Yep, Darlene did good alright.


I don't think she will be replying anytime soon though, as she is no longer typing on my PC. The girls she spoke of, whom she publically stated were abandoned are my two daughters, I most certainly never abandoned them and have only been away from them for a few hours at a time while I work. The home we lived in together (yes together) was paid for by me. I am sorry to break this out ... but the reason she probably left was because I guess I recently caused some controversy by removing her from my service as a babysitter becauase of her very public announcment that her nre "Family" was abandoned. People, the girls were not abandoned ... they have never been abandoned.

And no ... I didn't kick her out ... but I did pack up and leave.

There is more ... much more ... but I am sick and tired of having her refer to my daughters as her girls. Not my fault that God didn't bless her with her own, at least alive. There is something mentally questionable going on here. Regardless ... I hope her the best, she should put some money into her van and chevy sitting in the yard.

But yeah ... I took my PC back ... so I don't think she will get to read your decent and probably unappreciated congrats and support.

Are you saying YOU ARE the FATHER to these girls?? Am I reading this correctly?? Are you "Joe"??

I'm really confused too! Why did she leave the car?

I don't think Darlene ever said the girls were abandoned by their mother AND father, just the mother. And she always said she was just taking care of them. I hope Darlene is OK.

Wow! This is better than Jerry Springer!

Get your popcorn and 3-d glasses. I'm already dizzy.

Too much drama for me I'm afraid. Good luck whomever you all are.

Characters:
Darlene
Chernabog70 (Darlene's fiance)
Rijoh (Joe, father of the girls and friend of Darlene)
Possibly last person who posted as Rijoh (Mother of the girls, soon-to-be exwife of Joe, former friend of Darlene)


Rijoh is the name that Joe, the girl's father, uses. Do a search on his name and you will see he has posted several times even mentioning his soon-to-be ex-wife. Darlene is NOT the soon-to-be ex-wife.

Possibly Joe's soon-to-be ex-wife, used the computer. When she came to post, she was logged in with Joe's user name "Rijoh." Here is the story of how Darlene was given temporary custody of the children with Joe: Here's the story of the custody:

Joe is a friend of Darlene as was his wife. They all lived together in an apartment until the wife moved out and according to Darlene abandoned the children and got involved in drugs and was unstable. Darlene has been a permanent caretaker for the children. The mother was given only supervised visitation.

Edited to add: After re-reading the post by Rijah, maybe it was indeed Rijah (Joe) and not his wife. I don't think Darlene ever claimed that Joe abandoned his children only that his ex-wife did. But I can see how he might have taken offense when the children were referred to as "abandoned."

This is how I see it....the dad is now angry because maybe in the midst of this competition Darlene used the word abandoned in order to gain support for winning the car for herself.

This could be a Lifetime television movie!

If I have the story straight, then I'm having a real problem with this new poster. Am I right in the way I'm reading it? Here's what I have seen:

Darlene's best friend made some bad choices in her life, ended up walking out on her two little girls (and had another baby who died, after she went her own way?) and her husband (who is this new poster?).

Darlene quit her job to take care of the two little girls, and moved them AND their dad into a house with her and her fiance. Said fiance worked two jobs so that Darlene could give the little girls a sense of security, girls' dad also worked. They shared expenses in some way. Darlene also helped her parents (?) with stuff they needed, and helped the girls' father gain custody of them.

Darlene needed transportation for the little girls (one or both of them have some physical problems and need medical care?) and for her parents, so when she saw the opportunity for winning a car by sitting in it, she decided to try for it. She wasn't able to outgross a teenage boy, so she didn't win the car.

Somewhere along this road, the girls' father has decided to be insulted by something that was said, so he has withdrawn himself, his children, and his computer from Darlene's life.

Bear in mind, I don't know any of these people, but I have seen Darlene post about the little girls and how much she loves (loved?) them. I'm just so sure (NOT) that removing them from her care has done them so much good. Again, NOT.

What am I missing?

I think your summation looks like what's going on.

I mean no disrespect in saying this, however it just proves the fact that you can't take everything people say on a public message board as truth. Sometimes it's pretty easy to get wrapped up in something and then feel let down when you know the truth.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

Okay, I am really confused now. Why did Darlene leave the car? All of the parties involved in this situation has seemed to disappear from the DIS.

[edited out of obvious concerns]

I'll make this short.

1. Dad is fianancially secure, emotionally, and a nice guy. Loves his two daughters.

2. Mom has been threw an emotionally rough time, but came through it in the end.

3. Darlene will not be around for a while, or rather until she finds a new internet source.

The honest reason for this series of posts had to do with a search I performed on her while looking for a specific thread about the car. I found a few things I was not happy about. That is all.


Talk about ""Hand that rocks the cradle." I have edited a few things. Thank you all for that point about security. Wish your friend some luck, and as always ... my children are and will be fine.

 

[my3kids]

Ones' whole life on an internet bulletin board over a car worth, at most, less than a thousand dollars.

I don't know what is going on. It was fun having someone on the DIS in a big contest, with daily updates and an outpouring of support. I hope all turns out well for everyone.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

I wish everyone the best. I hope everything turns out, however it may be.

 

[William Jefferson Clinton]

Wow Rijos. That was a very interesting story and you added so many pieces to this puzzle. I took the opportunity to check out the board you listed on your profile homepage and did a search on all of your posts. For the most part you seem to be sincere and have your convictions. You gave a glimpse into yourself when responding to some of the religious threads over there. All in all you seem like a stand-up guy and I have no reason not to believe you. If this story you tell is indeed true, then our little Darlene really does need some help and I hope she gets it. I also hope that this will be the only remaining bump in the road for those little girls.

I really would like to hear from Darlene or her fiance about this. I wish you well.

 

[Catzeyes]

The whole mess is getting too creepy for me.

 

[stinkerbelle]

I think all this is entirely TMI for a message board.

besides...my eyes hurt from rolling so much.
