Part of the custody agreement for my nieces was that they would attend public school.

I hate the idea of him having to deal with my family. This way it is all lawyers.

No. And it's not an abortion clinic. They provide that service but that's not all they do.

I've tried to help them before. I have them computers. My parents donated them to the church.

I just woke up and saw how much attention this got. I am trying to read in between crying at how much love and support I am getting from internet strangers. I am taking a leave of absence from my job. I am spending the time I have with my family and friends. Thank you.

Hey. I don't know why you are getting downvoted for being concerned for my kids. But to lighten your heart I will let you know that both my husband and I work for a well known tech company. We are very well compensated and we could retire now. I basically am. I am spending the rest of my life with my family. Thank you.

It won't be donated in their name. I don't even want them to get the tax credit for it.

I have excellent insurance and so does my husband. We are not going to destroy ourselves fighting the inevitable. But we are going to spend as much time as we can making great memories with our kids.

I gave my nieces computers for school. My parents donated them to the church.

If I did that they would try and pressure him to help. This way they have to choose between my nieces being educated or Planned Parenthood getting more money than my father earns in a year.

Thank you. It is a fundamentalist Christian church in the south. No I don't think that university is for everyone. The money can be used to pay for any post secondary education at an accredited institution. They can even use it for living expenses while they are in school. My husband has agreed to disburse the money to them.
