It's might be a GOOD thing that I decided not to fly out...
14 years ago
COMMISSIONS: OPEN!
Because if I did, I might have had to smack a bitch.
So, here's the sordid tale.
My brother married a woman he met online. No, not like that, he discovered her on a tattoo forum that he got on while he was over at our house, and realized that she actually lived in Denver, pretty close to where he lived. A couple of years later, they got married. A few months before the wedding, brother had some small issues with her snooping in his cell phone, and getting edgy about some texts from an ex girlfriend that he was still friends with. They went to some premarital counseling, and were able to work it out. After the marriage, things didn't.... really improve much.
My brothers wife had some paranoia issues, and they went to newlywed counseling, and again, for a while, things got better. Cue her getting pregnant. Nine months later, my beautiful nephew was born. He is the best baby, and growing into the best infant.
A few months later, her issues resurface. She's accusing my brother of cheating. He's not. She is.
They get a divorce, and end up with joint custody of the child. After a few shorts months, she kicks more shit, and somehow ended up with 50% custody, and my brother ends up paying her for child support, which she doesn't need. Period.
She lives at home with her parents. She has a car, that her parents pay for. She has insurance, that her parents pay for. She's going to school, that her parents pay for.
She moved out of the apartment that she was living in with my brother, leaving him in need of a roommate, because he could not afford the place on just his salary. He had a car, which he shortly could not afford to pay for himself, because he's paying child support. Now he doesn't drive it, because (while my parents were paying for the car) he could no longer even afford the insurance on it. (He had lost his job due to the economy, and stupid shit, that I suspect was started by the ex wife) After the ex wife moved out, she told the apartment complex to stop the facilities, because she wasn't going to be living there anymore. But my brother STILL WAS. He had to wait almost a week to get his water, gas, and power turned back on.
Due to problems with HIS ex wife and son, my brother's roommate is forced to move out, and my brother is unable to find a replacement. He moves in with a friend who has a small place. He finds two new jobs that are barely keeping him afloat. We Skype with him almost every week, from his net book, which only has internet because his phone can provide a hotspot. He is the best father.
Now, today, my brother received an email from her lawyer.
She is filing for full custody.
She is claiming that he is an unfit father. That she lets his brother, a know alcoholic, watch his son. That he didn't have power while he was watching him. (which would have been all her fault, but he didn't even HAVE him while he didn't have power) That he SELLS DRUGS. That he is refusing to take a parenting class that the judge asked him to take during the previous trial. (he was in a car accident on the way to the previous class and had yet to take the rescedualed class.) None of this is true.
My sister is moving out there to live with him at the end of the month. He and the friend he is living with are looking for a house for the four of them to live in.
This is Insanity. I really want to smack a bitch. Cue vent art.

I hope for your brother and your family's sake that things turn out for the good.
