5 years ago? REALLY?

INCOMING EMAIL FROM THE EX 10:50am- She said she was trying to dispute a credit card charge that she made in 2000, yes, 2000 with a VISA number from a bank and asked if he would “by chance” have records of this number. She said she “may have used it to buy airline tickets.?”

Keith wrote her back almost an hour later and told her that EVERYTHING is packed away and NO ONE here will for it, that we don’t have the time or inclination to help her lookup HER credit card number and wished her luck.

Couldn’t Be Served

Between 9/9/05 and 9/15/05, due diligence was attempted to no avail.

On 9/10/05- tv on, truck in doorway, no response at door.

9/11/05-09:40 a.m.- No response

9/11/05-03:30 p.m.- Sleeping per female occupant, won’t wake him, slammed door.

9/12/05-07:30 a.m.- No response, no truck.

9/15/05- 08:08 p.m.- No response

Can you imagine? He’s SLEEPING and “female occupant won’t wake him”?

Thanks for being supportive with my graduation unlike our dad! Well I hope you have a safe summer vacation and always stay out of trouble. Be good for your mom and your dad! Love L” This pissed me off.

At 3:55 pm, I sent L an email. I wrote, “E, Just got an EOB from Kaiser for your (xxx) from February 9th, 2005. The check will be forwarded to you. Be on the look out for it.

DO NOT EVER write Thomas and spread YOUR ill/feelings/ill will for “HIS DAD” ( your words in your thank you card to him) again. A simple thank you would have sufficed. Had it not been for “HIS DAD’s” MONEY, you would not have gotten anything for graduation. “HIS dad” was supportive of your graduation. Problem is, YOU failed to invite him to your graduation and YOU failed to acknowledge the money he sent in support of your Senior Frolic. He probably would have done a lot more had you been a little bit kinder…. Keith’s loving wife, Pat”

Filed Papers

Taking Anthony BACK to court. Filed a Notice of Continuance of Hearing today, because I thought I was taking him back to Norwalk Superior, since he’s no longer with the DA, but NOPE, have to go back to L.A.

I’m requesting he add our daughter to his life insurance policy through his employer.

That he is to give me notice within 24 hours of any changes in employment, or benefits coverage of either medical, dental, vision, orthodontics and psychological.

Lastly, because he has a 10 year history of failing to reimburse me for any and all medical and dental expenses, in a timely manner, (30 days after sending in request) that he be ordered to pay an additional $25 per month toward any future medical expenses.

The Kids

So, both kids are now 18+. The ex emailed Keith 8/30/05 at 8:12am, giving him an update on the kids, and asking for money for them. Well, she said, “both of them can use money to help with college expenses or gift cards to Walmart.”

Keith responded at 8:28 am and 8:49am and told her “thanks for the info, It would have been great to see (son) on his way through. again, thanks for the info, I appreciate it, but the kids are 18 and older. If they want something from me, they need to be the one’s to ask. If they don’t want me to know what is going on with them or if they don’t want to ask me for anything, that is their choice. Bye.”

She told him on this morning, 9/1/05 at 8:26am, that he has to call their son himself- call both of them, and at 8:29am that it was “too bad you can’t pick up a telephone and call. What is the problem with their Dad and only their Dad calling them. I have told you over and over again if you called them everyday for a month you would fix these relationships but you can find the time or the effort. You are the parent- 18 and older they still do not want emails, letters and other forms of communication. They want to speak to you on the phone and yet you can’t do that. Don’t help unless they ask-easy cop out for you. I agree and they will never ask you for anything to many strings attached to that, too many demands to be met in order to receive. It is ok that you are not there or them, they are used to it by now.”

Keith told her he didn’t remember mentioning their daughter in his email. He was talking about their son, that he can’t call him when he doesn’t know his number. (9:06am) At 9:14am, Keith asked his ex if she feels better now, after that tirade. He told her he didn’t have a problem, that apparently she did though. He asked, “If it doesn’t the kids that we don’t talk, why does it bother you so much? (son) gave me his message loud and clear last year when I, me, his dad, his one and only dad, sent him a birthday card and he refused it, twice. Guess he didn’t need the money then. (Daughter) told me as late as March this year to stay out of her life (except I did send (daughter) birthday gifts, holiday gifts). She told me the same thing in December 2003. IF you agree, and they will never ask me for anything, and it’s ok that I have not been there for them, according to you three, then WHY do you keep harping? You need help (ex wife’s name). The only one I hear from is you, not them. The kids have voices, and they have spoken, loud and clear. Keith”

Closed

I closed the child support case with the DA. HOPEFULLY Anthony keeps his word to pay like he’s supposed to. I received a letter confirming this and the letter stated that I may reapply for child support services at anytime by contacting their office.

College Help

Keith emailed his daughter at 8:56pm, telling her that if she wanted him to help her in some way, to let him know.

He wanted to hear from HER, not her mother. He didn’t say that in this email, LOL, but he feels there is no reason why his daughter can’t contact him herself. She’s old enough, an “adult” now.

Sarah’s Birthday

I sent an email out to family and friends inviting them to Sarah’s birthday party on the 6th of August. Wrote what the menu would be, there would be a jumper, and told them the party starts at 11am.

I sent this email to Keith, who sent it to a friend of his he knew from high school, he sent it to his brother and sister in law, his niece and his oldest daughter.

Today

Keith sent his oldest daughter an email at 2216, wishing her a happy birthday, and that he hoped she had a nice day.

EOB SENT and DELIVERED

On June 28th, 2005, I sent my stepdaughter the EOB and check from our insurance company for her reimbursement. I also included the email I sent her on June 27th, and a copy of her writing in the card she sent my son, her half brother. I knew her mother would probably be privy to this piece of mail. This piece of mail I sent her, was delivered today to their PO Box, at 7:58am.
