A Ten Act “Speculative Fiction”-based Anthology - a ‘Tales From The Crypt’ video ‘comic book’, as a three-part film series……or, in reality, the ten pitches made between 1986–1996 to Hollywood studios that were “too much”.01 – CHIPS AND DIPIn the 1920s, America decided to make the production, transportation and consumption of alcohol illegal; within a decade, organized crime became a larger, more powerful force in society: law enforcement officers, judges and politicians were compromised...crime runs rampant, with many individuals destroyed by its chemical effects on the body, while others end on street corners from the fire-power of a Thompson machine gun...prisons and jails became filled with the lost souls that were arrested for possession while other live the `high life' from the financial benefits of distribution.In the past decade, with Korea, Vietnam, Watergate, Iran, Reaganomics, the laws surrounding the production, transportation and consumption of drugs have provided society with a 'rerun' of the woes of a past era.In 2020, the new `black market product' becomes computer chips, with multinational corporation lobbyist pressuring the politicians to pass laws restricting the production, transportation and installation of ROM and `bubble memory' chips. Referred to as "chip and dip" - from the "chips" ability to "dip" into corporation profits - the strong legislation makes its sales profitable, and dangerous.In "Chips and Dip," we explore the problems facing two families: a single mother, in her early forties, who wouldn't have enough income to support her family if it wasn't for the additional income that comes into her household from her oldest son's illegal support; and a couple struggling to teach their child `the American work ethic'. They work hard to receive their college degrees, but now find themselves in obsolete fields, while their young teenage child earns more money than their combined income, working as a "chip and dip" lookout.02 - IT FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIMEA research scientist, with an obsessive personality and no personal life, delivers a paper, at a major university, claiming that intelligence and knowledge can be transmitted DIRECTLY into the minds of a small percentage of the population. He proposes to "download" data from the universities fifth-generation computer mainframe, via neuro-implants, directly into a subject's brain; a side effect of the procedure, that occasionally arises, has the subject's "data feed" intermix with the personal experiences of the individual, that `live' within ones memories, and as such, make it mandatory the subject be carefully supervised.A series of debates start-up almost before the research scientist can step down from his speech. Arguments center around four core issues:[A] SOCIAL - certain individual would be given advantages that others would be physiologically unable to receive.[B] MORAL - what if a person is taught items that are discovered later to be in error or obsolete? Would the person be subject to having the `files' of their brain constantly `up-graded'?[C] ETHICAL - is it right to create a new form of social segregation? Is it right to give a person twenty years of education in twenty minutes, without giving them the time needed to use this knowledge responsibly?[D] FINANCIAL - the wide spread use of this technique would affect the financial securities of teachers, administrators, educational institutions and publishers, as well as the thousands of support industries. Or would the treatment be given only to those who not only fit the physiological profile, but could pay the equivalent of a doctrinal college education, and in turn create another form of segregation?While other talk, the scientist becomes impatient and performs the experiment on himself. The side effect that attaches itself to him comes in the form of a memory of a childhood `crush' of a young girl. In the original memory, the girl moved with her parents, over the summer, never to be a part of the scientist life - but this time, his emotional attachment to the girl will not allow her to `move', leaving the scientist `locked' within his own mind, and allowing the other educators to relinquish having to deal with the problem, "for the time being...but what about tomorrow?"03 - GIVE ME THE GOOD OLD WAYSLaRESTA THOMAS is a widow in her late sixties, living alone in a small non-automated motel-apartment building. She has a son who is married, living in an up-scaled, ultra-modern, computer controlled `Smart House'. When the Department of Water Quality decides to shut off the supply to the motel-apartment in order to replace the lines, LaResta is forced to haul her own bottled water. In the process of placing one of the bottles into a dispenser, LaResta pulls a muscle. Her son decides that living by herself is too hard on the women and talks his mother into leaving the only place she's known as home for the past fifteen years and move into a spare room at his home.After a week of rest in her son's home, LaResta is well enough to be up on her feet. A strong-willed, independent woman, she is ready to start "pulling her own weight" around her son's home. The only problem being that there is NOTHING she can do; the household's robotic servants do all the cleaning, washing, changing of bed linen, etc. She tries to fix a meal for her son and daughter-in-law, only to discover that the meals are pre-programmed (with the refrigerator keeping an inventory of all food in stock) in the morning before the couple go to work. The "Smart House" does everything, leaving her with nothing; LaResta begins to feel that there is nothing left for her to do in life.In the late