ok my friends . . .
little background . . .
my son's father never took it upon himself to help raise our son, especially in the last 8 years. i moved out of state, but always made him aware of school vacations and functions. he didn't even come to his high school graduation OR bother to help with his college expenses. Jon was a wonderful kid and becoming a great young man - without the help of his father! so now that i've lost him, his dad offered "help" with anything i needed - yeah, right! i knew better than to expect anything, but whatever ya know. i don't fight with the guy and i gave up on asking him to help do anything for Jon many, many years back (when i couldn't get him to pay $30 for half of a sports physical 16 years ago!).
so anyway . . . tonight i find out that this jerk was given approx $1500 to send to me to help with any expenses - back in April! he claims he hasn't been given anything yet and he knows that the money is supposed to go towards a memorial that i want to have erected.
so i'm having a hard time with this . . . why can't this complete idiot do one decent thing for our son???
i'm totally pissed and disappointed.
i'm sorry to air laundry, but i felt the need to vent . . . thank you for "listening".
