silence = drama

sorry for the lack of substantive posts the last week or so. i'm hesitant to post my legal plans until they're actually underway, until i fully understand what i have to lose/gain. the most vague version of it is that r who swore up and down that he would always take care of us "you're my family" - isn't. i haven't gotten any money since august 15 and that was less than half of our agreed amount. when i told him yesterday that i needed money he said "there is none." i told him there is a legal minimum and he said "not until there is a court order." is that a challenge? it isn't hard to get a court order. and now he's either lied to me about his income or to his apartment manager and the public defender's office. either way he's painted himself into a bleak little corner. he's again saying he won't work so much and that i need to get a job. while is has no bearing on my situation i really wonder how someone can change so fast. how did we get here?

updates when i have them, for now, it is parker's first day of preschool!!!