afternoon, as the couple arrive home from work, an unexpected power surge destroys the hard drive that controls the memory and operations of the "Smart House" and all of its support systems. The son and daughter-in-law are thrown into a panic; the house is on `manual' - and the couple have gone on `automatic' for so long they've forgotten many of the skills that LaResta takes a second nature - on a night when a very influential business person is to arrive for dinner.That's when LaResta steps in. Taking over in the kitchen, with the assistance from her daughter-in-law, she shows how a meal was done "in the good old days," while instructing her son on the "fine art of straightening up the living room for company." When the business person arrives, she gets the whole household involved in storytelling, to make up for the lack of entertainment equipment.In the end, the business person is impressed by the couples, crediting them for their abilities in the non-automated situation; the couple have learned a lesson on being self-sufficient, and LaResta regained her confidence. With the water re-established in her motel-apartment, she returns to her own home and her own life, while at the same time finding her skills in demand among her son's employees.04 - THE CUTTING OF ONES CIRCUIT-STRINGSBy the end of the twentieth century, many companies have created robotic servants for up-scaled markets, but the designs of Harlan Williamson are unique; a robotic servant/friend, built with an AI [artificial intelligence] memory base, which allows the unit to `express itself' with an `electronic personality' that is second only to a family's favorite relative.After three years of testing, Williamson gives his first model (as a promotional) to the Carson family, a young married couple with one child. Through the years, Williamson remained a loyal, yet distant, friend of the couple. When the child reached the age of five, "Uncle Harlie" brought the child a robotic cat. It starts out as a pet, but `grows' with its childhood companion, helping with homework assignments, making sure household duties are done and protecting the child better than any mechanical device could be expected of.Not a Christmas went by in which "Uncle Harlie" didn't have a new programming chip that expanded the cat's functions and bringing the child years of entertainment, educational assistance, as well as companionship. The relationship with the Carson's also allows Williamson the opportunity to view his handiwork, the robot known as "Arthur".It's twenty years later - the child has moved on, married, raising a child and passing on the "cat" to the sibling; the Carson's are secure in their lives. But for Harlan Williamson, fate has dealt him some low cards after losing his winnings.Williamson has lost all his patients, his privately-owned company, as well as his own real estate investments, to lawyers and the widow of an employee whom died in a company accident. Broke, the Carson's take in Williamson "for a few days" out of pity, but when he falls down the stairs, the "days" quickly turns into weeks.With Williamson's arrival, `Arthur' and the inventor become inseparable. To `Arthur,' Williamson is his `father'; the `creator' who engineered his `birth', loaded him with the operating system that has been the guideline to the robots `education and upbringing'; to Williamson, `Arthur" has always held a spot in Harlan's memory as the `successful son' that every parent dreams of; to the Carson's, `Arthur' has been the `family member' who has been their most of their life and now is expected to fill the void left by their departed child.Eventually, the time `Arthur' gives to Williamson begins to interfere with his programming as the `helpful oldest child' the Carson's could always depend on, causing the feelings between the Carson's and Williamson to turn form friendship to resentment.When the tension in the household becomes too much, the `biological' lifeforms decide to allow the `robotic' lifeform to decide whom it would rather be with: the family who has shared their lives with it for the past twenty years, or the individual who is responsible for its very existence.This is the type of decision `Arthur' has never been programmed to deal with. Faced with having to make a decision between the two sides, `something' burns out and the unit shuts down: `Arthur' has the robotic equivalent of a nervous breakdown. Williamson and the Carson's are in a panic.The inventor tries everything he can to repair the damages, while the Carson's pay for all the burnt out circuit boards and equipment needed to put `Arthur' back together again. Williamson touches the robot's reset button and within a few moments all of `Arthur's' primary function circuits return...but the warmth, the PERSONALITY that made `Arthur' so special to both, has vanished.Both Williamson and the Carson's can no longer face the memory of their selfishness. Williamson moves out of the Carson's home to take a blue collar job on a robotic production line as a QC inspector. The Carson's can't face looking at the container of their `friend' whom they lost, deciding to ship the unit back to the factory for another robotic cat. With a VOICE-OVER dialogue between the parents and the grown-up child, explaining the absence of `Arthur', we see the unit disassembled, back at the factory. As the child proposes that `Arthur' couldn't keep himself from losing one parent figure, or the other, deciding to lose both and itself, we see a clear liquid seep from the corner of an optic circuit.05 - THE SINS OF OUR SIBLINGSThis is courtroom drama that explores the limits of responsibility of parents to the actions of their children.A nine-year-old