QQuestions about marriage

As you read the following true events you may wonder as many other people have wondered, why did this boy marry this girl. Even after you ask yourself that question, you as many others have done, will begin to ask yourself why did he stay married to her. I'm not certain what the answer to either of those questions are, I'll probably never know. I felt like I had found someone who might eventually be able to help me back.

In the beginning, as Linda and I were dating, she would bring little children over to visit and sometimes spend the night with us.

She had told me that one of these little girls was her daughter. The little girl's name was Lupe. Linda kept telling me that Susie, her mother, had been trying to take Lupe away from her. She told me that her mother had told CPS (Child Protective Services) that she was not taking good care of her and that if I loved her I would hire a lawyer and help her to get custody of Lupe. Turns out that Lupe belonged to Linda's sister Nelda. Nelda had lots of kids and was letting Linda borrow some every now and then.

She (Belinda Mata [Possibly Garcia] and maybe a few other names), 11+ sisters, and their mother had a racquet of trafficking ([caught] arrested once for transporting) and marrying illegal aliens so that the illegal aliens could stay in the United States. They were charging $2k per head. They were also all on welfare and getting food stamps, but not reporting the income from transporting illegal aliens or their marriage racquet to the state.

About seven years after I married her she decided to tell me, because I needed to get a Top Secret clearance from the military. I explained to her that we were going to be investigated and she pulled out the marriage license from one of the marriages before the one to me, on 21Jun85. She told me about it, and said that she had never gotten any divorces. She also showed it to my dad. My dad is deceased, but he told my mom about it and as of when I asked her last (13Apr07) she remember him telling her about Linda's other marriages.

She probably didn't tell me everything but she did tell me what I've already told you in the preceding paragraphs.

I don’t know what she did with the license. I can’t remember the name of the guy, the county, or the date on the license. The date was before 21Jun85 and it was in Texas.

The attorney below told me that we are married illegally? This increases my number of questions. I think means that we are not really married. I think that she was breaking at least four laws (law against polygamy [felony], welfare fraud, income tax evasion, and immigration) that I know of, and I'm not certain of those or how many others. So, I'm not certain if a marriage performed while committing crimes against its sanctity would invalidate it or not. I'm not an attorney.

The attorney below says that she (Linda) can fix this by divorcing the other person she is married to. However, I don’t want that. Can I get our marriage annulled? Is that more trouble than it’s worth, is it expensive?

Also, if we we’re not married and I've been in the military and other federal organizations for at least 20 years, have I been defrauding the United States government?

I emailed this attorney back, called another, and explained that I moved out of my house about three months ago. I told him that it was because this woman is abusively manipulative. When we married she was 24 and I was 19 and she has been pushing me around every since. She has been stealing from me every since we got married. I've had to fight my way uphill, through the blinding snow, to get anything.

2. I stopped smoking (Twice - I was hit & killed by an Isuzu pickup truck while riding my bicycle and she gave me cigarettes so I had to stop all over again)

Her actual words were that she would divorce me, once we had adopted the children she started a new slogan that she would divorce me and take the children. That appears to have become her favorite thing to say because she knows that I don't believe in divorce. However, I supposed we are not really married.

This year (2006) she told me that if I didn’t give her all the money from our income tax returns (Federal & State) she would make the three girls that are left at home tell everyone (her [Linda’s] friends and their friends) that I wanted to have sex with them and had raped them. I had put the money ($2000.00) into a fire safe to be our family emergency money. I told her no. She had social services and the cops interview me. Then, while they had me outside and wouldn’t let me in the house she went into the safe and took all the money. So I left my house.

She has the house and car and I’m living with my mom. I served and retired from the military and civil service for this. I’ve served my country, and now I have no money and no home. I had to fight for the college degree that I have. She continually badgered me about how I was stealing from her and the children, taking food off the table, because I had to pay my tuition. She didn’t want me to join the military. She has fought (yelling and screaming at me in front of the kids – screaming that I’m not a man, calling me a woman, she makes all the girls call me she, her, and mommy, yells and screams at me in front of them that I’ve never bought them anything or done anything for them) me on everything that I’ve every tried or wanted to do.

She had sex with one of my mom’s friend’s son from where my mom worked, when we had been illegally married only three years. My mom had told me about it. My mom’s friend and her son told me about it. Then my illegal wife told me about it. I’ve never said anything to her about it.

She smokes ($150.00 / month), she drinks, she cusses a lot, she lies constantly and makes the girls lie (hits them with a wooden spoon and/or the metal end of fly swatters if they don’t do what she tells them to do), threatens the children, and takes money without asking - knowing that it was meant to serve a special purpose (Emergency money, kids bank accounts – I start the account and she takes them to the bank and makes them pull out their money and then she spends it).

I asked the children to do something for me once and she told them not to. I told them to do it anyway. She told them that I had leave for work and then it would be just them and her. Bottom line, they didn’t do what I told them to do, because they are so afraid of her. This happened more and more often until I just started not telling them to do anything. Then she would yell, cuss, and hit me for that too. To tell the truth I’m afraid of her also.

(Nov06) Our house (4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, CH&A, Brand new shingles on the roof, car port, one acre of land) was in both of our names, per my dying dad's request. She made me sell. Using the same approach that she used before, telling that she would call the cops and make up stories so that they would put me in jail. Furthermore, she told me that she had found a house (3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom) in Taylor, Texas where her sisters live. She said that the man who owned it told her that he would sell it to us for $10,000.00. After seeing the cops in my front yard the first time, I complied. I signed the papers and allowed the the house to be sold to the school next door. They paid us $21,000.00 for it.

Linda had taken Teresa & Laura and dropped them off with my mom in South Carolina.

(Dec06) We came back and moved in with Linda's sister Margie. Margie and Linda got along for about three weeks. Then Linda started telling me that Margie and Lorenzo (her illegal alien husband - whose employer ABC metal roofing helps him to find new social security numbers when they get advanced warning from the government that the one he is currently using has been found out) were slighting her. She said that they were ignoring her and putting things that she had taken out of the freezer to cook, back into the freezer. I talked to Margie and Lorenzo. They said that it wasn't true. I tried to get Linda to talk to them with me, but she refused and wouldn't talk to them anymore. She also said that Margie was treating Teresa, Laura, & Eva badly. She said that she would not let them change the channel. Linda wanted me to tell Margie to let the children change the channel to what they wanted to watch when Margie was already watching the TV. I told her that I wasn't going to do it and I didn't do it. She yelled and screamed a lot about it. However, I just didn't think that it was right. Margie is older than the children, and it's her house. Why should she have to change the channel on her television in her living room just because Eva, Teresa, & Laura walked in. I told Linda and the kids that that was very disrespectful. More yelling and screaming, in the car while riding home from Round Rock, Linda must always have her way.

Linda was also mad at Chulla, Margie and Lorenzo's 5 year old niece. She had started putting her fingers to her ears like horns and making a moo noise. I thought that it was cute. So, when she did that I would do it right back. I just thought that she was playing a game. Linda said that she was doing it because Lorenzo had told her to do it. She said that it meant that she was making a fool of me, that is; fooling around behind my back.

I spoke with Margie and Lorenzo about it, and they told me that he had done it jokingly because Linda was never at the house. He said that she was always going to dances and bingos and leaving me and the girls at the house. They told me that Linda told them that I was having sex with the girls. They said that they didn't see it. In truth, that's because I never had, wasn't now, and never would.

