What did my mom mean when she said" and she stares off into space for a few seconds,then comes outta it?"?

We Answered:

sounds like you are having small seizures, what is called petit mal seizures and they happen as a result of the increasing pressure on your brain, that is why the doctor said you need a shunt to drain excess fluid from your skull. Sure hope mom follows up and does it, or you could have permanent brain damage.

why is it that non custodial parents hate paying more in child support when their income increases?

Wow you really are a wonderful person for doing all that. I comend you for that.
But I would have to guess and say he is probably upset that he doesn't have the kids for one. Oh sure he has visitation but still you have them and from what you say he sometimes becomes a babysitter for you. I am not stiking up for him but he probably feels that you got the best part and that is the kids. So if you are doing so darn good why do you need more from him. I'd bet there are still feelings about the marriage falling apart and everything else. I am sure it is lonely be cast out. Which in a sense he is. You have the one thing that came out of the marriage the children.
There is probably not much you are going to do about it. Yes he feels sorta left out until he gets his visits or you need a babysitter. He is just going to have to learn to deal with it. It sucks for both of you. But you will probably need to go ahead and go to a lawyer and get this done. The children come first. I would talk to him one last time and say look just be upfront with me and explain why you need it and see what he says. Tell him you aren't there to cause a fight or argue.
