I just talked to Beefcake. He is doing great. He just saw the eye specialist. He had scratches on his cornea last night but they have already healed. He is still very badly bruised but will be just fine.
Matt & Michelle deserve eachother. They are both using eachother for their personal gain. Matt has nowhere to go; she wants him to watch the baby while she works. He has the benefit of some nookie when he wants it; she has the benefit of telling him exactly what he can and cannot do. I picked up Tink from there on Monday. Michelle was at work. He still had Beefcake & The Kidd. I came in for about 10 minutes (to try to get kisses from the baby) and then Matt took a look at my car for me. When J picked up the boys the next day, she told me that the kids told her...that Matt told them...not to tell Michelle that I had been in the house while she was gone.
Yeah, because I was going to pull him into the bedroom while HIS FOUR KIDS and her 20 year old son were in the house, and try to seduce him.
She is SO insecure, and is controlling because of it. When he left her a couple weeks ago, he came to me, used my van to get most of his stuff to storage. Then he asked me for a ride to his mom's so he could use his late father's truck to get his TV out of there. So he took the truck to her place, and before he could even get the TV in there, she convinced him to stay with sob stories of how he was abandoning her and abandoning their son (and God knows what else). So her older son followed him back to his mother's so he could drop off the truck, then brought him back to her.
Where he is (happily?) imprisoned with no car (and no cajones).
SHE WOULD NOT LET HIM TAKE HER CAR TO SEE HIS SON LAST NIGHT. And he
knew that he could have come to me and I would have either let him use my van (or go with him!) but he further knew that if he walked out of that house, she would have thrown a fit.
He told me the other day that his mom is helping him buy a car, but that she does not know it. He says that he is biding his time for about another month until he has saved up enough money to get out of there. (Which of course means no child support) He says he is not sure where he will go.
I know him. I would bet a million dollars that he has another chick lined up already. If that is the case, he will not see ANY of his kids.
Sorry to carry on like this. I don't know which one of them is more pathetic, her for being such a (fill in the blank) or him for allowing it! He has let her come between him and his kids, and while he may be a lot of things, never before have his kids taken a back seat.
Thank you all again for your prayers.
