    I hate to sound like a whinger, but right now, I'm scared of him. And I know I should suck money out of him but I really don't want to deal with him in any way. I rather find a guy who's willing to take me and my child on as a pair than someone who's going to throw it back in my face. Because without him physically hurting me, sadly, he still has his rights and someday he'll turn around and claim them. By putting Father Unknown on birth certificate, he has to prove that he's the father by paying for a paternity test and I've never denied him as a father, well, to his face at least, but he doesn't believe me which goes onto another subject.

    I may want to add he's a jealous little fuck as well. He 'caught me with another guy' the other day and I got told that today, despite the fact that guy was my best friend Kasey, who's a female..

    I've been told by my mother that it's better to cut him out of my life (which I have done so as of today officially) and it's not worth having stuff thrown back in my face (clear example, he offered to pay for my birth certificate, so he did that and I offered to pay him back, he refused. Turned around and said to me yesterday that he wanted his money back....) To me right now, he's doesn't deserve the social status of a father. He's just a donor. But I'm moving out of this dump of a town soon and moving back to Sydney.

    Whether you like him or not, he's the father of the child and has every right to see it. I'm not sure what the law is down there, but here, he could take you to court and sue for visitation rights, no paternity test needed, because you would likely be asked under oath if he's the father, and lying and saying you don't know is a felony.

    As far as just paying child support, he wouldn't be in your life. I know that in New York, money is automatically deducted from each pay check and paid electronically to the deserving party. It's nothing he could hold over your head either (especially if you don't speak to him) and a court order is a court order. He can whine about it all he wants, it won't make a difference.

    Yeah, Sarah, I'm gunna have to say that I agree with Robert, Todd, Derek and Amanda. I can completely understand that you're afraid of him and what he might do to you and the baby physically if he shoves you or something, but if you do move away like you want to, then you'll have distance. Plus, didn't you say that you have a restraining order against him? Anyway, as Todd said, putting father unknown on the birth cert could really give you some legal issues down the line. As far as child support goes, it wouldn't be like he'd be coming to your house every week to give you some money...it would be an automatic transaction, like Amanda said, and he could bitch and moan all he wants but it won't make a difference.
    I know I just basically restated what everyone else said, I just didn't want to say anything at first, ha.
    You really should try to reconsider things, Sarah. I know it's hard to keep in contact with him, because he sounds like a real jerk, but getting just that little bit of extra money from him would benefit both you and your child.


    Marj: Oh really? Do tell, ma petite.

    So this officially becoming the worst week ever. I almost wonder if I was meant to take vacation last week, so it could soften the blow from how horrible this week has been.

    Monday wasn't so bad...but on Tuesday I wake up at 9am. My entire family is excited because we gained a new estate for our antique business. This person lived down near Valley Forge and had an antique carousel horse (selling online for 2-3k), two vintage church lights (worth 2,800 for the pair) and old furniture from the 1950's that sold for 5,400 back then but would likely bring 2k now...and finally a vintage santa worth about 500. So all in all, possibly about 5-7k for everything. Fantastic right? Yeah we thought so...until we headed home. As me and my mom were driving down the interstate, the back tire (which turns out to be a retread) shredded to bits and sent us flying off the road. Luckily (by an act of god/luck perhaps?) we broke down right at a shoulder which was a 'truck rest' so we went right out of harms way.

    Normally we'd just replace the tire. Well turns out (since this wasn't our truck..but a lender) that there was no spare tire, no tire jack and no tool to remove the tire. Because of this something that could've taken maybe 30 mins to resolve tops, turned into an all day even that required us to travel all around creation to get a new tire/tools (and logging enough miles to go to North Carolina had we just driven straight) and costing us a ton of cash.

    Then we find out the doctor's test for my grandma revealed a spot on her lung. This happens a lot and is usually just a shadow....but there's always that chance it could be the real deal this time around.

    All this...and the weeks not even over yet. My god, I hope we do well on Sunday with those consignments and my grandma's DR appt today yields good news.

    :hug: Man, I'm sorry to hear about all this, hon. Can't you do something regarding the company you rented the truck from? You would think they would have to check tires every so often or something...that's ridiculous. You guys were extremely lucky that you didn't get into a serious accident, and if you had it would have been purely the company's fault for not maintaining the vehicles that they rent out.
    As for your grandmother, I wish the best for her. Let's just hope that it's a shadow. <3

    It wasn't rented from a company it was lent to us by a relative. Sorry, should've clarified.

    Ohhh, okay. Get your relative to pay for stuff since he lent you a car with shitty tires.

    I've come to realize that I have a procrastination problem. There are things that I know I should do or that I want to do but I lack the determination to actually do them even though I know I should. It's like I know I'd be better off to just do it but then there's this mental road block that makes me not want to even try. These things would have the potential to raise my standards of living somewhat but still I idle. I think I've become paralyzed from the fear of failure. It really bothers me that while there are others who have much bigger problems than I do and that they face them and that I myself am afraid to even attempt to do anything about it.

    Recently I was house sitting for my sister because for some reason she's afraid some one will take things from her house, anyway she's in the process of moving and while I am there, there is nothing to do but to watch a TV, read, think and sleep. I've been thinking too much I think because I keep getting this idea into my head that I'd be better off if I weren't alive. That I in fact don't want to be alive and find myself wishing I weren't. That alone is a scary thought, but then I find myself thinking of ways to actually fulfill that desire, or un-desire. What's more scary than that still, is that this procrastination business. I find it quite sad that even doing the one thing that will make everything else irrelevant is trapped inside the web of things I procrastinate on. In the end, I find myself wondering if it really matters. It scares me.

    And then my mind wanders back again to all the people who actually have real problems and someway I want to help the people who have them when I can't even help myself. I'm quite pathetic I think.

    Yeah I guess you guys are right in the long run....

    I know if he wants visitation rights we'll have to go through court because right now we can't agree on anything at the moment and first all, he must legally have proof that he is the father by paying for a paternity test. Which I'm more than happy for him to do at any time. I guess I won't have to see him as well.

    He's officially left me alone for good now...no harrassing voicemails, no harrassing phone calls, no harrassing text messages, saying I can go to hell dumb slut etc etc. I told him I was moving back to Sydney and if he dared to track me down before the baby's born, I would call the cops and consider him trespassing on private property.

    I hate sticky situations.

    p.s. I dropped the restraining order because I didn't want to see him in court.

    I don't think that's a good idea...if SHE'S avoiding you, Harlz, you shouldn't put yourself out there like that, I don't think. You need to wait for her to come to you, to show that she cares. Even if you do go in to kiss her, you might feel temporarily better but then you'll think about it, and she didn't kiss you, you kissed her.

    It's up to you. But I know that whenever for instance, Josh doesn't call me for a while and I try calling him but he doesn't answer, I give up, and I wait for him to come to me, so it doesn't seem like I'm always inferior to him, crawling back to him. Does that make sense?

    TRUFAX. Hey, Jesse, at least you're not alone in being so fail. It is quite possible that I fail at life completely. Via procrastination, no less. I feel quite lame about it.

    -

    Arlene. I do the same thing with friends, actually. I used to be the one who was constantly calling and asking, "What did I do wrong?" and in some cases, yeah, if they're good friends then that's okay, but most of the time I regretted it afterwards, because I came off rather desperate.

    Yeah I know. I'm not going to get invovled in any of that. Thanks :)

    I'm sure you don't fail at life at all so there's no reason to feel lame.
    Procrastination is a bitch though. :lol:
