The First Day I Found Out About Divorce |
The last time I saw you was on a Friday, May 30th at about 7:00 in the morning. I had no clue as to what the day had in store for me. At the time you're mom and I were having some problems talking, but I was trying to make things better by sitting down and trying to talk with her. The day before she had called me from work and asked for the $950 that I had from selling the old Plymouth Sunbird. I asked her why she couldn't ask for money at home instead of waiting to get to work and call. We argued a little, but it wasn't anything bad, and I thought things would be talked about when she got home. She didn't bring it up that evening, and little did I know that this might have been what made her file for divorce. She needed more money! About 6:00 I started to worry that you guys weren't home yet. At about 7:00 an accident was reported nearby and I drove over there to see what happened. It wasn't you guys so I went back home. I called your moms work a few more times and more and more time went by. I really started to get worried that something happened. I checked with the sheriffs office and they had no report of your moms car being in an accident. At 10:00 the doorbell rang and there was a guy standing outside. The first thing I thought was that you guys were in a serious accident or were dead. I was wrong. He gave me the divorce papers. What a shock for me. I will have a copy of the papers for you to read someday. Some things I would like to note on them:
Your mom said that we weren't living as a married couple since March. The night before the papers were served, May 30, we all had dinner together and life seemed normal. I think she said this to make the divorce sound more important.
If you look at the papers, they are all money stuff. All she wants is money. There is no talk of you until the end of the divorce papers. Does this show you that she was thinking about what was best for you? All she wanted was a way out of her money problems. She cares more about money than she cares about having a family. That is sad because we had a great life for 10 years. And she threw it all away over money.
She got a lot of bad advice from some of her friends and that lawyer she hired. They told her that this would end with her getting what she wanted, money and control over her. They are/were wrong. Your mom would destroy the rest of her life and mine forever. She has hurt me bad, but in the end I will have the last word.
