[QUOTE="paperplate, post: 577605, member: 15831"] Thanks everyone. My mother brought me money for a phone. Bless that woman. She just keeps saying "STICK TO YOUR GUNS!". And I am. I have no doubts. I'm a little nervous about when it sinks in for him. Hopefully he'll just leave us alone. But I'm no idiot. I know his temper. My parents have been coming by daily, helping out, bringing money, hugs and taking the kids for little day trips or sleepovers, so I can do what I need to do. As I said, I don't want them to see the hard part. In our neighborhood certain things stand out. It's mainly middle to upper class kids and they JUDGE EVERYTHING!