I told Linda what they said about the dances and bingos. I told her that she was spending all the money that we had to buy a house with. She was taking $100 here $300 there. I started telling her, we have this much left, we have that much left, we have this much left, keeping a running tally for her. Her bank statements came in, I showed her that she had spent $2,000.00 in January and $1,000.00 in February going to dances and bingos. I asked her to slow down, but she didn't care. She just yelled and screamed at me more. She threatened me more.

Margie and Lorenzo, regretfully, kicked us out. They told me that the landlord had seen too many cars at the house for too long of a time and that we should not have so many people there. I went out and applied for public housing. It took a few weeks but they found one for us. However, we had to have a place to live in the meantime.

We moved in with Virginia, another one of Linda's sisters. Virginia already lived in public housing. Virginia has gotten custody of five children from her son who was thrown in prison. So, public housing in Taylor, Texas moved her into a larger unit (Three bedrooms). Virginia's daughter, Monica, and her four children also live there. Monica works for her sister's husband (works for a contractor), under the table, when she doesn't have a hangover or isn't drunk. So she doesn't have to pay taxes or tell anyone that she is living in Taylor public housing and paying less than $50 / month rent. Monica has a paint stick she uses on all the children. She puts them to bed with GD this, MF that. I'm gonna' kill ya' if ya' don't go to sleep. They all sleep in the same room (boys and girls), in the same bed. She gets them up in the morning the same manner. Virginia curses also, but not as much as Monica. However, her outlook on life is rather interesting. She tells me that she is a whore and her mama (Susie) was whore and that all of her sisters are whores also.

Finally, we got a house (3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom) in public housing. Our rent was set at $18.00 / month. I bought a $31.00 DVD-ROM for our file server computer and Linda had a cow. She went beserk, yelling and screaming at me. I tried to ask her how she could be mad when we spend $150.00 / month on her cigarettes. I was also giving her $300.00 a week, for more than three months, to go bingos and dances with her sisters. She got madder and started yelling and screaming more. She loves to curse. She curses a lot, sometimes when she's not mad.

March 30th, Saturday, 2007, I picked up my Bible and a Haley's Bible Handbook, called Linda and the girls and started for the living room. I sat down on the floor, arranged the books and waiting for Teresa and Laura to be seated. They sat down but Linda was pacing and ranting. The time of day was well past noon, because Linda does not get up until after noon, plus her and the girls were out at her sister, Nelda's, house until 5:00 am. I told them that we were going to talk about JESUS' first miracle, turning water into wine. Linda was screaming about how she wanted money, she was tired of begging for money, I wasn't a man, I never did anything for them, I never gave them anything. She was yelling and screaming these things at me and cursing at me. I asked her to be quiet while I read the Bible. That didn't even faze her, she continued to yell, scream, and curse at me. I asked her to calm down and stop cursing. I started reading the Bible again. She started asking what I was talking to Eva about. I explained to her that I had given the Green car to Eva so that she would have a way to work. I had sold it to her for $1 plus LOVE. That made Linda furious. She said that she had wanted me to sell the car to Eva. I told her that I had wanted to give it to her as a graduation present. She got even madder and started yelling and screaming and calling me a pervert. She was yelling at me, that I only wanted to have sex with my daughters. She screamed at Teresa (16 years old) to open her legs and let me in there, so that I could have sex with her. She had started doing that a lot. She especially liked to do it when other people were around. I really believe that her primary purpose in life is to hurt me, and she knows that she can use the children to do that.

Linda gathered a posse of her sisters and nieces in the front yard of my house and started yelling and screaming that they were calling 911. I just couldn’t stay any longer. She had been telling me for months that, "I have a mouth and I know how to use it." Implying that she would be willing to lie again to extort money from me. I’ve been beat up enough and am not sure what to do. So, I just left.

I had started another bank account for Teresa and Laura. They had helped me to hand out flyers. I found out on the 13th that Linda had taken all the money out of Laura's and closed Teresa's account. I called and asked her why she did that, she said that it was because Teresa needed girl stuff. Actually, Linda needed money in her pocket and cigarettes.

I had bought over $1,000.00 in food in March before I left. That was the last of our money. My thinking was that if I didn't spend it on something worth-while, Linda would get it and spend it taking herself and her sisters out to a dance or bingo. The freezer, refrigerator, and cabinets were full. When I left at the end of March they were still full. Half a month later and the state of Texas has given Linda almost $300.00 in food stamps that she can give to her sisters so that they will like her.

[Flashback] In the beginning, Linda yelled and screamed and cursed me and GOD because she couldn't have children. It was supposed that she had gotten pregnant by a close relative and her mother had used a clothes hanger to change the future, aka murder a baby. I have taken her to many doctors and they have all said the same thing that there is a lot of scarring in there. So, much that they can't fix it. She wanted these children. So, I started the process with attorney Steve Campos to adopt the children.

Her latest ploy, because I wouldn't give her any money (because I don't have any) and I gave the green car to Eva, is to have Teresa tell people that I raped her. This actually began back at the end of 1997.

At this time, Bertha, Eva, and Teresa were fostered to us. Shortly after this incident they told us that Margie and Virginia were making Bertha and Eva lay between each other's legs, on top of one another. They also told us that Margie, Virginia, and Nelda's children were taking Bertha, Eva, and Teresa's clothes off and putting things like leaves and small sticks into their vaginas. We had them checked out by the doctor and I called Steve Morgan (Texas child protective services) and told him what the girls had told us. He told us that he would check into it. We saw him in court during the adoption hearing but he didn't say anything about it.

Linda and I took the children for a bicycle ride on Old Orangeburg road near Summerville, SC. In front of the church, by the railroad tracks, an Isuzu pickup truck ran off the road, into the grass, and hit me. It knocked me from the first driveway of the church to the next. It stopped my heart from beating. An ambulance came to pick me up and tried to take me to the nearest hospital. The nearest hospital wouldn't take me because they said they couldn't handle it. So, the ambulance took me to the hospital at the Medical University in Charleston (MUSC). All of these things were told to me by Linda, the children, my mom, and grandpa-grandpa. I don't remember anything for almost a year after I was hit by that truck. I just remember waking up one day on the fold out bed in my Mom's house in her living room. For a few months after that my memories are patchy. I do remember, using my computer to get list of employers who wanted to hire people with military job skills. I would up getting a job at Altus AFB in Oklahoma. I had no way to get out there. So, I had to borrow money from my Grandpa-grandpa and Mom. That got me back on my feet, then the call came from South Carolina. I had gotten a job at Altus AFB, in Oklahoma. I went out there and got a hotel room and started working. One night after work, I called home to say hello and co-ordinate efforts to bring my family from SC to OK. While on the phone Linda told me that Teresa had said that I had sex with her. I told Linda that that was not true. I told her to take Teresa to the doctor and call my mom, a licensed nurse, immediately. She did all that and called me back to tell me that no one had found anything wrong with Teresa except that she missed me being home.

Another antic by the very creative Teresa. Prior to this she had trouble getting out of pre-school. The teacher didn't want to promote her because she could not recite her address and/or phone number. I had a meeting with Teresa and the teacher. I talked to Teresa and discovered that she didn't want to graduate because she thought that she would loose all her new friends. I explained to her that if she didn't pass this test she would stay behind and they all go into another grade, but if she passed she would be able to stay with them. I asked the teacher to ask her the questions again. Suddenly, Teresa knew her address and phone number.