child, involved as a lookout for a "chip and dip" gang [see Storyboard #1], startles an elderly, homeless woman, while being pursued by undercover officers. The startled woman falls in the path of a delivery truck [the only vehicles allowed in the downtown business area] and is killed, implicating the child in a felony homicide.Unexpectedly, the district attorney holds the parents responsible for the child's actions, based on the documented lack of involvement the parents have with the child; the child is charged with possession of illegal computer memory chips and association with an organized criminal element, but the parents are charged with the death of the woman, based on their unaccountability of the upbringing of their child.In the parent's defense, the lawyer tries to show that the cost of living has become so high that the only way they could provide the level of necessities of life is with the father holding two jobs while the mother works nine-to-five and takes tempo assignments on the weekends.The DA based his case on the parents responsibility that a child growth, besides physical, also consist on educated the child on what is right and what is wrong; their lack of attention to the child was the reason the child turned to others who "would fill this vacuum with greed and filth."06 - THE GENETIC CONFIGURATION OF LOVEA geneticist alters the fetus of his wife in an attempt to create a `homo superior' child, whom he names Adam. With the wife's death, in labor, the scientist becomes even more zealous in forcing the child to become the zenith of his own expectations.For reasons that are beyond the comprehension of the father, the son drops out of a prestigious position on an university staff and takes up the job of a janitor at a fast-food restaurant, in the lower-class neighborhood of a major metropolitan city. The son finds himself wrapped up in "the images of an earlier era...a time when high-definition, stereo, even color broadcast were a thing of the future." He is a fan of the golden age of cinema and television, "when things were black and white and a lot simpler."While living `underground' from his father, Adam meets a young Iowan woman, Heidi, who is staying with her artist brother and advertising executive wife. As emotions begin to grow between Adam and Heidi, Adam's father finally established the whereabouts of his unique son.The father, meeting with Heidi, tries to convince her that for his son's own good, she must convince him to take a teaching/research position at a MIT-type campus.The young genius' insecurity is based on his feelings that he was nothing to his father "but an experiment. He gave me a foundation in physics, nuclear medicine, biology, economics, law, world politics, everything...except love."The story examines the love between a father and son, between a man and a woman, and the journey a brilliant man must take to understand the simple feelings inspired by the touch of another hand.07 - LOST: ONE IDENTITY, SLIGHTLY USEDEveryone grows up with heroes; people who are admired for their accomplishments or their personality. Heroes take many forms: athletes, writers, politicians, military leaders, religious figures...even fictional characters of literature and performed by actors. In this tale, we explore what happens when a person submerges their own identity for that of a fictional character.A young girl becomes a fan of a character in a television series. The character is a cool, non-emotional and highly intelligent alien from another civilization. Her inability to function with her peers drives her further and further in embracing this character, who is "a member of the Assembly of Intelligent Life-forms." In the beginning, while the show is in first run and has become a media hit, she is admired by others in her peer group, who also follow the adventures of this alien heroine. From these moments of acceptance and admiration, she finds fulfillment and becomes determined to BECOME the character.Focused on the fictional creation, she cuts her hair, designs a costume, uses make-up to change the shape of her eyes and lips, begins to speak with an emotionless tonal quality, to match the image of the television character. She takes it to the point of slicing the tissue between her finger, giving her the longer stretch and look of the alien. She perfects the character so well that some of her friends are beginning to feel uncomfortable around her, while others look to her as an extension of the character that they can `reach' and relate to. Deep down, the girl realizes she isn't a member of the `Assembly of Intelligent Life-forms,' but she has so successfully submerged herself that she has truly become `alien'.While the girl has successfully dealt with the character, the performer who plays the character hasn't, and has committed suicide. With the actress' death, the series is pulled off the air and the popularity that is associated with it `dies,' leaving the girl with a personality that no one WANTS to relate to. Now she must struggle to find her way back to that person she was.08 - LESSER OF TWOAfter thirty years of judicial controversy, the Supreme Court has finally settled on a hearing brought to them by GENETIC ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, INCORPORATED. GED Incorporated has been awarded the right to be the first company to experiment with the creation of human life. But with this right comes a series of stringent conditions established by the courts: not only will GED be responsible for the nature of their development, they will be held legally responsible for the nurture of the creation for the first fifteen years of its existence.A married couple, fresh out of