I am weak. If it's not his ex, it's mine. I had promised my hubby that we would keep the kids this weekend even though they are supposed to be at their dad's (girlfriends) house. You see, the problem is that every time that the kids come home from their visit with their dad, they are filthy dirty and sick. I had to take Monday off work this week because they couldn't go to school, and paid 28 bucks for medicine for them. Also, dad doesn't have a car, so we have to drive the kids back and forth which costs us at least $40 a month. I get nothing from him - no child support, no spousal, nothing. I said that this time I'd be strong and just say NO.

He called me last night COLLECT! Stupid me, I accepted (broke another promise to my hard working husband) just to tell him that I wasn't dropping off the kids this weekend and why.
I had expected him to swear and yell and tantrum and had planed on just hanging up when this happened, but..he surprised me. He talked so nice and respectful. He told me about his plans to get his life together and I just couldn't say no. SO...When hubby got home, I had to tell him that we had just paid for another collect call from daddy dearest and that I was going to drive them up to see him after work today.

Now I've upset the man I've got to please the man that I got rid of. What a horrible person I am. There didn't seem to be any right answer. Either way someone was going to be unhappy and I am stuck in the middle. Thank God my husband forgives me for my weaknesses. I wonder if I should contact Dr. Phil?