Yet another antic by the very creative Teresa. While staying with my mother in SC they (Teresa & Laura) were put into school in Calhoun county. They had decided to take Army Junior ROTC. They had also decided that they didn't like the instructor. They had told everyone that while they were at the water fountain he had said to them, "Get back to class whores." Of course, we went to the school and confronted this man. Absolutely everyone at the school, principle, teachers, students backed this man up when he told me that he never said any such thing. Teresa & Laura have never countered their story. They have always stuck to it, however, I find it very difficult to believe that this very accomplished gentleman with such unyielding support from the community would have said such a thing.

This behavior has only been exacerbated by, but not limited to these few examples, Linda in the following manners;

I told her that it does no good to beg, because I don't have any money to give her.

At the present time, while I am in SC and they are in TX, Linda has gotten Teresa to bring up the rape thing again. Of course, they had to do rape kits on them again. They discovered nothing because nothing ever happened. Bertha, Eva, Teresa, and Laura have been examined and sent to all kinds of counseling since they have been with us. We were all tested or whatever they call it, by SC, TX, and one independent agency (rights of the child or something like that) before we were allowed to adopt them. Then, in OK we were all questioned again with no negative outcome. Doctors and therapists, working for the state, for over 10 years have all agreed that Bertha, Eva, Teresa, and Laura were all doing fine and were not molested in way, shape, or form while in my care.

So, I find it very distressing that Linda continues to tell people these bad things about me that never happened. However, it is to be expected. She has always called any female that I have ever worked with a sl- - or wh- - -. If any of our daughters side with me, then they are sl- - s and wh- - - s.

(2006) I’m going to try to contact an attorney in OK next. I emailed two attorneys⁷ and never got a response. I don't have any money to pay them anyway.

I'm a disabled vet, who gets $377.00 / month from the VA and is forced to live in a one-quarter of a bedroom in my mother's house.

(May2007) Well, I couldn't get an attorney and most likely never will be able to get one, unless the state pays for me to have one. Currently, I continue to make $477.00 per month from the VA and $97.00 per month from DOL, totaling $574.00. I pay for Linda, Teresa, and Laura;

I paid $100.00 to my relatives for food which leaves me a grand total of $58.57.

(20May07) After she calls me and asks for these things and I kindly take care of them, she calls me back. She tells me that she loves and misses me. I tell her that I'm NOT coming back there to be beaten up again and again and again, I'm tired of it. She gets mad and starts yelling and screaming, she calls me a coward and yells that I abandoned them. When she stops to take a breath I quietly tell her that I did not abandon anyone, she chased me off. She says that I told them that I don't live there anymore. She asks me why I did that. I tell her, because it's the truth. That makes her mad. She tells me that her rent is over $300.00 now, why did I do that. I explain that if I hadn't done that then I would be getting the bill for the rent and I can't afford that. I tell her that she has a job she should pay the rent. She gets more angry and yells and screams at me for a few more moments with ridiculous remarks like I never wanted her all I ever wanted was to have sex with my children. I wait for her to stop talking and breath again and interject that that is a lie. She tells me at least five or six times that she is going to go judge Hobbs and start divorcing me. She uses the phrase like a hammer, knowing that I don't believe in divorce. I ask her if she thinks that that will get more money out of me. I fail to mention that I am already giving well over 90% of what I make to them. I've done that for over 20 years and it never works, she never believes me. She just calls me a liar when I say it, so I stopped bothering with it. She says that this is not about money. Then, she tells me that she might lose her job at the plant. They have finished all the modems that were needed. That tells me all that I need to know, that this is what it is always about, MONEY. She starts hammering away with the judge Hobbs thing again. I tell her that I don't believe that the court would let her keep the kids anyway, after all the times that she had jumped naked out of the bed, made the children follow her back into the bedroom while I was naked (under the covers) and screamed at them to jump into the bed with me and let me have sex with them. I never did have sex with them whether she was with them or not. Shortly after we finished adopting them and heard the incredible stories they had to tell about the places (relatives) that they had come from, I insisted that they always travel in pairs. I have never been alone with any of them. I explained to her that if she does talk to that judge to please give the judge my phone number so that she hear both sides of the story. She starts screaming that she is sorry that she ever married me. She is trying to tie that in with something else when I interrupt and tell her well, that's the end of this conversation. You have a great night, good-bye, and hang up the phone.

(22May07) I pray for her and ask GOD to please let her keep her job. I text her the next night and say, "I prayed that they would let U keep your job - did it work?" She calls me back and asked me what the message was about. I told her, read it. She said, you know that I can't read. I said why didn't you have one of the girls read it to you? She asked me read it for her please. I see that this was just a reason for her to call and talk to me. I read what it says to her. She sounds like she's cooled down a bit. She explains that they called her into the office, she thought that they were going to lay her off, but they moved her to a different shift and gave her a pay raise. I told her that it sounds like GOD helped her out. I said good-night and hang up the phone.

(21May07) Linda called, and I asked her what she needed, because she never calls unless she needs something. She just said that she called because she wanted to talk to me. I was very shocked, she has never done that before. I pay for three cell phone, they have all those great things free incoming calls, free calls within the carrier, ect... but, my phone always stays silent. I get maybe 10 or 20 calls per month.

(28May07) Linda called again and she said it was for the same reasons as the last time she called.

(29May07) Once again, she called me and told me that she had called for the same reasons that she had called the last two or three times.

The letter is an 'Order for paternity and child support'. In actuality it is a form of government sponsored terrorism. Basically, it is a letter telling me that I owe Oklahoma past child support for five years (2002 to 2007). I was physically with them, giving them 100% of my income during those years. I can't see how the government can charge me child support for years when I was supporting my children. It just seems ludicrous, its the actions of a terrorist organization backed by the government.

(2Jun07) Linda called again, she said it for the same reasons as last time, just because she wanted to talk to me. I told her about the letter, she said that she wanted to talk to me about it, but all of a sudden she said that she heard the call waiting beep, and would call me back. She never called me back.

(4Jun07) My mother called me at 0630 and told me to get in touch with Linda, because she had gotten a voice mail from her saying that she had an emergency. I tried to call her, Teresa, and Laura. All of their phones said the same thing that they were disconnected. I called 611 and asked them what was going on, she said that the phones in Texas were having a problem but should be working again within an hour. I called Linda's sister Margie to call her or someone close to her and find out what was happening. Margie said that she would call around, find out what was going on and call me back. Finally, Linda called me on the house phone and she said that her emergency was that the phones were not working. She was mad and thought that I had had them turned off. I told her that I would not do anything like that to them. She started fussing at me about how we sold the house and I spent all the money, and she wanted that money. I explained to her, once again as I do every time that we talk, that I only make about $4 or $500 dollars per month... I told her that she makes a lot more money than I do. She started calling me a liar. She told me to get rid of the phones and start sending her the money. I told her that I couldn't do that either, because I would have to pay penalties and then I would have even less money. That just made her madder and she started yelling at me again about how I abandoned them. I waited for her finish and told her that I didn't abandon anyone. She said that I had all that money and was making a lot of money, that's why she had to do the child support thing. She said that her boss at work had helped her to do it. I told her that I had gotten the letter and had already sent a response. Click her to see the letter. She didn't want to talk about that anymore. I told her that I had called Margie and asked her to find out what her emergency was. She got angry and told me never, never to call Margie again. I said okay. She said that she needed to get the car registered. She said that she had gotten an extension until August. I told her to go to the public transportation office in Taylor, get the forms, fill them out, sign my name to them (like she usually does) and get the car registered. She said, you know I can't do that because I can't read. I said, get Teresa to read it for you. I guess I got too quiet for her once or twice she raised her voice and asked your didn't hang up on me did you, you better not hang up on me. I told that I wouldn't do something like that.

