A GREAT FATHER LOST IN THE SYSTEM

by Mrs. Lamkins
(Memphis, TN)

Well I'm a 32 yr old who has a great father that lives in Phoenix AZ. who has always paid his dues. But now my father is being stuck by my step mother and the system. You see my brother is a 24 yr old man with his own life, and my other brother is 18 and in the army and my father still has to pay child support, which means my step mother gets to sit back and collect a free meal ticket for nothing. I am very upset that no one cares about the good fathers who have paid their dues, he contacted the child support office to stop payments and it was denied. To me it could be for two reasons, either someone does not want to do their job, or they don't realize that my brothers are grown. I am a mother of 3 and if I was divorced I would want help from my husband also, but only for my children until they were old enough to care for themselves. I don't expect him to take of me for the rest of my life. I wished there was help for all those good fathers who have paid there dues. I know for a fact he has overpaid by now and still is paying. What do we do? love and concern for my father and other
fathers .........................................
