I guess I still don't understand how in one post you seem so supportive....then within 2 days time you have moved out etc.....

I hope for these little girls' sake you all will straighten up and get your acts together.

YIKES!!!!!!!
What is really scary is that there are two innocent little girls being pulled in too many directions

Maybe he went and searched a few of her posts and didn't like what he saw?

I wonder how long it will take before the webmaster pulls Rijos
post. i feel it is totally inappropiate for him to post that. This is not our problem and should be kept between you guys. Everyone involved needs help. Especially those poor girls.

That may be, but why can she post but he can't? I didn't see anybody saying that her posts about him should be deleted. Why was that ok?

I don't see that he posted anything "wrong". Maybe a little personal to some, but certainly not anything that would be against posting guidelines.
I would think pulling that post would probably raise alot of censorship questions.
He was polite and just explaining a situation. Plain and simple. Would I want those things posted about me. Nope, but that's the risk you take when you choose to expose certain aspects of your life in a public forum. JMHO

Wow.

Rijos, I know you probably don't care, but from the info you listed I can figure out a lot of things because I live in the area. You may want to be a little more careful (and I mean that sincerely).

I was thinking the same thing...you may think no one on here knows you, but you may have DISers on your same block in your hometown and since you had your full name posted on the website you're not anonymous anymore. Custody of children (minors) and names of those with alcohol problems in Al-Anon shouldn't be discussed on a public forum (IMO).

Not to mention a few corporate executives who might take offense. Um, but I wouldn't know who they were yeah, right! Be careful!

.

No offense....But I can't imagine getting "Financial Advice" from someone whose own finances are in such an uproar. And..........You rode a bike 11 miles to work...in Florida heat? Did you then shower?

Wow...you stop reading this thread for one day and look what you find. Lots of holes in this story if you ask me. And just goes to show you that you that it's really hard to trust everything you read on message boards....

I feel terrible for these kids. What a mess the adults in their lives have created around them...

 

[LanaJayne]

I was reading some of Darlene's previous posts and am really surprised at how much information about these children she has shared with strangers. I would be very upset if I was the father of these girls. It also seems that their mother did miss them.
I'm sure Darlene cared for these kids, but TMI for a caregiver to share. JMHO.

Taking godkids on surprise quick visit to MK tomorrow before we visit their mom in Arnold Palmer Hospital in Orlando. She is upset about missing Christmas, etc... she will be in hospital till atleast Feb.1st on bed rest with baby... so I wanted to surprise her with photos of the girls with Santa or a Mickey Dressed like Santa... does MK offer this?? If so how much and where... the girls are already going to be in the cute Pooh/Piglet sweats I got yesterday for them so I've love to take pics in these. Any suggestions... if not Santa then where? Do they do Holiday type photos? Their mom is aching for a photo and visit... it would so cool to do this for her. (She's been in since before Thanksgiving).

I feel bad for Darlene. I hope she gets the help she needs. If I am not mistaken , she had more than one miscarriage. That can be devastating to a woman who desperately wants children and I can see where she may have become delusionaly attached to these children, considering them her own and then coming to a family oriented web site and reaching out to all of us.

I hope she gets help. I really do.

And those children. No child should have to live being handed back and forth because the adults in their lives have issues.

Funny how this thread started out as a simple support thread for a fellow DISer who was in a car contest. This thread has done a complete 180...it is more suited for Jerry Springer now. Talk about airing "dirty laundry" on a public forum. I don't care what happens to the adults. I don't know the situation, don't care to. But I sincerely hope those 2 little girls will not be traumatized by the selfish acts of these adults.

P.S. I think I would keep my "dirty laundry" a little more private than sharing it w/a bunch of strangers...no matter how great we DISers may be!

 

[2angelsinheaven]

I left the car Monday after I called to talk to my fiance and was unable to reach him. I will not share details because like the other posters put it is not an appropriate place to post such info. I will tell you that I did not claim the girls where mine or that they were abandoned, the newspaper used that word and it was NOT a quote. All I have done for the past three days is worry about where the girls are and try to put my house and life back into order. Rijos failed to mention that he up and left while we were not home one night leaving me with unpaid bills, etc. I am hurt that because Florida Today used a word incorrectly that he is not only moved out and removed me from the girls lifes but also that he came here to my online "home" and posted derogarory things about me. I think we should ask the MOD to close this thread and I will be back online sometime this weekend... till then I would like to thank everyone for their support. My DIS friends know the truth.
I am not concerned that I didn't win, I was in it to have transportation so that I could continue to stay home and take care of the girls, bring them places, etc... so now that they are gone I do not have this need anymore.

This is a member of Darlene's family posting using her name. I'm sure she won't be happy with me doing this but I had to after reading all the posts.
Darlene is a giving person. She gives to all in her life, sometimes too much. She gave to the girls and to Joe when he needed it. Joe it's lousy you left the way you did....especially after all Darlene & Jake did do for you and your girls. You would not have found the lawyer you did w/o her help, you would not have won the girls w/o her help, you would not have been able to work your job w/o her help..etc. Darlene & Jake let you into their home, life, and hearts. You walked out on them leaving them high & dry after they helped you when you needed it! I'm not saying you should have stayed, but you should have been a better person about it. Sneaking out in the middle of the night is a cowards way to do it. By the way, how come you didn't pay Darlene's sister for watching your girls while Darlene was gone?? You skipped out on her, what did she have to do w/ your beef between Darlene & you?? Nothing. She took care of the girls so you could go to work and you didn't pay her for that because you were too busy plotting your move out. That is wrong Joe! Not the Joe we meet. You really disappointed us!
Your own lawyer even said you wouldn't have won your case for the girls w/o Darlene's & Jake's support. This is how you repay someone for being a friend??
Neither side is right or wrong in this situation. It's just really sad to see 2 children are caught in the middle. You took their primary care giver away w/o warning. That will effect them... Just like things their mom did will effect them.... Was it worth it???
Darlene, we are proud of you and support you. We are there for you no matter what......