I called my mom back and told her that Linda's big emergency was that her phone was not working. I told her that I had called Margie and asked her to help me find out what Linda's emergency was. She said that Linda was starting a little war down there Texas because she wanted something from Margie and Margie didn't want to give it to her. So, Linda told her that she was going to turn her husband (Alonzo) into immigration and get him deported again.

(9Jun07-Morning) Linda called and asked me if I wanted to say a prayer with them for the test (ACT) that I had arranged for Teresa to take in Temple. I said yes and said a prayer over the speaker phone.

(9Jun07-Evening) I was walking through K-Mart with my mother and JT (John Thomas Mims - my uncle's six year old son - he likes to ride in the buggy) and my cell phone (my only possession) rang. Mom had split off from us because she said that she was going to use the bathroom. Therefore, I had thought that she would be on the phone trying to find out where we were in the store. However, it was Linda's sister Margie. As soon as I answered the phone she said, "Who is this?" I told her that it was me. She said oh and told me that she had pushed the wrong button but started talking to me anyway. Playfully, I told her that that was okay, she had just accidentally called the most important number in her phone, laughing I said, mine. I told her about the emergency that Linda had and that it wasn't really an emergency. She told me that she didn't Linda and her new boyfriend. She said that she didn't get into everyone's business. She said that she didn't want to know. I said okay and asked how everyone was doing there. She said that everyone was doing fine. She told me that Linda had told her that I was going to divorce her and had told her that I was going to use Margie on my side to try to get custody of the girls. I told her that I hadn't told Linda any such thing. Furthermore, I told her that I don't believe in divorce so if any divorcing was going to be done it would be done by Linda. Margie told me that she didn't believe in divorce either. I heard a beep on the phone, so I knew that mom was trying to me and JT, so I told Margie that I had to go. We said good-bye and hung up. I stepped into the isle and waved so that mom could see where we were.

(13Jun07-1:45PM) Linda called and asked for $300.00. I told her that I didn't have any money. She got mad and started saying mean things to me. She said that I had sold all her stuff and got all that money. I told her that we had agreed to sell it all, because we have enough room when we moved into that public housing apartment, and I sold it for a dollar. That made her angrier, and she said that I was going to pay her a lot more than that. I told her that if she just called to say mean things to me then this conversation was over. I told her good-bye and hung up the phone.

(13Jun07-1:40PM) Linda called me and left a message on my phone. She told me to stop hanging up on her.

(13Jun07-10:39PM) I called her back and told her that I didn't hang up on her, I told her good-bye and then hung up the phone. She started talking nicer and told me that she needed $20.00 for gas for her car so that she could get back and forth to work. I asked her what happened to her money. She said that Teresa and Laura spent it all going to the swimming pool in Taylor. I told her that my checking account was sitting at -$14.00. I didn't tell her that the reason was because I had bought an anniversary present for her from Swiss Colony. I had enough money in my account, but they charged me twice for it. She started getting mad again and telling that she was going to lose her job because of me and I wasn't doing anything for them. I said that I paid for all the gas for her to ride her sisters all over town while I was there, I told her to ask one of them or Eva for $20.00. She said that she wasn't talking to Margie or Virginia and she didn't know where Eva was. I told her that I was sorry but I was certain that she would find $20.00 for gas. She asked me for $300.00 to take Teresa to LeToureau University in Plainview, Texas. I told her that I most certainly did not have that much money. I said good-bye, she said good-bye, and I hung up.

(23Jun07 - 5:55PM) Linda called to thank me for the fruit slices tin that I sent her from Swiss Colony. She said that she couldn't eat it because of a cyst beside one of her teeth. She told me that she had gone to the dentist and gotten it fixed. I told her that that was good and she that she could enjoy eating the fruit slices once her mouth was feeling better. She said that it was too late for that she had already given them to Teresa & Laura. I told her that I was glad she liked the fruit slices and I was glad that she was feeling better. I told her to have a great evening and good-bye. She raised her voice and started yelling at me about not wanting to talk to her. She was yelling at me to get a divorce. I told her to stop worrying about me, have a great day, I've really got to go, and good-bye. She said what are you doing then. I told her that I was sitting alone, doing nothing, and I liked that. She started yelling at me to get the divorce again. I told her to have a great day (again), good-bye, and hung up the telephone.

(24Jun2007) Well, I still can't get an attorney and most likely never will be able to get one, unless the state pays for me to have one. I tried to get one here in South Carolina, but she (12Jun07 - Sheila Thomas) told me that her law organization could not represent me because I have not been living in SC for at least a year. She said that she would refer me to Oklahoma Legal Aid. I have not heard from them. Currently, I continue to make $477.00 per month from the VA and $97.00 per month from DOL, totaling $574.00. . I pay for Linda, Teresa, & Laura;

1. $262.00 per month for BC/BS health insurance (Paid by my employer – for 11 years)

4. $50.00 (The last dollar that I had) to help her pay her rent for July, because she smokes cigarettes and bounced some checks.

(2Jul2007) I got a letter from Judge Richard B. Darby telling me that he was dismissing my 'petition in error', because it wasn't sent within 30 days of the original petition. I sent another letter to them (3rd district court, OK 5th district representative Tom Cole, and Office of Administrative Hearings - Child Support). They appear to be set in creating a petition full of errors and then sealing it in granite so that it cannot be fixed. I call it scarring justice by erring on the side of their own convenience.

(4Jul2007) Linda called and said that she wanted $700.00. I told her that I didn't have it. She got mad and I told her that I had to go and good-bye.

(9Jul2007) Linda told me that the OK child support people called her and she told her that she was going to ask me for $100.00 to help her pay the rent. I told Linda that I didn't have $100.00, but I told her that I would give her $50.00 and I did. She was concerned because she had bounced some checks and the bank was charging money for some of it's services and she didn't understand why or for what. I told her that I couldn't be held responsible for that, because I was NOT there when she had done it. She said that she had taken Laura with her and had her read everything to her. I told her that she could've just gone to a pet store and gotten one of those cute, little, palm sized, green turtles and set it on the desk beside the contract when she signed it. Linda got a little huffy with me on that, she said are you telling me that Laura is a like a turtle. I said yes and no. I told her that like the turtle, they were both cute but Laura had never opened a bank account either. I told her that that girl needed me so that I could show her how to do things like that. So, that I could teach her how to live. Linda just said she doesn't need you.

She also told me that the car that she had told me to give to Eva and stolen back from her, was breaking down. She said that she was going to try to trade it in on another one. I told her to go ahead and do it. She told me that Judge Judy Hobbs told her that she needed to get me to sign a bunch of papers so that she could sell the car and then use the money to buy another one. I told her to just sign my name to everything like she's always done. She said that she would do it. Amazingly, she didn't yell or scream once, even though she was quite contrary about a few things. As usual she ran on about me abandoning them, and as usual I countered that by recanting the truth that she ran me off.

