Children you may or may not have been blessed with
Let me tell you a story that in some ways is scary, relieving and to some points sad. I was at work Monday and Rene' received a court order in the mail from the state of Oklahoma, stating that I have a court date for over $12,000 in arrears of child support! Now never really being a ladies man, but I did drink a lot years ago, I really could not think of anyone who I may have had "sexual relations with." Now let's cut to my wife Rene', she calls me and I can hear the stress in her voice, but she is not mad, maybe a little scared also, because as all Americans we are feeling the financial pinch to. She tried to call, but they would not talk to her, I was busy at work, but hearing her voice meant that I needed to call now and get to the bottom of this. I called and the have a call center answer phones and you can not get to a case worker, they have 3 working days to call you back, so again still at square one. So fast forward to yesterday, my case worker finally called me and as soon as I confirmed my SS number all was fine. Well yes a sense of relief came over me, but then I got to thinking here is another child without a biological father to take them to ballgames or dance recitals. I will never say I am a great father but I do try, and it is very sad that the child in Oklahoma will never have his or her dad try. They got my name, which is not to common, ha ha, from Travelers Insurance, which is my workers Comp company at work. Why they have the right to even release my name is not known at this time, but I will find out. So if you have experienced anything along these lines, please tell me?
