GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY

Four year ago when my mother passed I remember when we got home from the hospital my little brother asked me if he would have to go live with his father. I told him if he didn't want to then I would make sure that didn't happen. So once the funeral was over and things started to settle down again me and my grandmother figured we had to do something about the kids. At the time my brother was 15 and my youngest sister was 12. The first thing we did was apply for social security for the kids. When we got there the woman who was handling our case was acting like we were trying to commit fraud or something and me and my grandmother were looking all dumbfounded because we had no clue what the hell was going on. Anyway she told us that someone else was collecting moeny for the kids already. She told us their father had been getting money for them. We had no idea that was going on. So to make a long story short everything was temporarily turned over to me because I had filed for custody of the kids. As soon as he found out about that then all of a sudden he wanted to fight me for custody. It went on for an entire year. Finally we were having the last and final court date. As you can imagine there was a lot that happened in that year, including my little sister asking her father to please drop the custody suite because she knew he only wanted the money he was getting he didn't really want them. Needless to say he went off about that and he started saying that we were brainwashing her. He just didn't realize how intelligent and aware she was. He had no idea that his 12 year old daughter had a higher IQ than he did.

So the last court date comes around and my little brother informs me that he has decided to go live with his dad. I told him I was fine with that if that is what he wanted. He also gave me a letter to give to the judge. When we got to court I told the judge I was no longer fighting for custody of my little brother because he made his decision to stay with his father. I also explained that originally I didn't want to split them up but if it happens that way it would not be a problem. I assured the judge that they would still be able to keep in close contact with one another since their father did not live far from me at all, and they would still go to the same school district. Well to make a long story short(to late). I was awarded full custody of my little sister and their father was awarded full custody of my little brother. We both had liberal visitation and we agreed to that.

Now it is 4 years later and since then my little sister barely speaks to her father because he has been so mean and nasty to her. Once during the custody battle he told me that if he didn't get his kids then his daughter would be pregnant and his son would be in jail. So now whenever I see him I make sure to make comments about how well she is doing and how well she is being taken care of. He didn't want anything to do with her afterwards because she chose to stay with me. Eventhough he was being an asshole I still encouraged my sister to have a relationship with him because after all, he is still her father. One day she called me and told me he had said something so mean to her. I coud not believe he would let those words come out of his mouth. After that I told her that she didn't have to be bothered with him anymore if she didn't want to.

A few days ago my little brother called me and told me that social security was trying to stop sending his check. He is now 18 and he has a job but he is still in school. His dad told him that if his money didn't come and he couldn't give him the money he pays him every month for rent then he has to get out and he will call the cops on him if he has to. He also told him that if he doesn't like it he can kiss his ass. He said this as he is bending over to show him his ass, and just exactly where he can kiss it.

I tried so hard not to say it but I just had to say I told you so. I wasn't trying to make him feel bad or rub it in. I only said it because my little brother was the only one who could not see that his father only cared about the money he was getting. As soon as he though the well was running dry he didn't want to be bothered with him any more. Me and my other sister already talked to him and told him he is more than welcome to come stay with us. We both have the room for him and it wouldn't be any inconvenience, just an adjustment.
