What's Going On........

[JJJ]

I feel so bad for kids when stuff likes this happens. I don't regret never going after my ex and asking for one single penny. I know it's different scenario than your family issue but never less painful for kids. Kids only have one childhood and it shouldn't come with problems like this.

I agree Jessica. My first ex left when Jessie was 7 months old. He cheated on me, and was a pathetic huma being. He sent $50/month for a while, and when it stopped, I didn't care. I just wanted him out of my life. He would have been a really bad person for Jessie to grow up around!

He is now an alcoholic, and Jessie stopped talking to him years ago. Some people just have to be walked away from.

Dae Lynn took Damon to town yesterday to look for an apartment. They found one and had to put down two references. The last place that they lived gave them a really bad recommendation. Dae Lynn came home so furious!! We had painted the WHOLE house and sealed cracks!! She lived with no heat or air conditioning and so many other problems when she lived there......none of which he ever fixed!! Then after the kids moved out they had to move back into the home!! There was a hole in a door that Dae Lynn offered to fix and they said to just leave it (it was a cheap trailer house door) and she had been told that it was alright to pay their rent any time during the month......he mentioned that there was holes in the doors and that they never paid their rent on time!!! It ends up that we have friends that work in the office where they're trying to rent so they're going to explain it to the owner and leave it up to him to decide whether to rent or not. UGH......what is up with some people??!!!!

It's been rainy and cooler here so everyone's feeling sorry for Damon. Dae Lynn is really struggling with her decision but has decided to wait for a few months to see how things go. Damon is talking about seeing someone at a mental health facility. He really needs some help.

That wasn't nice of that landlord to do that. Seems that people can be so mean spirited. I hope Damon can get the apartment and that things will work out for him. I liked meeting him for just those few minutes, but he has a lot to deal with and get straightened out before he could ever be a good husband or a good father. I really hope he seeks the out the mental health facility. He'll just have to remember to be honest or no one will be able to help him.

I know Dae Lynn is a strong young woman and will manage. She has a great support system in her family.

Sorry but i dont quite understand, is the apartment just for Damon?

I agree it is so unfair when people can have power to say whatever they want, and then it is very hard to correct.

Diane I think the apartment is for just Damon.

[DianaB]

Yes, the apartment is just for Damon. And he did get it. He has the keys and took his camping stuff in and just dumped it. Then Dae Lynn took him to his sister's for the weekend. I'm not sure how that all came about. Dae Lynn has some food in the basement that they had before she moved in here and she told him that he could come and get what he wanted. He's not very happy about the apartment because he thought that he'd be moving back in here with her. Anyway it will make things a lot easier for everyone with him having a place to stay instead of a tent.

[Janet]

Did he really think he would get to move back in with you and Glenn? I thought Dae Lynn told him it was over. It would be great if they could remain together, but I'm for Dae Lynn being with someone who loves her and puts her and the children first. It's going to be a long time if ever for that person to be Damon.

I just feel so bad for a person that wants to do better, but when given the opportunity doesn't take it or screws it up. He just has to want it bad enough.
