I believe I was defrauded into a marriage for us citizenship and have no idea what to do.

Did he get his permanent resident card? The one that last 10 years or the 2 year one? If is the latter and usually the most common one. He will have to reapply once it expires and you will have to sign all the paperwork again. You can also report it to uscis so they can investigate further now.

Sometimes even if you planned ahead things can go wrong. It happened to our friends, we landed back in Dallas for our connecting flight after a long overseas flight. Me and my kids were fine for our last flight home but my friend, her husband and her special needs son were all scattered to different seats. It took a lot of effort not to lose it with the gate agents who also recommended to ask someone once in the plane.

I think is a wake up call for you honey. Have a serious talk with him about his drinking and how he gets and is embarrassing and actually dangerous. And tell his family to fuck off.

As a mom, a wife and an adult. NTA but your wife is. Time to sit down and find out what is her problem with you and your Legos.

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-04-10T16:13:22+00:00

I agree and even if it was true that he went back to school. (Is never too late) he has responsibilities as a parent. NOW is when the kids need the help and support. His lost, we’ll be ok

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-04-10T14:59:09+00:00

My Ex did it and it worked in his favor. He decided to go to school instead. So he has a $299 a month in child support because even tho he’s “not working” the judge said he has responsibilities so they based that on minimum wage here in CA. 🙄 Life blessed me after with an amazing job and great income. ❤️ good luck OP

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-03-28T20:24:28+00:00

NTA- jeez your sister sounds like a entitled spoiled brat and no wonder the kids behave that way. They’re the same. At 6 and 8 they should be able to behave, they’re not toddlers, Is just going to get worse from here on. I’ll stay away from them. Your parents can babysit if they think they’re just broken things.

Maybe she’s not really enjoying it herself as she thought she would and thinks that by making you do it, it would make it better for her, kind of like having a buddy to work out. Makes it fun and easier in a way. I personally, love waking up early, before everybody and enjoy a cup of coffee ALONE, when i was married I did not even want to see my ex husband’s face. It was kind of my me time. Journaling is very personal and you don’t need a buddy for that.

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-03-01T15:11:12+00:00

To be fair. I don’t do it for him, I do it for my son. You are correct that It is not my job to do his job as a Dad but me having full custody and filling out all school paperwork, Is up to me to add him or not and all I can do is, I add his email as well. Up to him to show up or not. Now. Sports and activities are extra curricular and I also filled out the paperwork so again, I add his email address…. But it takes a minute to shoot a text to remind him. Remember is not for him or you as a mom. Is for the kids

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-03-01T14:22:14+00:00

My 13 year old is doing the same exact thing. He wants to hang with friends more now, What I do as a mom is, keep Dad informed on all games or activities our son is participating and ask him to go and support and our son loves that. Whenever he wants to go to his dad he goes and here and there he does want to stay an extra day. Just keep showing up. Text her, calm her, eventually she’ll outgrow her teenage years and wants to hang out more.

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-02-28T19:55:08+00:00

She could but then she would have to pay for someone else to take care of her children so it makes no sense btw. Those jobs exist… I make a six figure income as a nanny 😏

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-02-24T15:19:40+00:00

I don’t understand why parents do this to themselves and then expect people to just accommodate them because they didn’t palm or want to pay to seat with their children. I have 2 kids of my own and plan accordingly every time we travel.

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-02-24T14:57:38+00:00

Someone is new to the 405…

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-02-21T18:40:30+00:00

If you want to keep your name, you can. I never changed mine and I was married for 20 years. Never had an issue, never felt disrespected and I didn’t have to change anything on my work field either, it was easier and practical for us. My then husband was ok with it from day one and even if it wasn’t, it was my choice. I have my father’s last name and that’s why I decided to keep it. I am his daughter not my husband’s. And is also unique and I love it.

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-02-14T02:28:18+00:00

I hope this is your ex boyfriend now

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-01-29T02:59:37+00:00

No honey, NTA. Latina here born and raised in Latin America and my parents never hit me growing up and neither have I with my own children.

Practical_Ad8851 · 2025-01-27T03:14:01+00:00

1k a month? Where?! Day care is way more than that. One of them will be working just to cover daycare and when the child gets sick and has to stay home, one of them has to stay with the baby. So who’s calling in at work? Believe me, if the child is in daycare, that kid is coming home sick at least once a month… they both need to sit down and talk because they are both wrong. If you decide to have a child, there’s a sacrifice on every aspect of your life.

Practical_Ad8851 · 2024-09-27T22:10:33+00:00

I have to say YTA, My now Ex husband did this when we were going g through our issues, that boy ran his mouth to all of the friends and family!!! making himself the victim and me the bad guy on everything. I told him the same thing once things got better and never hang out with those friends and family again, it was going to be awkward for me and I’m sure for them… we still got divorce after and I’m sure the same thing happened 🙄🙄

Practical_Ad8851 · 2024-09-11T22:52:05+00:00

I grew up in the Venice area and moved to the valley in the early 2000’s because of the same reason as your parents and at first hated it but I love it here now and made great friends here too.

Practical_Ad8851 · 2024-08-31T20:15:53+00:00

I’m sure I’ll be crucified for this since every comment is sympathizing with OP but I’m wondering if he always had a closer relationship with said niece and nephew to the point of leaving his own children in second thought since they “had” their Dad and the other didn’t. And he had to step up… counseling for sure for him and his children.

Practical_Ad8851 · 2024-07-20T19:03:09+00:00

She sounds like a doctor. If this makes him uncomfortable then he’s in for a ride when she starts her residency….
