How It All Began..

It's not my fault....really. I created a website which "took off" and became very popular. Essentially it brought income into the family which we needed. The "ex" began to feel neglected, and keep in mind we had a new baby in the house.  In my own defense, I was working full time at a large financial corporation 40 hours a week, came home, cooked, cleaned, took care of my child, worked on the website. By 10 p.m. I was mentally exhausted. There was no time left for myself or him. I suppose I don't blame him for leaving, but it's the WAY he left.

Abandoned me and my child for 3 days. We didn't know if he was alive or dead. He never bothered to call my son in three days.  My child's at home crying because he hasn't seen his father. So typical. When we finally got him to call us back after threatening legal action or calling the police to report him missing or over abandonment, he finally called. He said only that he "needed time to think about what HE needed to do."

Two weeks later, I find out he's living with another woman. They eventually got married and had THEIR own child. Thanks alot. It never amazes me how people can just leave a family because they don't want the responsibilities, but then walk right back into the same situation. Ever since, we (me and my son) are still alone, still without as much money as we all had. I did manage to buy a pair of new $13 shoes for my son today from Walmart. He was so excited he said "they look like skate shoes mommy" which is all that mattered to him. Little does he know they probably won't last through Christmas at that price.
