M NOT ENTITLED TO IT.
I just live in hope that as our relationship goes on and we learn more about each other, that he realises that I am as far removed from his ex wife as possible.
I hate the fact that I am the reason he can’t see his children. He tells me that it is not my fault but if he was with any other woman than me, she wouldn’t be taking the children away. If he didn’t believe in love, like he keeps on telling me, then why hasn’t he ended things with me?
Its simple.
Because in his own way, he does love me. He’s just afraid to trust me and all because of a woman who is mean spirited, spiteful, nasty and money hungry. While we are paying her $1000 a month in child support, she is buying a new $600,000 house that she is moving into with her new boyfriend. She works full time and lies to the government about it. She stops us seeing the kids ILLEGALLY and goes to child support and ups it as much as she can and again, there is nothing we can do about it. Because she has them 365 days a year all we get is screwed over yet again.
BUT, if we get them back, does he get the extra money he has paid back? Not a fucking chance. Why? Because the family court and the child support agency are set up to protect the woman. And coming from a woman, I think it sucks ass. What about the women like we are dealing with?
One who lies, cheats, schemes and cries the victim time and time again? Nothing happens to her. She’s allowed to make false allegations. She doesn’t have to prove them, she just calls up the agency in question, turns on the waterworks and they instantaneously believe her and screw us in the ass.
So with five days till Christmas, there is no hope of us seeing the children. Michaels moods are all over the place. And its understandable. He is happy, sad, angry, frustrated, relieved, a million and one different emotions on any given day.
That and the fact that his niece has gone back to being Auntie Robyn’s go between, its really just made him believe that there is no such thing as an honest woman.
Its frustrating, but I know if he just opens up to the idea, he’ll figure out that some of us, say what we mean and mean what we say.
The only thing I want from him is love.
That’s been the only thing I’ve ever wanted and that wont ever change. Lets hope it wont take to much longer for him to work it out.
Patience grasshopper patience.
So they say…
Right?
