Abandoned child here. You reap what you sow. My dad tries now, but that ship sailed long ago. I'm not bitter or angry just indifferent. I try to respond, but he's just not a priority in my life.

My DS goes with his dad for the month of July. He lives here, but they go to San Diego for the month. I dislike the distance even then. I can't imagine anything more permanent.

based on anecdotal evidence, including my own, I think sometimes it's probably a good thing given the damage that parent can do if they stay in their lives. It's a worse/worst situation I think

I'm trying to understand a friend/former friend's? decision. OP, she doesn't sound like much of a "friend". She has highly questionable moral values and because she confides this stuff in you, she thinks you do too. Just FYI.I was questioning where to go with this friendship because I was shocked she really made the decision. It wasn't sinking in at that moment. She didn't confide anything in me. She said don't I deserve happiness in front of her son and daughter and me. FTR, she is clearly not my friend now.

She said YOU didn't deserve happiness, or she doesn't? Sorry, she was talking about herself. She said, "Don't I deserve happiness?" in front of her kids when referring to her move.

I would be worried with having this friend as a friend. And I certainly would no longer allow her to use me or my personal information again. I, personally, would be checking my credit if I were you. I doubt OP "allowed" this woman to use her info. She probably just did it. There is no way to stop her from doing it again if she so chooses. If I were the OP, I would definitely be keeping an eye on my accounts. If there is a way, I would also keep an eye on possible arrests, tickets, etc in her name.

UPDATE: I received a call this morning and basically the wording was my information had been tied to a legal matter. I call the phone number and she used MY cell phone number as HER contact phone number. Since then, they have got her correct number. Apparently she wrote a bad check and they rattled off other charges. She is wanted in court. I gave them her new last name, where she works, and verified she has the same cell phone number. I told them I hope you find her soon because she's about to move across the country! .................................................................................... If your kids are minors; almost 17 and 12? I'm trying to understand a friend/former friend's? decision. Within the space of a year she has divorced, married, and now is pregnant. She is going to move across the country and her ex husband does not agree that she can take the 12 year old so he stays here. She's moving for her new love. I know it's not for job opportunities. I'm trying real hard not to get judgy, but I know these kids well and she dotes on her youngest. Her son has lived with her mostly for the last year. I know, none of my business but I used to take care of this kid in the mornings and after school. He's had so much turmoil in his life the last couple of years. Maybe once he turns 13 he can have more of a say and he can move there (he wants to). I don't know, I'm just worried about him. NO, I AM NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING TO HER. Just in case, someone says the obvious. This is just a vent, trying to understand her perspective kind of thread. I got a call very somewhere to that. It was a scam

I got a call very somewhere to that. It was a scam I have got calls in the past where they were trying to find her but they would give me no information. They wanted her phone number. I did not give it to them and I would get their number and call or text her. It wasn't until the final call they told me what was going on. I gave them all of her information that I knew, so it's nothing on me if it ends up being a scam. ETA: I didn't give out date of birth, social security number, drivers license information, or other things that would scream scam to me.
