I managed to get this screenshot off of Facebook’s On This Day or whatever it’s called and I love it.

He was so little here, so young, and this was his very first AAC device! He’s since gotten a new model.

A voluntary child support payment was made for my youngest son on the third of November.

Normally payments post after the end of business the day of My Payments and are disbursed to the family the next day or the next business day, meaning a turnaround of between one to three days if the payment is paid on a Friday. I’ve always been fine with how the Texas child support office has done this so far, even though I don’t like continuing to recieve “voluntary” payments from the mother of the man who raped me (have I covered that in here? maybe I should, if I haven’t) now that she knows her son has raped me, has responded to that by blocking me on Facebook after following me in a creepy and parasocial way, wanting me to “get over” what happened to her and marry her son — my rapist — “now that my husband is dead”, and… continuing to make the payments I honestly did not expect her to continue to make. But I am still waiting for the payment made on the third of the month to be disbursed to me with us now being on the seventh of the month, and the “chief ombudsman”‘s half-assed e-mails “apologizing” for the delay in this are doing absolutely nothing productive. Her name is Stephanie Neely and I’ve happily pointed her out in here before for being the most incompetent at her job, and I’ll keep pointing her out in here for as long as it takes.

I’ve caused eight investigations into their office by the National Child Support Agency. I’m happy to continue.
