DH had to drop something off with for the boys last night that they needed but forgot at our place over the weekend. When he gets there, he is informed that OSS is over an hour late getting home and wasn't answering his phone.

DH is told where he is and starts heading toward that friend's house. I'm trying to find that friend's phone number and am texting/calling OSS basically saying "you're in deep sh*t with your dad, so you better call him". DH gets in touch with friend's mom and, SURPRISE - OSS isn't there but friend thinks he knows where he is.

BM got married. I'll be darned. She actually got this one to the altar. Granted, they've been together *maybe* a month now, so no real time to figure out this train wreck of a situation.

They are also moving to a more expensive apartment.

He also has a gaggle of children and a job.

*sigh* Who wants to take bets on how long the honeymoon period lasts before drama starts back up?

I'm very happy for the kid, and very happy that it was his top pick school. Also happy that it is about 90 minutes away from BM so OSS won't feel pressured to live with her and help with the bills.

He says he is going to apply to other schools, too. Those are out-of-state, and unless he gets a full-ride scholarship, it won't be affordable. He gets free in-state tuition due to DH's disabled veteran status, and DH has made it clear that he's not helping pay tuition to out-of-state or private schools when there are state schools that offer the same programs.

Vent ahead.

BM apparently contacted DH and said she needed her CS money early, so DH is heading down to her place to give it to her.

He works on the north side of a large city. She lives on the south. It's an hour drive without traffic; easily 1.5 given how much traffic and construction is happening at the moment. Add another 30+ minutes to get home from her place.

Oh well. It's his time, and he best not complain about being tired when he gets home. She gets CS on FRIDAY, so it's his own stupid fault for going down there.
