And Judy didn't hear from Tina, either.

This year was the first in 18

I did not hear from, much less see

my boys

for thanksgiving.

I suppose, but don't know for sure

this is about money, and between Jason and me.

So, Jason lets me know I'm an irresponsible father

because I won't give him his mothers alimony money.

And, as a matter of fact, after twenty years

at $25 a week, twenty six thousand,

the way I make it,

she and I are even, at least.

"If you’re short, get it from your mother."

"I can't believe you're fuckin over your own children."

"It's not your money, it's your mothers."

"Are you going to give it to me, or not?"

"No"

Jason hung up.

It'd be my guess I'd be playing the role of the bad guy

in my children’s eyes

and so I guess this is just the price for doing what you think is right

while having to deal with crazy people.

I accept that, but I don't have to like it.
