My son had come over to my apartment very frustrated with his mom (my wife) last night because she told him now that he is working he can pay for his own food. I already pay her child support. My wife and daughter eat the the craig meals and he eats top ramon. So when he had come over last night, he said that mom was sending me to the store to get cat and dog food, but could not afford anything else. I gave my son (age 16) $20.00 to buy food for himself. That if next time he needs something and mom says no, just come ask me and do not give your mom a hard time about it.He was so hurt that the animals were moe important than he is. Please pray that I can set good example for my son and not get angry ay my wife. This is truely getting so hard.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Supporting your own son.

I think that is illegal for your wife to be charging your son for food and not supporting him. You should look into having him come live with you and also contact child protective services because she should not be watching her child walk around hungry while feeling bad that the animals are more important... I am so sad for your situation. I will pray for your family.

To set a good example you might have to look at your ex as an enemy who is bad for your kids. Its a tough old world...

Since the last conversation with my wife she now takes care of the needs that my son needs. He really feels casted out from her and my wife seems to always put my daughter first.My son is moving in with by the end of this week. I am helping my wife move on Friday to put her stuff in storeage. When I was over going through the house hold items I had some emotional times when going through them. I just removed myself from where they were to just cry out the emotions. It seemed to help. Please pray that I can just through this on friday when I am helping her move that I can control this and it really does not happen in front of my daughter. I am so torn up inside and it makes it really difficult to deal with this situation.

I'm sorry. I've prayed for your family. Is your son moving in with you? I guess it's too much temptation for your wife to make meals that she can't eat right now, but I can see how your son would feel uncared for. I can't imagine just telling my kids to fend for themselves, but at the same time my 15 yr old should start helping with some of the cooking. Do they eat meals together? Sometimes I think just being together is more important than what you're eating.

Try to be your own counselor on this. Close your eyes and see yourself in your situation from an objective view, as if you were looking at someone else in the situation you are in. Then objectively evaluate the situation and come up with some advice for the young man. Then see if its useful to your situation.

My son now lives with me so there is no more problems with no getting food to eat. Since then my son even says that he eats more meaty meals with me, then he does his mom.
When I asked my daughter(13) if she wanted some of the stir fry that I was making. She said sure, but my wifes response was what am I chopped liver. So I even made her so to. I am really try to be as nice as possible.
My wife and daughter have moved in with another family and today she invited just invited my son over for dinner. I will just suck it up and get over it like I usually do.

When I was 15 I went to live with my father while my 2 younger sisters stayed with my mother. My sisters are broke unwed mothers and I pay lots of taxes even though I'm married with 7 children. For whatever that's worth.

Now there were only 5 tickets left for my son to give to his friends. I forget who is graduating ? Then my wife does not understand why he wants nothing to do with her.