(10Jul07) I saw Dr. Dill, at the VA in Columbia, today. I started by explaining that my problem had to do with eating. I could not sit still while eating. I had to move my shoulders and brace the muscles on the front with the muscles on the back. I told him that it is a little painful. I tried to tell him all of the things on this page, but he was nice enough to see me as a walk-in and he was pretty busy and kinda' rushed. He asked me what the problem was and I tried to give him all this background, but he wouldn't let me finish. He gave me a diagnosis of anxiety and depression. I would tell him a piece of the story and as I paused to collect thoughts so that I could continue the point and finally ask a question, he would divert the conversation to explaining the medications that he had ordered for me. I supposed I'm not really a very aggressive conversationalist. He did type a lot of what I was telling him into his computer. He showed me the things that he was typing. He even read a few of them to me. I told him thanks and that I trusted him to write what I was saying. He did re-read a part about my memory being complete and I stopped him and we made a correction. I told him about my bicycle accident and explained some of memory problems with that area. I had also told him that I had what I thought was an internal version of 'Turrets Syndrome'. He asked me if I heard voices and I said no. He asked me a few other questions about being hearing other people thoughts, did I think or believe that I had any special powers or abilities. I answered no to all those questions. At any rate, since he continued to tell me to ask him any questions, I tried to aim my background and conversation on the question of 'was leaving my house the right thing to do?' He didn't say yes or no, but he did say that it sounded to him like it cut down on the conflict. He mentioned that the medication that he prescribed for me would help me to sleep. He added a warning about thoughts of suicide while taking the medication. He said that if that happened to call the VA telephone advice program and/or get to the emergency room. He also warned me that the medication could cause me to have an unexpected erection. He said that if it lasted more than 4 hours to seek medical attention. As much as I want to feel better, both of these things scare me, so I don't think that I will take this medication. I wanted to tell him more but he had to go. He made another appointment for me on the 24th of July 2007. He also said that I would have to see an intake social worker.

I got a call from the VA in Orangeburg from a Social Worker. She said that Dr. Dill had referred me to her, because the Orangeburg office is geographically closer to where I live. She said that I had to see her before I could see a mental health professional, Dr. Gonzales. She made an appointment for me on Friday, the 13th of July, 2007. She said that after I spoke with her then I they make an appointment for me to talk to Dr. Gonzales.

(14Jul07) I went to my appointment at the Orangeburg VA. I spoke with Janet P. Adams, LMSW. She is an Orangeburg GBOC Clinical Social Worker. We spoke for almost 2 hours. I told her pretty much everything that I had told Dr. Dill, but did not have enough time to tell her a few of the things. Like what Linda told me the morning before I had left to come to SC. At any rate, she asked my why I was there. I told her about the Terrut's Syndrome type thinking that I have. I also told her about the trouble staying still while eating or when I was nervous. She did notice that I was moving my shoulders and said, "You mean like that." I said yes, only worse. I told her that I wasn't going to take that medicine that Dr. Dill prescribed for me. She asked why. I told her that I didn't want to take any medications that might make start thinking about killing myself or have unexpected erections that lasted more than 4 hours. I told her that I didn't have any of those things now and didn't want to have any of them. I told her that I try to manage the Terrut's type thinking that bothers me and it just isn't worth those types of risks to get rid of it, besides Dr. Dill said that it would only quiet it down a little and wouldn't get rid of completely. I've already successfully quieted it down somewhat by myself without medication. I don't feel that those risks are justified. But, I really would like to completely get rid of those negative thoughts. She asked me if I felt depressed. I told her that I didn't feel depressed.

We talked about whether I was right or left handed. I told her that I had started out left handed, but when I went to Knightsville Elementary school the teachers had a large wooden stick for any kids that picked up a pencil in their left hand. You didn't do that but once or twice, because that stick really hurt.

We talked about the teacher that locked me, one other boy, and a girl into shoe cabinets when I was in second grade. I've told other people this story. I don't understand why I get so emotional about it. I try not to be, but as I spoke to her I could feel the emotions rippling through me with each word. I had to pause and look away from her a time or two as I was telling her about it. I told her that I had told my mom and she went to school with me. I explained how I had stood by my classroom door, in the hallway, and watched as my mother, Mrs. Jenkins (Our school principal), and my second grade teacher talked. I told her about watching my mother grab my second grade teacher by her shirt blouse and start shaking, while Mrs. Jenkins pushed her hands in between them and tried to separate them. I was moved to another classroom. My new second grade teacher was Mrs. Bowler. Mrs. Adams asked me how long my second grade teacher had kept us locked up in those shoe cabinets. I told her it had gone on for a few months. She would put us in the cabinets when we got to class, let us out to go to lunch, put us back in after lunch, and let out to get on the bus and go home at the end of the school day.

She asked me if I had ever been molested or molested anyone else. I answered no immediately, but I could feel myself coloring, my face got hot. I re-thought my answer and realized that I had spoken too quickly. I told her about when I was 9 or 10 years old, living at 223 Swanson Drive. I told her about my girlfriend, our baby sitter, Bobby Dee. I explained that Bobby Dee's step or foster dad (I can't remember which - But I was told that he was her uncle) had a van and was taken his three daughters/nieces (ages 16 to 10 years old) out at night with his buddies for a good time for a price. Then I explained that had translated to Bobby Dee trying to have sex with. She would send my brothers and sister outside to play in the yard. Then she would tell me to follow her and we would go into my little sister Dannette's bedroom. Bobby Dee would lie on Dannette's bed and take off her pants and panties. Then she would tell me to get up on the bed and help me get in between her legs. Then we would have sex, if you can call it that. [That's where my story to the Social worker ended - Although I did want to tell her more, I felt a little embarrassed]. She would pull my shorts and underwear down around my knees as I knelt between her legs on the bed. Then she would play with me a little and tell me to put my pee-pee in her. I did and she would tell me to move back and forth. I could only do that a little, because it started to tickle too much for me keep on going. She wanted me to keep on going, but I couldn't. Bobby Dee didn't seem to mad, she did come back and we did that a few more times, until her foster/step dad/uncle got caught and put in jail. Bobby Dee's next younger sister Frankie also played with me behind her house.

I did not get the chance to tell her about Russell Craft raping me while at my grandmothers house, at about the same age.

I told her that I had gotten hit and killed by an Isuzu pickup truck while bicycling on Old Orangeburg road in Summerville, SC.

She did call these events trauma. I'm not sure whether she was talking about the truck hitting me or the school and babysitter things. Was she referring to physical or mental trauma or both.

She asked me if I had always ran away from confrontation. I told her that as long as I could remember that I had. I have two legs, I don't have to stand around take abuse. I can always go somewhere else. Except when my wife is involved, she follows me around when she is mad, aka I don't have any money to give her.

She noticed almost immediately in our conversation that I have a tendency to skip around. She asked me if anyone had ever told me that. I told her that about every other person I spoke with noticed that about me. I told her that I didn't notice it about myself. She mentioned the words ADHD.

