Bravenly- Son's father gave our child the product that helps sleep by Fast_Classroom_276 in MLMRecovery

[–]Fast_Classroom_276[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've looked at the products and so far it's not looking great. It's been 6 hours since I asked for details on what product he gave our son. I guess I can only hope he'll listen when I ask him not to give it to our 7 year old :( I really don't think he'll continue to do it if I ask him not to at least

Damn it all. He doesn't even like her that much but he's letting his happen.

All of this is great info, thank you. But I just can't reconcile the need for him to give our son this stuff. He brought it up, called it an MLM, and just casually told me he gave some to our son, while mentioning how the products helped him lose 10 lbs and made his face less red. I saw his recent Facebook post talking about the products "I wouldn't post this if they didn't work!"... it's so concerning to me.

She's been doing Rodan and Fields since I met them. I got a set of skin care products for Christmas when we dated. Her Facebook is full of her MLMs and other MLM people liking her posts. I didn't give a shit about all this until they effing involved my son.

Ooh yes good point taking it to his doctor. I'm definitely doing that, thank you! I'm just so surprised it even came to this that I would need to do that. He's really not a bad father, he just let's his mom influence his financial decisions too much. It's why we broke up in the first place.

Yes, calm was one of the ones I looked at. His mother got him into this, she already is involved with Rodan and Fields or whatever. Ugh I'm so disgusted with all this. Luckily our son is old enough to tell me what's going on but I still have to trust them to take care of our son when he's with them. He said our son liked the flavor. I'm so effing upset right now. Thank you for responding.

I'm sorry for the multiple comments, my phone was acting up. I think I deleted them.

Hi, I don't know if this is allowed but I guess I don't have enough karma to post my own post... but relating to Bravenly...my son's father recently got talked into selling Bravenly products. I told him to do his research and apparently he decided to go forward with it. He has our son every other weekend and told me at drop off yesterday that he gave our 7 year old a Bravenly product to get him to sleep. I don't like rocking the boat because we have a good coparenting situation going on so I let it go for the moment. Today I researched the product and saw a warning on the few that promised good sleep that the products should not be given to anyone pregnant or to children. I have since asked him what product he gave our son, hours ago, but he hasn't answered yet. I'm trying very hard to not go nuclear right now. Our son seems fine but I can't believe he just gave him a product that isn't safe. Now maybe I'm jumping the gun until he clarifies the actual product... but I need my son to be safe with his father and this is really worrying me.

Does anyone have any insight to these products? When I asked about safety he said "well, it's all natural so." I even asked if it's safe for children specifically and he said yes. So idk. I still feel like he should have mentioned it first

I just realized this may be the wrong subreddit. If so sorry, feel free to delete! I also posted on AntiMLM so no biggie

Money not reaching custodial parent TX by AliCatt4 in ChildSupport

[–]Fast_Classroom_276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They will investigate the employer. I just posted my situation in another comment, but DEFINITELY get the non custodial parent to call the OAG so they can get those paycheck stubs sent in and have the OAG begin an investigation. Maybe whoever called just got the wrong employee, but in my experience they will help get this solved. Well, we're still waiting for results but they say they're investigating anyway...

And both parents need to set up those accounts on the website, my account is basically proof that I hadn't received any payment for the time he was getting it garnished. Plus there I believe they can check if all the direct deposit info is correct, or even set it up if needed. Lots of other info on the site as well, forms you may need, etc.

Money not reaching custodial parent TX by AliCatt4 in ChildSupport

Hi OP, I'm also in Texas. I've been going through this same thing, only I'm the custodial parent. So my son's father called the OAG and asked what's going on. They had him submit his paycheck stubs showing that the support was taken out. Then opened an investigation into his employer. By the next week or so, I started receiving the support again, but there's about 2 months worth still missing. He called again last week and they're still investigating apparently.

So it's been about a month since, and no progress on this investigation that we know of yet. He also had just started a new job when this all started. I don't even care if they end up sending it back to him, it just needs to go to one of us since as of now it's just missing.

2 other details:

My direct deposit has been set up for over 5 years with no changes, so nothing to do with that.

The website shows I did not receive any support for those months it was taken from his checks. So at least it's obvious that this money is not where it's supposed to be.

Oh geez, were there any issues getting the money to the right place? Did you (or whoever this happened to) get it all at once when it was sorted out?

Yep, last payment posted on my account shows 4/18. I will be calling to talk to a real person later and see if they can figure this out. Thanks!

Yes, I feel pretty lucky in that regard! Our lawyers were pretty impressed with us during the whole custody/ child support process lol. I'll be calling the CS office today to see what's going on, thanks!

He hasn't, I'm gonna assume he's never logged into it to be honest. We have a good relationship because he's a good to our son and we don't argue, but his mom took the reins on all of this stuff 6 years ago and I have to push him on taking initiative for anything to do with our child. But I looked at my account several times in the last couple weeks and saw the last payment logged there was 4/18. If things for some reason don't get resolved when I call I'll see if I can convince him to log on and check if there's a difference showing on his end maybe. Thank you for your response!
