The Gollin Boys

A glimpse into my crazy head. Mostly this is about my boys, but venting about everyday events and the great things about being a professional career woman and mother while trying to successfully balance having it all. lol

So much change all at once

Well, life has turned a bit on it's head over the last two weeks for me and my beautiful son. I had finally sat myself down to write a letter to the state attorney to ask him to get my case going through the court because this no child support thing is starting to take a toll on me. I went to check my mail and put the letter to the attorney in the drop box, thank goodness I checked the mail first. There it was the thick packet that was from the same attorney that I was just sending a letter to. I told myself this only tells me they were once again unable to serve Connor's father the Summons to appear or respond to the Petition for Paternity. But I was so off the mark that I almost fell over when I opened the packet. Slowly unfolded the massively thick paperwork and my mouth nearly hit the ground. It took a few times reading the black typed letters to really sink in what it was saying...Mack never responded to the summons therefore defaulting and agreeing with the court's findings of him being Connor's father. The order also included the beginning of child support and that they found him to Owe the state $1300 and me $1500. So I found out that once the findings are entered into the Kansas Child Support Payment Center his credit report will immediatily show that he is in default of a court order. He can't lease an apartment or get a loan.
So the other letter I wrote after the attoney's letter that was never mail was a letter short and sweet to Mack's Parents. It included a recent picture of Connor and told them that he is their grandson and they are welcome to meet him anytime. Then this week I received a call from Mack Senior asking to meet Connor and me. Then the same day I got a call from Mack Jr.'s (Connor's dad) girlfriend asking me to call her back. Long story short Mack is claiming he only just found out about Connor last week when in fact he knew from the same day I was pregnent. Girlfriend and Mom want a DNA test which I will not pay for in anyway because the chance to take one was given and Mack turned it down!
He is the only one now that hasn't meet his son when even his own parents have. I just don't understand that man and why he let this stay a secrect for so long and hurt those he loves like this. HIs parents have missed two and a half years of their only grandson's life for what reason other than their son was too pussy to stand up and take responsiblity for his actions. And now he is trying to make me a liar when it is him.
I am emotionally drained...I knew from the beginning I was going to have to explain to Connor Mason why his father wasn't around and I have been getting use to the idea of "daddy" never being around but now that might now be the fact after all. I am happy for Connor but Scared for him at the same time because I don't know how Mack will be toward him now.
Well I am actually going out tonight and have to get into the shower and get ready to go...Maybe I will post a picture of me up here all made up ready to go out :)