One upsetting event of the discussion happened when I told her about Linda hitting me and almost breaking my finger. She tried to restate what I had told her and said "... when we were hitting each other...". I interrupted to make certain that she understood that I was NOT hitting Linda. Linda was punching me in the chest and stomach while I was holding my arms open wide to remain in a non-threatening position. She was fighting with me over money. I wanted to make sure that Mrs. Adams understood exactly what I was talking about since she had misstated what I had told her. I'm not certain if she misstated that on purpose or if she did it because of social conditioning. At any rate, the implications were uncomfortable.

She asked me if I still wanted to have an appointment with Dr. Garcia, because she said that he had a entire battery of things that might be able to help me. I told her that I most certainly would like to speak with Dr. Garcia. She said that she was going to make an appointment for me. I told her that I would like to speak with her again also.

(15Jul07) Linda called and didn't yell, scream, or cuss the whole time. She even asked me if I wanted her to send me $50.00. I told her that since she had taken all of my money, I wasn't going to be able to sign Teresa up for the ACT test. I asked her to do that instead of giving me money. She said that she would do that.

I got a letter from Oklahoma Child Support Enforcement division telling that I hadn't given them any money. It also said that if I didn't give them any money they were going to take my driver's license and do other mean things to me. Of course, there is nothing that I can do about that, as I have no money. None, zero, zip, nauda. I've sent them letters telling them that I don't have any money. The fact that I don't have any money to give them doesn't appear to concern them.

(21Jul07) Linda called and told me that her tire was flat. She asked me to give her enough money to fix it. I told her that I didn't have any money. I explained that I had already given her (paid the cell phone and car insurance bills) all the money that I had. She asked me to use my AAFES card to buy her some cigarettes. I told her that I would never use that card again.

U-Haul has begun to terrorize me, Linda, and my brother David. I have called many times to try to get them to stop sending me erroneous charges. I finally called Misty at U-Haul and asked her why she was sending me bills for over $800.00 when all I owed them was around $200.00. She said that I owed them $199.00 per month for storage bin 219 and 220. I told her that the manager had rented both of those units to me for the single price of $99.00. She told me that the girl who was there was not authorized to make those kinds of deals. I told her that she said she was the manager and appeared to be in charge of the site, thereby the authorized representative of U-Haul. She said that the girl had been fired for making unauthorized deals.

I spoke with Linda and told her that I had the copies of the contracts for the storage bins in the little file cabinet in her bedroom. She got the contracts and told me what she saw on them. I asked her if she remembered what the girl had told us about the bins. She said that she remembered and that she would go down there tomorrow and get all the stuff out. She said that she would call me if she had any problems.

Linda also asked me for $180.00 to get her car registered. I told her that I didn't have the money for that. She asked me to ask my mom for the money. I told her that mom wouldn't give the money, because I already owed her a $100.00 for groceries. I asked her to get Oklahoma off my back for the child support stuff. I told her that I would try to find the money for her. Of course, that will mean that the car tags for the Impala (my car) will expire. Anyway, I'll give her the money. She told me that if I gave her the money for her car registration she would tell the OK child support nazis to leave me alone.

1. $262.00 per month for BC/BS health insurance (Paid by my employer – for 11 years)

4. $180.00 (The last dollar that I had) to help her pay to renew the title on her car.

(10Aug07) Linda called and we talked for a while. I agreed to give her the 2004 cappuccino frost Chevy Impala (cost me $30,000.00) and continue to pay the bills that I'm paying if she would drop her child support suit against me. She told me that she was already talking to a lawyer about dropping the case. I told her that that was fine. I said that I would just take her the car and take a bus back home. She said okay. I told her that I never wanted to hear about her wanting child support from me ever again. She said okay. I told her to get Teresa and Laura to listen with her in speaker phone mode. She said okay. I told her again where Teresa and Laura could hear. I asked them to repeat back to me what I had just said. One at a time they did what I asked. I asked if that was okay with everybody. They all agreed that it was what they wanted.

(15Aug07) Linda called me and said that she was upset. She told me that she didn't go to work on Friday because the green car broke down (starter). I had given $180.00 to get it changed over to her name and get it registered. However, she used the money to buy a new starter for it. At any rate, she said that she had lost her job because she didn't go to work Friday. She said that the girl she worked for fired her. Linda told the girl that it wasn't right that she was firing her because her car broke down. She told her that she should be firing those other girls who don't come to work on Fridays because they just got paid and get drunk. She told Linda that she was still fired and forbade her to go back into the building. Linda went back into the building anyway and told her supervisor that the girl had fired her and she also told him about her car breaking down and about the other girls missing work because they were drunk. He told her to wait right were she was and he would be right back. He went upstairs for a few moments and came back down and told Linda that he would fix everything. He said that he would call her Wednesday (yom ri-ve-ee - ירם רביעי).

Linda told me that she couldn't get any money to me for bringing the car to her in Texas. She also told me that she was going to apply for unemployment. Then she said that when that was done she would apply for TANF again. I told her that she didn't want to do that because they would want that money back. I told her that I would pray for her and that I was still looking for ways to get the car to her. I borrowed $300.00 from my mother.

I had asked her to send me pictures of the ring that I had bought for Teresa. She did do that and here they are...

(September 2007) I got in the Impala and drove it down to Linda. I also signed the papers for her to sell the Green Dodge for $1,600.00 so that she would have some money to pay her bills. That's a total of $31,000.00* that I've given her this month alone. I signed all the papers that she told me to sign and in return she said that she would drop the child support case and never ask me for child support again. Linda had said that she would get a letter from her lawyer detailing everything for me. She said that he was out of town. So, I told her that she could send it to me. She said that she would.

She had said that her attorney had told her that the letter might not be any good unless it was notarized. I asked her to get it notarized for me. She said that she would do it and send it to me.

Linda misunderstood the person on the phone who she spoke with about my bus ticket. Apparently she didn't understand that you have to actually purchase the ticket ahead of time to get the discount, instead of just asking them about. I offered to stay another 7 days so that the price would drop, almost in half. But she insisted that I leave, so much so that she purchased the ticket anyway regardless of the additional cost. I rode a Greyhound bus back to South Carolina.

I'm still getting letters from the state of Oklahoma wanting me to pay them over $50,000.00. I wrote them and my Oklahoma representative (Tom Cole) a letter, click here to read it.

Linda called me. She had slipped on some fruit juice in HEB and fallen. They sent her to the doctor and he had recommended operating on her knee to fix it. Linda asked me to send her all the Blue Cross/Blue Shield statements that I received to her, so that HEB could pay her back for any money that she was out of.

1. $262.00 per month for BC/BS health insurance (Paid by my employer – for 11 years)

(3Oct07) I'm still waiting for Linda to send me the letter from her lawyer. I've reminded her about five times already. Every time that she calls, I ask her about it and she just tells me that she hasn't gotten her letter yet either.

Linda called me and asked me for $100.00 to help her pay for the rent. I told her that I didn't have a hundred dollars to give her. She said that she was selling the rest of my stuff over there so that she would have enough money to pay her bills. I told her to go right ahead. I told her that since she didn't have a job the rent shouldn't be that much now. I reminded her that my rent was $8.00 per month while I was there because I didn't have a job. She said that she had to go and talk to them about that. I told her that I didn't have a hundred dollars to give but that I would do what I could I sent her $40.00. She called me back later and told me that her rent was going to go down to $10.00 a month. I told her to send my money back to me. She said that she was going to keep the money and use it to pay for something that Teresa needed. Teresa has her own job at a restaurant in Taylor. She doesn't need money from me. Oh well, she maintained that she needed it, so I told her to keep it. Linda keeps threatening me with TANF when she calls. She also continues to ask me who is here with me, every time that she calls. I continue to tell her the truth, that no one is here with me. She calls me a liar. I just stop talking to her about it.

