They had no such problems later, with my Filipina wife, who I hadn't even bothered to tell them I was marrying.
My family was the root cause of my marriage break up..everything negative stemmed from them..I was stupid enough to be taken in by it.

My grown up kids blamed Jane for the reason for not coming around to see their brothers well, I've had my boys 5 times and still they won't come see their baby brothers..in fact now Jane's gone, they won't even come see their dad yet when Jane was here they made such a fuss about seeing me!!!

I'm feeling pretty sorry for myself at the moment, I'm off work with a bad back..today being the first day, I just pray I will be well enough to have the boys in a few days time....I'm thinking all this was so unavoidable if I hadn't of been stupid enough to have been taken in

You know, I feel the same about her family..I know they have tried in the past to use her for money..Jane couldn't see it..Just like I couldn't see the way my family here in UK manipulated me.....our families caused so many problems..that was where all our arguements started from....Jane couldn't accept my kids texting me while she knew they hated her.....I too felt the same about her family..They knew that I knew what they were all about......They didn't want to help themselves no matter what money was given..instead of spending on business, it went on the usual....I made it plain that I knew they were taking the pee and it was going to stop.

At the expense of our wonderful beautiful children, Jane and I put family loyalties first.........I so wish I could turn the clock back.

The Swiss family Robinson had it all worked out
