August 23, 2009Today is such a hectic day! I woke up at 3 to start my route since its Sunday pre-pack. It such a pain putting two papers into one. I nearly ran out of space in my car. I couldn’t put stuff in the trunk because of all my stuff that I had stuffed in since my wife and her dad decided to kick me out. That’s the other regrets I had. When we moved into that apartment they didn’t put my name on the rent. Half way done with my route my two front tires popped. I sat there and waited till nearly 6 till Mike could come help. We made so many mistakes that I swear I wouldn’t have done such a bad job. We finished about 7 and mike drive me back home to sleep. Called: 9:58am ask if I want to come to the divorce signing. If I come then I must agree to her terms. I said that I dont want to come if I have to sign immeidately. I can go if she want me to go if I can get a copy and talk with the lawyer about it. But she refuse. She want me to sign the mutual agreement of divorce right there on the spot. She dont want to pay the attorney (or who ever she is hiring) to come back another day to watch me sign so I must sign on the spot.
Well back to the daily life! Today was very long since I don’t work during the day. Usually I watch my kid during the day so the day flies by so fast. Around 11 Mike came home and took me to my car dead in Elridge on Marine Dr to put on his backup stud tires. I know its illegal to put these tires on but I did it anyways because I need to drive to Midas to get my car fix. I first tried going to Les Scwab but they were close so Midas was the only options. I got two tires replace and oil change for $178 dollars. $10 oil change WOOT! So cheap! I love this place! By noon I was up and running. After pulling out of the parking lot I called Al. He was down at the Bellingham Bay (waterfront). I headed down there and met up with him at the Waterfront. I took a good walk with Al talking about life! I just walk and discuss with him what is the best dog to get if I get custody of Trieu. I was thinking of getting a small puppy for him. His first was “mommy” and his second word is “pup”. Hahhh …ahhhhhhh. I walked with Al routhly till 3 and we went home. I went directly to bed. I slept till like 5 and woke up. Damn the day is so lonnnng without my son. I got up and head to James Herman on Lincoln St close by Dave house. James Herman is a fella who worked in Vietnam for 7 years that Dave want me to meet. Its so cool listening to his Vietnamese. Though he is 66+ years old he speaks pretty good Vietnamese. I could understand nearly everything he said. Well anyways beside the chitchat I was there to fix his computer. His computer is running Windows Me. He thought he was having a virus problem, but the problem is due to his computer being very old and not supporting the new technology of website. Therefore we schedule around 3 tomorrow so I can go help them buy a new computer at Bestbuy. After leaving James house I went to Fred Myers on lakeway to pick up some money. Since I spent 178 bucks on those tires my dad giving me some money to support myself for the next two weeks. Man if lawyers aren’t so darn expensive I wouldn’t have to nick and pick like this. Because I care for my son so much I have to watch what I am spending so my son get a chance to get out of the abuse condition that he is in. After picking up my money I went directly to WECU on Meridian St close by Broadway. I deposited the money and went directly home. So here I am making food to eat and now typing this journal.
Roughtly around 9:41 a phone call from Tran threated that if I dont sign the papers she wont let me see my son anymore. First time she called she said why did I say that she as a new bf. She asked not to put her name in any of my blogs. So I decided to remove her name I tape recorded the conversation becuase I was scared that she would make false report to place that I threat her so its for my protection.
Roughtly at 9:50 or so she called back that she will make me a copy and want me to sign if. If I dont sign it then she will never let me isit my kid. If I sign it then she will make paper works to allow me to visit my son. Threats like this hurts! In the background I can hear her hitting my son but theres nothing I can do. My lawyer advise me to ignore as much as I can so I’m listening. Sadly this time I was in bathroom using number 2. Couldn’t grab the tape recorder as I didnt wipe my butt yet.
During the converstation she even stated that if I dont agree with her request she’s going to hit my son. She asked why can’t we end this in a peaceful relationship as ex-wife and ex-husband. She’ll do paperworks so I can visit my son if I agree to full custody to her.
I just got tired listening to her threat and the pain of hearing my son crying in the background That’s whats wrong with the government system. Women can say what ever they want and men would get arrested with out proof. But then when mem say that women abuse their son no investigation or even police care. Is it when my son is dead or beaten half to dealth then someone would do about it. Listening to the abuse over the phone really hurt but I had to be strong and hung up on my wife to not hear the crying of my son. Its not the cry of hungar, not the cry like normal babies cries for things, but the cry for help . I raised my son everyday and know every cry he has. This cry is the same cries I gave out when I left behind in elementary. I was lucky because Ms. Huhta was there for me. Sadly I hunt up but cant be there for my son.
So far through this divorce its not going nice. The beat down of the heart hurts. Also with my wife trying to beat me down with all her phone calls and threats beating my son; abusing his brain; and my mental stability really hurt me. But for the support of the friends i made over the last few days such as Bishop Chambers and Al it had help me realize that I gotta be strong and try to go for what I believe is right.