(8Oct07) Linda called and she was rather hysterical. She was concerned about getting kicked out of her apartment. Sandra, the housing manager at Taylor public housing had given her an eviction notice. I told her that I would help. I looked on the internet and started calling HUD offices, but they were off for Columbus day. I called Linda back and told her that I would have to start fixing the problem, with GOD's help, on Tuesday.

(Oct07) Linda called me a few more times. I told her that I had called 'The Taylor Daily Press', a newspaper in Taylor, Texas, and a television station in Austin, Texas. I told her that they may call her. She called back a few days later and told me that they had called her and that Sandra, the housing project manager, had told her not to worry about it. Linda had asked me to send her all of the blue cross/blue shield paperwork for her injury in HEB. I have been putting them all in envelops, along with get-well cards, and sending them to her. Every time she calls she asks who is with me. She tells me that she can hear my girlfriend in the background. I tell her that I don't have a girlfriend and don't want one. She told me that one day she was going to show up on my door step and catch me and my girlfriend. Then it would be all over. I told her again, like I do every time that she calls me, that I don't have a girlfriend and don't want one.

(23Oct07) Linda called me and asked me why I hadn't called her. I told her that I had texted her. She said that I needed to call her. She told me that she could hear my girlfriend in the background. I told her the same thing that I always tell her, that I don't have a girlfriend and do not want one. She asked me if I were looking for one. I told her that I'm not looking for one either. I asked her where my letter was at. She said that she and Teresa just put it into the mail today. Last time she told me that it had been returned to her because she didn't put enough postage on it.

(25Oct07) I called Linda and told her that I was sending some more bc/bs papers to her. She said okay. She went through the girlfriend thing. I said the usual.

1. $262.00 per month for BC/BS health insurance (Paid by my employer – for 11 years)

5. $43.00 to help her pay for a doctor visit for the knee she hurt in HEB. HEB will pay her back for this, but she will NEVER give the money to me.

(30Oct07) I got a letter from OK DHS saying that they were freezing my bank account at Altus First State Bank and taking all of the money from it. The letter said that I have 14 days, from the date of the letter, to respond. I filled out the paper and sent them a copy of the letter that Linda, Teresa, Laura, and I signed while I was in Texas. I called and spoke to the OK DHS girl and she said that the letter probably was not any good because it wasn't notarized. I told her that Linda had told me that she was going to send me a notarized copy of the letter, but never has. These child support organizations intentionally terrorize citizens of the United States by freezing accounts at the end of the month. That means that you are put into a state of terror trying to find ways to pay your bills on the first of the month. It's federal and state government directed psychological terrorism upon 'we the people...' it's own citizens. I sent my phone bill into the food stamp office hoping that they would give me more than $10.00 worth of food stamps this month.

(31Oct07) Linda called and I asked her where the notarized letter that she promised me was at. Linda also told me to take Eva off of our health insurance, because she doesn't come over and talk to her. She told me that Eva might be pregnant or get a disease and she didn't want to pay for it. I told her that our insurance BC/BS would insure all of the kids until they were 22 years old and it would cost the same amount of money no matter how many people were on it. She wanted her taken off anyway because Eva would never come to visit her and doesn't talk to her. I told her again that our insurance would cost the same amount of money even if we only had one kid on it. I explained it to her one more time. She insisted that I take Eva off the health insurance. I told her that I would do it, because she was mad and cussing at me again. However, I'm not really going to do it. I've tried to get in touch with Eva via Junior and Bertha so that I can tell her about it and tell her not to tell Linda. I have not been able to get in touch with her yet but I will not take her off the insurance unless she does one of the life-altering events called for in the insurance policy manual.

(5Nov07) Linda called and told me that she had an emergency. She said that she had taken Laura to the ER. She said that she had been throwing up a lot and was getting dizzy. She said that she had been trying to call me for two days. I asked her how Laura was doing. I told her that I had gone to the revival at Spring Gulley Baptist church, near Andrews, SC, with my mother, my aunt Celeste, my cousins Tony, Becky, and their children. We had stayed at Aunt Nell's trailer in the country on Saturday (3Nov07) and had gone to church on Sunday (4Nov07). Linda fussed at me some more for leaving the house and finally told me that Laura was doing was okay. She mentioned that the ER nurse had told her that the medicine that my mother had given Laura while she was in South Carolina was probably too strong for her. I told her that I didn't know anything about that. I didn't even know that my mom had given Laura any medication. No one ever told me. I told her that I had gotten the papers notarized and had put them in the mail. She was very angry.

(6Nov07) Teresa called me. She said that a boy had given her a phone because hers was not working well. She said that she wanted to connect it to my phone plan. I told her that that would be fine. I told her to tell her mother to do what she promised me she would do, send me the notarized letter dropping all charges against me, and to tell her mother to call me and we would talk about it.

(8Nov07) Linda called and was angry. She started fussing at me about telling Teresa to tell her to send the letter or I would not add her phone to my account. I told her that that is not what I told Teresa. I asked Linda to do what she promised me and send me the letter. She was still angry and hung up on me. I called Teresa on her broken phone, the battery does not charge completely and sometimes stops working, and told her that I would start the process of getting her new phone connected to my account. I called Verizon Wireless and asked them about it. The woman who answered the phone was very nice and told me that the process would be easy. I had Teresa added to my account as a person who make changes, with the intention of changing her back to a regular user after the addition of her new phone was done. I called Teresa back and told her that she needed to call 611 and get them started on changing it over. A few moments later the Verizon woman called me again and said that she had Teresa on the phone and that we in a conference call. She said that she needed my security code. I hadn't heard Teresa in a few moments so I thought that the woman had muted Teresa. I gave her the code. Then I thought that I had better double check things and asked the woman if Teresa was still on and listening. Teresa answered for her and told me that she still on. I asked the woman why she would ask me what my security code was while someone else was listening. She said that she was very sorry, put Teresa on mute, and asked me if I wanted to change it. I said, "Of course I do". I changed the code. We disconnected. Teresa called me back a few moments later and told me that the mission was successful, her new phone had been successfully changed over. Teresa handed Linda the phone. She said that she hated used phones. She asked me to buy her a new phone and she asked what the security code was. I told her that I was not going to tell her that. I also told her that I really didn't have the money to buy her a new phone, but that I would try to do it if she would get that paper notarized like she promised. She said okay, you wait until those papers get her and see what happens. I asked her what she meant by that. She said, "Oh, nothing." I was getting upset, so I told her that I had to go and we disconnected.

