Do you really think I should respond?
My mom forced me to promise her this morning I wouldn't. :) She said I'm too emotional and he always does this...and he does. He waits til the last minute and he knows I'll let him walk all over me...but not this time, seriously.
I did respond after I got the message last night, all I said was "No. That does not meet my approval. I'll see you in court on Thursday."
He did text me today and asked if I got the email, I told him yes, and that we can let the judge handle it tomorrow.
He said "why? I agreed" - and I explained that I will NOT agree to the terms of his arrangement and I will not forgive all the arrears. Obviously I couldn't say much b/c it's impossible to text an entire conversation. He hasn't responded. I've TOLD him I am willing to negotiate - my brain is wiped out today, if he has any suggestions I'm all ears. But I don't see that happening - he wants me to do the work.

<<....why can't he go back to banking and then pick up a couple of evening shifts at the bar/restaurant? Wasn't he in banking and then decided to "diwnsize" his career?
>>
He got fired, he did work there for 3 years. Several promotions. He really was great at what he did. After I left, he stopped meeting his "goals"...and then there's the sexual harassment issue...

Funny, it's worked for me. It's worked for other people I know.
I've never had a problem with a retail place allowing me to work every other weekend. I've never had a problem getting hired at one of these places.
You work 8 hours at one job (9 hours with a lunch), 4-6 hours at another job, and you still have enough time for a full nights sleep. Though, it does suck, SO THE f*CK WHAT?!?!? It's what you do in the short-term to make things better in the long term.
Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, I've done it!

And, really, he should have attacked the debt head on a LONG time ago. he shouldn't have waited until it was so huge, it was unmanageable. And now he has a 3rd party trying to urge JL to just make it go away. Nah...times up, buddy. You created this mess. Deal with it.

Nah, don't respond. Let it go to court.

I wouldn't respond either. By you responding too many times it is a sign of weakness. One of my father's good friends was a former CEO of Kmart. One of his favorite quotes was when negotiating, "Whoever speaks first will lose." That him dwell on it for awhile and wonder about the silence. Silence is a powerful tool.

Does JL have the power to make this go away or is the state doing it now? It may not be her decision to let it go. Where was his compassion over the whole time, where was his concern. Lets just say its not even about the child, how about manning up for a debt that is owed. You can't get blood from a rock, but if the rock tries, you can't fault the rock. What has this guy done to help himself, what does any person do when they have to support a family, why does he need a special note now? He got himself into it, and I feel for him, but he is a big boy and he was big enouhg to decide what to do with his time and money then, he can reap the benefits now. From the sounds of it, someone knows an illegal alien who seems to be doing better than this guy, whats up with that. Is that a problem with this country, or that guy?
