I am a single Mother of 3. Two of my children are grown and married successfully living their lives. My youngest son is a senior in high school.
My 2 older childen have a father that pays $22.00 a month and will for the rest of his life. (Prison) He owes me $39,000+ in back child support. We used to call his child support the "Happy Meal Money" cause that is what I would buy my kids with $22.00.
My youngest sons father was ordered to pay $139.00 per month in 1990 + Medical insurance.
I am happy to announce the first payment arrived on October 10th of this year for $75.00.
I have never asked for an increase because if he could not pay the $139 why would he pay more? His bill is $19000+ in back child support.

Neither one of these "dad's" were involved with my children. My children are happy and well adjusted. I did the best that I could raising 3 kids on my own.

My son is graduating high school at the end of this school season. He thanks me not his "dad."
When my daughter got married, she thanked me, not her "dad."
When my middle son found out he was going to be a father, He called me, not "dad."
I never bad mouthed or stopped my kids from seeing the Absent parent. They were just never interested in seeing MY kids.

I get both Mother and Father's day celebrations with my kids.
Yes, it would have been easier for both my self and my children to have a little bit more monetary support.

I would have prefered to have a nurturing and loving relationship between my children and their father than any amount of money in the world. Since they choose otherwise, I will take the cash when it comes in.
This months total is $97.00! I am raking it in!



Child Support...The good, the bad, and the ugly!: click here to read the entire thread »

I really tried to not be offended by some of the responses because I believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I felt the need to respond because narrow mindedness and discrimination can be insulting to some.

I never make aplogizes for my size. I like who I am and I am happy how I look. Some men like me, some don't.
No big deal. I don't bother with the ones that don't.

Abusing my body is not the way I became a BBW. I eat small healthy meals, I rarely drink alcohol and have never taken drugs. I am active and productive.

When I was 26 years old, I was average weight. I became ill and found out I had cancer. Right after treatment, I had conjestive heart failure. I gained 120 lbs over night. I was on a ventaltor and almost died.
I am now cancer free and went through all the recommended medical treatments. My heart is healthier and I feel great.

My weight has gone down some but I will Never be "average" weight again.

I am happier now than I ever was being average!

My point is ASSUMING that weight is a "choice" OR THE RESULT OF ABUSING YOUR BODY, makes an ass out of you.

I hope my response does not offend others. This is Just my opinion......

1. When my son Christopher passed away from a congenital heart defect 10 years ago. The year following his death, I had given up on life and became kind of a walking dead. My other children pulled me out of the "zombie stage."
2. In December of 2005, my son Anthony (he was 16 at the time) was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari Malformation. "Chiari, is when the brain grows and the skull does not, so the the brain starts to decend into the vertebra. His brain began to compress his spinal cord. He went through a 5 1/2 hour brain surgery.
He is 18 now and a senior in high school.

Lack of SEX !!!: click here to read the entire thread »

So, I now have an official diagnosis! I can't believe I am saying this but going 3 1/2 years with out sex has caused some problems so I can't really be held acountable for my actions!


I know I can go out to a bar and pick up a booty call.
But I am looking for more than just sex. Love and passion and commitment is not what I am going to find in a bar. That why I came here to CSS.

Any suggestions?

I post poetry here, not for negative critical judgement but as an expression. I agree not everyone may like it , some may not understand it, in fact some may hate it. But to have rude and negative comments would offend me. This post is offending. If you don't like reading the poetry here, check out a critical POETRY site.
I am also a published poet. It does not make my work any better or worse than anyone else's.
Not sure if you were intending to offend others or just came across that way. Something to think about because:



Mean people suck!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

The most attractive people in the world may also be ugly on the inside. Never let someone who is ugly on the inside make you feel ugly on the outside.

Rude and insensitive people are also ugly on the inside.

Please don't this person or any one for that matter stop from loving yourself.

Take care!


Am I Ugly and worthless?: click here to read the entire thread »

I hate when we argue and you always want to win
I want you to know, my patience is wearing thin
I love you son and I think you are the greatest
We have been here before, this is just the latest
You have to respect me, I will take no less
I really don't enjoy this, I must confess
Sometimes in life we must do what we must
You can always depend on me, I am the one you can trust
You may not like my words or the things I might ask
But believe me son, I have a reasons for every task
I won't explain to you right now because you would not understand
I promise it will come together when you become a man
I give you you're space, freedom and room to make mistakes
Sometimes I have to stop you and put on the brakes
I don't always know the right words and I may say things you don't like
I am far from perfect, but you can't win every fight
Sometimes I have to pick from which battles to loose
But I have to be the only one to 'choose'
I have raised two before you and I learned my lessons well
They turned out very good even though they put me through hell
You may think I am hard on you and maybe I am
But being a teenager is just a preliminary exam
The final test will come when you're out on your own
I am trying to prepare you for when you are alone
One day I will be gone and you should be able to deal with strife
All though I wish I could be there for every minute of your life
I love you son, with all of my heart
But being a parent does not come with a flow chart
So give me a break kid, at least once in awhile
Now go do the dishes right now, and son try to smile!


The Dishes: click here to read the entire thread »

Locked in the dark, she starts shiver
When he yells and screams, she just quivers
The little girl hides deep inside
the woman standing there
He promised to love her, he promised to care
His friends and family knew, they were aware
Watching the clock, soon he would walk in
Never knowing what will bring the evil from him
Dinner was ready and smelled so right
Somehow she knew it was not her night
She placed it close in her pocket just in case
He came in the room and went right for her face
She no longer pleaded, no longer begged for it to stop
She was down on the floor and he was on top
The baby was crying and world was going black
When he turned to look, she pushed it in his back
The knock on the door came but it was too late
Going from one prison to another was now her fate
The neighbors said "we didn't want to get involved"
Like somehow they could all be absolved
She still watches the clock, her death awaits
Both her and the baby girl now belong to the state

And if you hear her screaming please don't hesitate............

I think I would keep my hearing. Because I could always use my imagination to see, touch, smell or taste. Without communication or music I would go crazy!

Take a small regular tea bag and snip the top off, remove some of the tea from inside. Roll the tea bag up into a little pouch. Stick the tea bag in between your tooth and gums. Try not to swallow the tea juice. Leave the bag in until you are no longer hurting. You can replace the bag as needed. May sound weird but it does work!
