Just when I thought my life couldn't suck more in the me vs ex arena the IRS steps in to help him out.
Ever since I heard about the economic stimulus checks I've been hopeful that I could even up a few bills and do some work on my car without too much pain financially. I realized that since he has them more months of the year that I could not claim the kids, but I certainly could claim myself.
I've resigned myself to the fact that my tax refunds were going to be MIA for another year as well. Every year I am due a refund and every year my ex gets it to pay down that totally bogus child support bill that he conned a judge into saddling me with.
When I got home last night there was an envelope from the IRS. I dared to be a little excited. I opened it up expecting that I'd have a couple of nickels to rub together. Perhaps even treat myself to a little something nice.
Nope!!
Apparently the only stimulus I'm getting is the kind that makes me see red. They're sending my ex the check that was due to me. That's all that man needs is more stimulus in his pocket!
I'm bitter. I'm angry. I may just give up and go live in a box and start adopting too many cats. I'm too tired to go on but I don't have any safe place to rest either. I have absolutely no motivation to try to get ahead since every nickel I earn gets stolen from me and sent to him so he can travel the world and spend my money frivolously.
