My wife's going to take care of the kids while i'm gone. As far as making my ex an excuse, thats not what i was implying. My ex needed help really bad and since she carried my child i made it a point to spend most of my time trying to help her and take care of my child. But i was burnt many, many times. Yeah i could have went out and got my license reinstated then, but it was very important to me to make sure the she was taken care of. Its not her fault that my license was suspended nor was it her fault that it took me so long to get my license back. The part that was so depressing was all the help and money i put into trying to help her to get better. Between her stealing money from me, and spending money to pay bills because she blew, lost or had her's stolen on a monthly basis, it was really hard to take care of my responsiblities. It wasnt all done for the sake of her, it was done for the sake of my daughter. Now that I have moved on from that mess and I have custody of my child, I can focus more on all the responsiblities that I couldn't back then. I've never been the type of person to play the blame game. I should have taken care of these things before she ever came into my life. The fact is, I should have continued to make myself better and still tried to help her the best I could. Even though she hasn't changed as of today. I wasn't making an excuse, I was simply explaining why it took me so long to get my license back. Yeah "I screwed up" by not paying my tickets on time. At that age I thought the ability to drive was a right not a privilege. Thank you for your reply, though. It was very inciteful.
