The skids were with us Christmas morning and they opened presents and it was wonderful. Then we had to take them to the BM's house. We met up with some friends and found out that BM was scrounging around at all the local bars and receiving money from friends of ours for her kids for Christmas!!! She has everyone convinced that she is hard up for money. My good old friend "Pete" told me he gave her money last Wednesday for her kids for Christmas and I let him know that she was at the bar ALL weekend and she was partying it up pretty good and he's convinvinced that he funded her drinking binge rather than helping her with Christmas. She also told them how she has all these "student loans" for nursing school and I let these people know that BM NEVER went to nursing school. She spent two years going to school three hours a day to become a medical assistant and that she has an entry level position in a Dr's office answering the phone and scheduling appointments. I can't believe the manipulative actions from a grown woman and it just makes me sad.

Not necessarily looking for feedback here, I personally just needed to vent.

Thanks All.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year.

Thanks from the Rusty Halo.
