My divorce was not endless days in court, it was one. I worked full time and managed to read over the documents and decide when something was fair, or not. Guys can't just go bury their heads in the sand. Why were you paying for her attorney's fees? That's ridiculous! I paid for it all, but then I'm ridiculous.

When you realize you're dealing with someone who is having problems, you can't afford to lay down on the job. It was hard. He was having many, many problems, but I knew I didn't want my son to grow up without a father, warts and all. Child support didn't always come, and I had to freeze bank accounts and register with the Division of Child Support Enforcement. Had to get his attention a couple of times, and he has been out of the stockbrokering biz for a year now and working two part-time jobs to make ends meet.

I let him move in to the home I bought on my own after the divorce 9 months ago so he could keep body and soul together AND MAKE HIS SUPPORT PAYMENTS to our son. Our son is what's important here. I got another mouth to feed in him and another in his adorable 65-lb. Irish Setter. If someone had told me 35 years ago, I'd be living in sin, I'd have thought they were on the fifth ring of Saturn. Adults make good decisions for their children, and when one falls and can't, the other must. Son is doing well, Dad is on the mend, I hope, and me, well, you do what's right.

Ah, the Marie Antoinette gambit!