(9Nov07) Linda texted me that Dr. Who was on the SciFi channel. I texted her thanks. She called me while I was visiting my uncle Johnny Mims in the Orangeburg City jail. I walked outside and spoke with her. She asked me where I was. I told her that I was visiting him. She hung up the phone. I called her back and asked why she hung up on me. She said that she was scrapping and trying to pay bills and every time that she called I was out somewhere having fun. I told her that I was visiting my uncle at the jail house. I explained that I was not having fun. I told her that I would rather be at home watching the SciFi channel. She was angry and started saying mean things, like I always take care of my family and do things for my family and nothing for them. I told her that I didn't like talking to her when she was talking mean to me. I told her that I was sorry that she felt that way and that it was not true. I explained that I called and talked to them and paid for their cell phones and car insurance. She started yelling at me to take the cell phones. I told her that I had to go. I said, "Goodbye most beautiful and intelligent wife." We disconnected.

(10Nov07) Linda called and wanted to know if I had the receipt for her sister, Margie's, 32 inch television that we bought her for Christmas. I told her that I didn't have it. I said that I had given it to them. She said that the TV had stopped working. I called iLo and they told me to get the receipt and take it to Master Tek Repairs, 2819 West Avenue N, Temple, TX. I called Wal-Mart and the Assistant Manager Paul said that if I knew the exact date he could have one of the girls there find and print another one for me. I told Linda all this, said good-bye and disconnected. Linda called again and wanted me to look at a paper for her. She texted it to me, via cell phone. I told her that I would have to look at it when I got back to the house. She asked me where I was. I told her that I was riding in Uncle Gil's truck, because I was helping him and Aunt Celeste. She got mad and asked me why I was always out of the house somewhere with someone every time that she called. I told her that this was about the third or fourth time that I had been out of the house this month (2 weeks). She was still mad, but I told her that I would look at them when I got back home. She told me that they are part of her settlement with HEB. Something about $2,800.00. I looked at them and couldn't make anything out.

(12Nov07) Linda called and started fussing at me, once again, about leaving the house. Telling me that I'm always helping other people and never helping them ("... my family..."). I told her that everytime she calls me with a problem I drop whatever I'm doing and start working to help her. She was mad that I hadn't called her back right away when Teresa had sent me the new batch of pictures of the HEB deal. I told her that it was after 11 PM when I got them and I didn't know if they were in bed or not. Plus, I was sleepy and figured that I couldn't do much at 11 PM anyway. I told her that I would check on the HEB deal and call her back. I still couldn't read the words on the HEB papers, they were too blurry. I started calling personal injury attorneys. I also got a statement from Linda about what happened and when. I posted the information on a few find attorney websites. Here is what I posted for her.

Linda said, “I fell, on August 27, 2007, on some grapes left in the isle, of the fruit and vegetable section, of HEB in Taylor, TX. It took over four to six times to contact the night manager to tell him about the accident. The woman at the cash register had to get me a chair to sit in while we waited for the night manager to arrive. The cash register woman and my daughter (Teresa) cleaned up the smashed grapes. The night manager took down my name, number, and asked me what happened. He said that the man who works in the fruit and vegetable section had already gone home for the evening. He told me to go to the ER as soon as I got out of the store. No one offered to call an ambulance for me. I had to drive myself to the hospital. I lost my job because of it. I had to have knee surgery. The surgery cost over $5,000.00. I have had to sell a lot of my stuff to pay for my bills. No one ever asked me if I wanted to have physical therapy. HEB wants to pay me $2,800.00 for everything. I would like them to pay my hospital bills, my rent, utilities, for being out of work and a little more for my valuable time and trouble. Not to mention pain and suffering. Can you help me???”

Here is a list of the attorneys that I spoke with for Linda and what they had to say.

I called Mr. Gabriel Gutierrez, Jr., and spoke with him about Linda’s slip–n-fall in the HEB, in Taylor, TX. He asked me more questions about the incident. I told him that I wasn’t certain about all the details and explained that he would have to speak with her. He said that he had a doctor’s appointment in a few moments so he would go ahead and call her before he left. I said okay and we disconnected.

I also received some e-mails from a few more. I replied to some emails and spoke with a few more on the telephone about the case and have informed them that Linda was going to speak with Mr. Warren tomorrow. I told them that if things didn't work out with him we would probably call them back.

(15Nov07) I called Linda to see if she had gotten the Happy Thanksgiving card that I had sent to her. She said that Teresa and Laura had gotten theirs, but that she hadn't gotten hers yet. I had sent three copies of the letter, we all signed, dropping the child support case against me before I sent her the Happy Thanksgiving card. I also sent two copies that were notarized by me to her after I sent the Happy Thanksgiving card. She had told me that she didn't have a copy. She asked me to send one to her and she would have it notarized and send a copy back to me. She keeps saying that I'm never home and that I'm always off having fun while she is suffering trying to figure out how she is going to pay her bills. She also tells me that she is making Teresa pay their bills. She also asks me for $200.00. I explained to her as I always do that I don't have $200.00. That just makes her mad and she starts telling me that I'm never home, always out having fun, while they are suffering. I explained to her that I don't have a car. I stay at home all the time. I told her that I've only left home five times this month, not counting church. She doesn't believe me. We also talked about some medical problems that her brother was Gilbert having. He is having difficulty staying awake.

I spoke with my old work buddy, Altus, OK, Gordon Burrier. He caught me up on his promotions and how he, his wife, and kids are doing. I told him that I was doing okay. He said that he didn't know that a wife could sue a husband for child support while she was still married to him, much less still living with him. I told him that I didn't know that much about law, but that Linda and the lousy state of Oklahoma were doing it.

I called a few attorneys and posted some requests for help on the internet attorney locating services. Ryan (Paralegal) called me back, from (512) 472-2431. I spoke with him. I gave him some of this history. He told me that he would talk to one of the attorneys and they might call me back. Mr Kennon called me back and said that he would need to see the papers that they were sending to me in order to determine if he could help me. He asked me to fax them to him at (512) 472-0432. I told him that I would do it tomorrow (16Nov07).

(16Nov07) I went to where Jennifer works and faxed 45 pages of documents sent to me from OK to Mr. Kennon, of Slater & Kennon law offices. He had told me that he had a friend in Oklahoma that might be able to help me.

(22Nov07) Mr. Kennon called me and said that he couldn't help me. He said they didn't practice law in that corner of Oklahoma and because they didn't even know what the law was. He said that he didn't have anyone who could help me up in that area and he wasn't going to go over there. I was under the impression that he was angry at the court system in that section of Oklahoma and didn't want to be corrupted by it's intentional maligning of the law.

(26Nov07) Mr. Phil Olson (OK Attorney) called me and asked me what happened. I told him about Linda's dissatisfaction with my income. He asked me to write him a letter telling him what I wanted done. He also asked me to mail him everything that I had from the OK child support agency. Finally, he said when he received it he could tell me how much money it was going to cost me to get it fixed. I told him that I would do it.

Linda called and started telling me the usual things that I wasn't paying for anything, I wasn't taking care of them, and she had to go around looking for a job to support her children. I reminded her that she didn't have but one child left in her house. She started repeating her routine about how she was suffering and I was living it up. I reminded her that I had given her my car and that I had to ask people to take me places. I am stuck in this trailer all the time. She went on about how every time that she calls I'm out doing something with somebody (Aunt Celeste or Junior). I told her that I was helping to do things. She said she didn't care. Linda went on to tell me, once again, about Virginia getting kicked out of her apartment. She said that Trina had told Virginia that Linda had told Sandra (Public Housing Manager) about having over three families living in the same 3 bedroom house. She said that Virginia had jumped her. She d
