On another note

even though we had a fab weekend I also discovered that once again the ex-husband was not making good on his CSA payments. I checked my bank account and found out that he has not paid for 4 months! He's already in arrears by £2000, what the heck is he playing at. Does this man (is he fit to be called a man?) think he is doing, is he doing this to piss me off? Does he realise that this money goes towards Phoebe future eduction and life? She doesn't get much only £100 per month and I know of people who are paying at least 4 times that amount. Yet for some reason he feels he is justified in buying himself a motorbike instead of helping his own daughter. He is truly selfish, as he doesn't realise it is Drew and me who look after her, feed her, clothe her, take care of her education, pay for her pursuits like guitar lessons, Brownies and Tae Kwon Do. Encourage her to follow her desires. Nurture and cherish her. Get up at 4 am to hold her hand whilst she is being sick, de-louse her (alot!), take her to football and watch her play. And most of all love her for who she is whilst trying to ensure she grows up with a good set of morals and respect for not only others but herself.

It doesn't take much to father a child. It takes a lot to be a parent.
