not quite what i expected

well. that went better than i expected. bk called me this morning to tell me that he's sorry he's been so unreliable about money. (sorry is as sorry does, babe.) he says he'll be giving me money on a regular basis now (we'll see). i asked him what prompted the call and he didn't really have an answer. i told him his timing is divine because i just recently filed with dcss. i tried to make him understand the gravity of the situation but also told him that (honestly) if we cooperate and finish our mediation and he starts paying me, things don't have to get nasty. it's not like i opened the case and they're immediately going to throw him in jail or something. it doesn't work like that (i wish it did). he just listened in (what i assume was stunned) silence the whole time. i kept asking him are you there? because i thought he'd hung up or something. and he kept saying, "i don't understand...what does this mean?" i answered honestly: i don't know yet, but i'll let you know when i find out. this takes it out of our hands and prevents money from eroding any hope of a relationship between us.

i'm sick of hearing him complain about his guilt and his debt and his sorrow and on and on. d saw him last night at the grocery store with a giant boquet of flowers...yeah, 'cause that's a valid reason to not feed your children.
