    If he's never going to pay it, why keep agonizing over it?  Maybe avoid the negative for now, Min.  Don't keep pulling it into your lap.

    My mom mentioned it when I spoke to her the other day. I didn't ask for the information. She knows I don't want to hear about him. But, she'd never mention this to Littlest MinM and Middle MinM can't deal with it. She was father's fav.

    Is she still trying to collect or does she keep track just for fun?  I don't think I ever heard the story about your dad.  Does anyone know where he is?

    She keeps track so when anyone mentions how much money they are owed, she can one up them in the assy ex/back due child support dept. It is some sort of weird winning for her.

    She tried to collect for years and years and at first, he would just go to jail instead of paying. Then, he would quit any job once my mom tracked him down and strarted garnishing his wages. Finally he settled into a life where he worked jobs that would pay him under the tables (where my mom couldn't garnish his wages).

    His dad died last year. His sister contacted my mom then. I don't know if anyone knows where he is. I don't really care. Nico is right, he is never going to pay and I am not interested in someone who actively avoided his parental obligations (you know, like make sure me and my sisters had food and other such luxuries).

    When we cleaned out my mom's office during my last visit, she got rid of all of the paperwork related to this. She said it was bad energy to have it around. However, if she ocntinues to bring it, the bad energy is still around, IMO. I wish she wouldn't tell me these things, because it is just upsetting. However, I don't feel like I can tell my mom anything right now about what *I* want. It is all about her now.
