As for the Don King statement – (Tung was planted firmly in cheek.) but as for me – I recently had the displeasure of being incarcerated in the county clink for a bit, but not for nonpayment of child support. I simply refused to attend a drug rehab program. I left it to the courts to prove I did indeed have a drug problem and after a clean UA and hair follicle test, (taken that very day) I was thrown in county for 190 days. 10 days for every session I WOULD miss. My choice – my problem. But it did offer me the opportunity to refute the false allegations made by my ex in-laws and get my ex tested once again. She failed and now my children are safe and sound once again…

But for how long this time? This has been going on for almost 7 years. I’ve been an NCP, a CP. Had every county and state institution on my doorstep, lost numerous jobs because of seemingly endless court visits and now an ex inmate – all allegations refuted.

I can somewhat identify with this person – how long before I just snap and say no more? When will I just roll over and die. Believe me, it has crossed my mind a time or two.

Im 41 and feel 70. My ex is 39 and looks 70 due to her meth habit and the State is still trying to get her reunited with her children. Treatment, financial help, legal aide but the Texas AG will not make her pay one red cent in child support in all the years I have had custody.

I could be bitter – but I think my life will soon be over anyway (not by my own hand – calm down soft hearts) but by the toll alone. I’m going to take it easy, regroup rebuild my defenses.

I’m here to reintegrate into CR after about two years, I think – a new start.

So hello all.
