Snoskred - Life in the Country

So, a letter from the child support people arrives, they have reduced the other half’s payments by over $130. Which is very fair, and excellent news. And the cheering and joy and happiness cannot be described yet. And it lasted for a good 15 minutes.

Then a SMS arrives from the bitch herself. “Is there any reason you cannot pay your child support this month. I work full time but am still on the pension as I do not earn enough”

***head explosion***

What do you think she could be doing full time that earns less than a normal wage that any normal person could live on? Even checkout chick gets you $15 an hour. The wage I was getting doing that four days a week was enough to keep any normal family going. Especially given she sold their house, and now lives *in paid government housing* from the address she gave us. Her rent is roughly $33 a week if that is the case. What’s she spending all her money on? Male escorts, hoping they’ll get her pregnant and she can scam another 18% out of them?

When the shoe drops, it really stirs up a lot of buried crap. In truth, I’m not going to lie to you guys, it makes me want to kill her. I’m not kidding. And I’m telling you, from where I sit, many of those people you see killing other people probably have very good reasons, at least in their heads, if they have to deal with a person as evil as this bitch is. I could easily justify to any one of you why she should die and why I should be the one to kill her. What I can’t justify is spending time in jail for it. She’s fucked up enough of our lives already, yano? And knowing my luck, jail is exactly where I would end up.

I’d say news of the drop has not yet reached her. The Other Half is not replying to this SMS. If she calls, he might say “I’ll pay the child support when I hear from my kid” (hasn’t heard from him at all since Christmas 05, which was a quick phone call). He might say “Build a bridge and get over it”. He might say “It’s none of your business. The child support people are aware of the situation.” He might say “It’s nice to hear you have an income. When I have one again, I’ll pay the child support” (just to induce instant terror, which she deserves!) He might even say, fuck you, and the horse you rode in on. But probably not. He’s too nice.
