To start with, I would have gone after alimony and child support I was legally entitled to instead of being "nice". I would have sued the pants off that asshole who thought that just because I was a "single mom", that I would be grateful for the offer of a $100 if I sucked his dick. sorry to be so blunt And I would have gone on "welfare" instead of trying to do what was in the "best interests" of our children.
but the one thing I would never have changed...was that I did everything I could to make sure that our children continued to love their father.
