So, I have spent the last couple of days doing some cleaning/organizing, which includes A LOT of shredding. I thought I had already shredded all of DH's old child support receipts but came across some that were mixed in with his bank statements, along with photo copies of his checks to CS.

It reminded me of the time that SD was here when she was about 22 and going through a divorce. We were talking about her husband and child support, and DH mentioned that he always paid his child support in full and on time, every month. SD's jaw dropped open, apparently she was under the impression that he didn't pay CS (wonder where she got that idea?). DH offered to show her all of the receipts (I still had them ALL at that time). She declined.

I also still have all of the paperwork from his divorce, including paperwork in which BM is trying to convince DH's lawyer that SD was mentally challenged, so BM might need more money (she had previously tried to get SSI for SD and got denied). And, after the divorce, a letter from BM to DH, in which she was withholding visitation because he would not give her my last name (or something stupid like that). She admitted that she was hiding SD at a freind's and when DH told her what she wanted, she would have friend bring her home. I have a whole file of her bullshit.

SD28 is too far gone, now, and completely up BM's ass, but part of me would like to send her all of that crap. Yes, your dad paid ALL of his child support and yes, your mother is a bitch, who only saw you as a source of income and as a weapon.

Here, SD, you've got mail.

even the facts meaning physical copies of bank transfers etc showing cs paid on time and lawyer docs, sd won’t have an objective brain and will buy whatever bullshit story bio mum sells her. Even when the facts are clear.

my 2 sd’s are brainwashed as, sd23.5 told her dad that he went to witch drs to do black magic against her mum.

the facts were that these kids knew their dad was busy at work and playing golf. If he had a choice between playing golf and black magic against crazy exwife- it was golf 100% of the time. If it were going to witch drs against exwife and spending time with me - it would always be me.

when you’re a narcissist, you always need attention on you to make you important when you aren’t. Sd’s have existed in hubbys life way longer than me and even they can’t see right through the lies. To top things off sd’s made those allegations minutes after telling daddy that they knew mummy lied...

unfortunately some are just so far down the stupidity hole they can’t snap out of it

I recently deleted a lot of old emails (I'm bad at that), and much of it was back and forth with DH about court stuff, SS's miserable school grades, etc.  Ugh, I can't believe we survived all of that nonsense.  So glad to be on the other side of that.

SS is 19 and he seems to have zero clues about BM. Of course, right now he's 100% dependent on her, so he can't really afford to see the truth.

EVERYTHING!! This is mostly due to the  fact that the Girhippo is still on the payroll aka CS for YSS stb 17.

Skids in my case still believe Chef is a deadbeat so even showing them proof may cause them a moment of cognitive dissonance,  but that is all.   As in other aspects of life, if you've been brainwashed to believe certain things are true,  you would have to question your entire earlier existence as well as those who have done the brainwashing.   For most, this is much too cumbersome.

No, SD does not want to see the truth because even though she is married again, she is very dependent on her mother. It's in her best interest to continue to convince herself that her dad is the bad guy.

I am way past caring but it hurts DH. He has come to terms with it but it still hurts. It's not the relationship he had hoped to have with his daughter, but a part of him knew that when he refused to go back to BM, it would eventually come to this. BM was not going to stand by and let them have their father/daughter relationship, not after he defied her. How dare he! He should have been perfectly happy to continue to put up with her abuse and cheating.

Taking his daughter away from him was her way of getting back at him, her way of "winning". Of course, it never occurred to her what she was doing to SD, nor did it matter to her. Such a selfish bitch.

DH and I survived her wrath, but SD didn't.... and she doesn't even realize it.

I swear, I could have written this, with SS instead of SD (and the married part, of course!)

You and I have very similar stories.

Yep. DH talks all the time about what a good baby and young kid SS was.

I just told DH last night that SS was never really the problem for me - except that he was what BM made our lives miserable over.

child support money train has ended and how she is suffering financially now from her bad choices.  I only get glimpses of it from SD20 when she mentions how North Korea whines incessantly about how much debt she has and how broke she is.  Younger SD turned 18 and graduated in May so it's not really been that long but already she is strongly feeling the pain of losing that $1000 a month plus half of everything.  SD20 turned 20 on Friday.  She asked me to get her some water color art paper for her birthday and some stuff for a hamster.  She says she wants a hamster.  Ok.  She said no cash cause North Korea would just take it.  Apparently her dad wrote her a check for $200.  It was written to SD20.  The check was altered.  North Korea wrote "and North Korea last name" after SD20's name and deposited it in her own account.  Said she needed the money to pay her credit card bills and that SD20 lives in North's and Stepdaddy's home rent free.  While this is true, they pay no rent.  The house was owned free and clear by stepdaddy before he ever met North Korea and is just indicative of North's financial problems.  SD20 also said stepdaddy, who isn't even 50, is showing severe memory problems.  He will repeat something to her six times and she is worried he maybe getting alzheimers disease.  North relies heavilily on his income from the mechanic shop he owns and works at.       

 I swear she thought child support in Florida just continued as long as she wanted it to.  She would say stupid things to DD5's dad like, "You are going to pay me for as long as those girls live with me and are done with college!!!!!!!!"  She was always getting bad legal advice from her hair salon clients.  She never went and saw a real lawyer so she was under the impression until older SD aged out that she would just be getting a crap load of money for many more years to come and stupidly just kept spending and spending and spending and running up her credit cards.   

 

I hope the BM in your case also feels the sting of having no child support money anymore too!

BM thought she would get CS for an extra 2 years, because SD was 2 years behind in school (which I believe BM did on purpose).

So, when SD got pregnant, then got married at 18, they tried to keep it a secret so DH wouldn't know to terminate CS. But, SD got mad at DH about something and spilled the beans, thinking she was sticking it to him by letting him know that she got married without telling him. Thank you, SD.

I'm sure BM was pissed!

Part of me wants to hand SS14 the flash drive I have everything on to him one day. Maybe when he is 21 and has had some time at college (fingers crossed- away from BM). It probably won't do anything and will just send him running faster to BM, but to just show him...

a terrabyte flash drive by now

Same we had reams and reams of paperwork, plus a court website that showed all the proof to negate Meth Mouths stories, we even offered one time to show Spawn.  She vehemently refused, which just proved to me she knew what a lying piece of crap her mom is.  

DH finally got rid of the bulk of it all a few years back, personally I would have loved to have it bound, written burn book on it,  and sent it anonymously to Spawn, but that’s just me.

I'm thinking we should just shred all relating documents, except for the actual divorce decree. Just purge all of the crap from our files and our lives. It's ultimately up to DH but he will probably agree.
