Another REPO for KRYPTO

It's 7 am and this reporter has a bad case of insomnia and I find myself in front of the computer watching the sunrise over Metropolis. So here I am turning out another breaking news story. Wait a minute, does it classify as breaking news when the story has occurred once before. Let me set the story straight on the first occasion Krypto had a car repossessed. I was getting ready to leave for work and on the way out the door I asked Krypto if all the bills were paid and she said "Yes". I asked her if everything was current and she said "Yes." I headed out the door off to the friendly skies with a feeling that everything was alright and that we were doing ok financially. Three days later I landed around midnight and approx 2 hours later I pulled into the driveway in my airport clunker car. The first thing that caught my eye was Krypto was sitting on the front porch with superboy( he wasn't even two yet) in her lap. I know your thinking oh how cute she waited up for her husband. This is the only occasion that I remember that my ex wife ever waited up for me to get in from a trip. The next question you might ask was what was superboy doing up at 2 am in the morning. I then noticed a green minivan parked in the carport. My first thought was that our car was in the shop and this was a loaner vehicle( well that's what I was hoping for). As I was getting my luggage out of the trunk I asked Krypto where the car was. This is the car I bought brand new off the lot at $200.00 over the invoice and had less than a year left to pay it off and have no car payments. Krypto said quietly "They came and got it." My response was "What do you mean they came and got it?" Krypto stated "The bank came and got it." I asked "Why would the bank come and take the car if were current on the payments?" Krypto lied to me and said we were a month behind on our payments. I told Krypto that banks do not repo cars for being a month behind without sending notices or calling. Krypto lied again and said she didn't receive anything in the mail or receive any phone calls from the bank. The truth of the matter was that Krypto hadn't made a car payment in four months and I didn't have the money to get the car loan current. I truly do not now how I kept from losing it that night and I am so thankful that I didn't do something stupid like beat some honest answers out of her(this being the real reason SB was in hr lap...a shield). That was the fork in the road for me and I struggled so hard with the decision to leave. I knew the only way I could ever provide a better life for my children was by leaving not by staying. Lois and I do provide a better life for them when they are with us and they can see how the different decisions their parent's make affect them and their separate families. My only hope is that they wont have the same mental issues as Krypto and not see anything wrong with Krypto's actions.
Now fast forward from 2002 to 2008. Krypto is remarried to an honest guy, they have a one year old infant, and Krypto has just started a new job. At some point in the night I am assuming a repo driver showed up and repossessed Krypto's minivan (not the same green one from 2002) leaving her without a way to get the children to school or herself to her second day of work. That's right she has to call in on her second day of work at her new job. I can't imagine what is going through the minds of SB and SG. They weren't old enough to remember or understand what happened in 2002, but I cant imagine them not sensing somethings wrong this time around. How do you go about explaining to your children that you blew your families money on who knows what and because of it you neglected to pay your car payments and lost the family car. She didn't do a very good job last time it happened and I'm sure her new husband received the standard Krypto line "I don't know." That's the answer she gave to me when I asked her first "Why didn't you make the car payment" and second "What did you do with the money that was supposed to go towards the car payment?" This also became the standard line from SB any time he got in trouble and was asked why he did something. The phrase "I don't know" is no longer allowed to be used in our household.
The other not-breaking news is that Krypto has another warrant out for her arrest. Does any one out there want to take a wild guess what it's for. I'll give you a hint it has something to do with money and not following through with a promise. Her warrant is for Issuance Of Bad Check or Theft by Check. Krypto already has seven other previous convictions for the same offense and this will make eight. This is the example she sets for the super kids a life of lies, and criminal offenses. You know her mother and father are so proud.
I have always said that Krypto is a financial time bomb waiting to happen. One of these days the mess made from one of her self implosions will not be so easy to clean up. One of these days she will cross a line and there will be no one there to enable her or to help her and she will be held accountable for her actions. She not only destroys her future but also every one that has cared for her or currently does. She will take any one down with her that is standing to close. She once ruined my credit, let me go to jail for crimes she committed, has ruined her credit, has ruined her new husband's credit, has ruined her mother's credit, pawned her own wedding ring that she designed, has caused a foreclosure, two repossessions and is suspected of stealing money from her own parents.
What gets me is that people say yeah, but she's a good mother. My own Father is one of these idiots who thinks I'm a bad father because I moved to another state and sticks up for her. How does putting yourself and your secret vices before everything else constitute being referred to as a good mother. Why does society move so quickly to label mothers as the rightful heirs to the children and viewed as saints while we vilify the fathers and view them as an evil necessity for child support. It amazes me how far society's views change and swing when we try to correct for previous wrongs. It was not so long ago that women's rights was at the forefront of change in this country. Before women had no rights and in cases of divorce the men pretty much received everything right down to the children if they so desired. There is no question that that system was seriously flawed and was in desperate need of correction. But how far do we go the other way to make up for previous injustices. Take for example the Presidential election this year and Sen. Barack Obama. We all know that slavery was an evil and oppressive act that diminished the human spirit in the black race. Many wonderful and brave men like Dr. King gave their lives to the cause of civil rights. But how far will we go to correct those injustices. There have been polls and studies showing that white males are supporting Sen. Obama simply because it makes them feel good to vote for a black candidate and less like a bigot. Do not get me wrong I believe Sen. Obama to be a good honest man and believe he would make a good President but I wouldn't vote for him out of some kind of guilt. The issue of equality was the concern and forefront of the civil rights and women's suffrage movements. That's all that we as Fathers want is equality and just like Susan B. Anthony and Dr. Martin Luther King we will face opposition for simply asking for this right.