med school, has been offered an opportunity to come to work for GED. Due to the unusual conditions set down by the court, all employees must submit to a complicated contract that will control all of their household and living expenses, prorated for a period of fifteen years, based on the number of dependents established at the beginning of the contract; every employee who starts with the project must maintain with the project for the full term of the contract.Anyone who quits, prior to the completion of the contract, will void the contract for the entire research project; the only way out is to die. The couple are excited by the opportunity, for with its completion their name, like everyone else associated with the project, will go down in medical history, giving them a form of immortality.After signing the contract, the woman discovers the unexpected. In taking the required quarterly health examination, it is discovered that her birth control method failed and that she has begun a "genetic experiment" of her own.After the initial excitement subsides in the couple, they run a series of household financial projections and discover the curve of their income, taxed by the inclusion of a third person, will decline beyond an acceptable level near the child's seventh year. After much internal conflict, the could decide to leave the research project, only to be hit with the realization that if they leave, they will not only jeopardize the project's birth, but the incomes and careers of every member of the project.The major conflict: Which of the two births is the more important delivery - the private birth of one couple, or the project birth, that would open a new frontier in mankind?09 - THEOSOPHY- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -theos'ophy n. any of various ancient and modern systems of esoteric philosophy by which the soul may attain to knowledge of, and ultimate union with, the universal spirit.

A 30-ish black woman claims she is the Creator, from which the courts deem she must undergo psychological observation. After trying all the established techniques used by the hospital, a Catholic psychotherapist decides to attempt a cure using an extremely dangerous treatment using a combination of hypnotic and pharmaceutic practices.The woman is conditioned shortly after she goes to bed, and transferred to another ward, while a lullaby is softly played in the background. The next morning, the woman and the therapist are locked into a abstract set, where we find the woman has reverted to a child-like state. There, the therapist begins the journey of bring the woman through years of her life in the hopes of determining what event in her life gave her this illusion, then to re-educate her along more `normal behavior.Each day, the two work their way through the progressive stages of the woman's life. The therapist grills the woman about her feelings, her motives, her surroundings and her situation at that time in her life - always trying to catch her off-guard into denial of her belief in her own `godliness'.At first, the therapist is "father" to the woman's "child". Other role-playing situations continued through the treatment include: teacher/student, den parent/scout, coach/athlete, employer/employee, and judge/accused. When nothing else works, the therapist finally attempts placing the woman in the role of "Christ" to his own "Pilot".During each stage, the grilling has become more intense, the questions more to the point, but with this final stage the viewer is given the impression that the therapist is so intense that HE is beginning to believe the HE IS PILOT, has as such, that the woman is Christ. Suddenly, he off-handedly, ask the woman her age. She state her ACTUAL age, which is 34; with this out, the therapist jumps at it, stating that the woman couldn't be the Savior, "for you'd of already been dead for over a year!"Suddenly, the woman falls back into a mock-up of a window; the glass cuts her palms and the body finally falls, taking the position of a cross. Under examination, the therapist discovers the woman is dying. With her last breath, she tells the therapist she forgives him.Upon an autopsy, it is discovered she had a tumor in her brain that had gone undetected; the death certificate states such, but the therapist has discovered he has now lost his faith.10 - RENT-A-FRIENDIn the year 2020, the lives of many upper-level business persons, in major metropolitan centers around the world, have become so impersonal that they must schedule time for their personal lives. From this situation, an industry develops to fill a need - companionship that can be rented.Executives rent people to accompany them on leisurely drives, as companions for parties and weddings, as recreational partners in everything from tennis to bridge; in some places, like Nevada, the condition of non-sexual contact is lifted from the usual rental agreement.Rent-a-friends are people you can spend your time with, but more important for some, a person you can confide with and (under a written guarantee) be assured that your conversations will never go beyond the two of you.After having spent the past two years as a Rent-A-Friend, ROBERTS has become so stressed-out from hearing the personal and business problems of some many clients, that he has decided he needs a break......and hires a Rent-A-Friend, from a competitor, cloaking his own employment from the person he hires; "For two weeks, I get to be the client and I get to drop my problems on somebody else!"During the vacation, the lives of ROBERTS and his Rent-A-Friend, LINDEN, are changed. Up to a point, a Rent-A-Friend must be the ear that listens, but never the mouth that speaks. If a Rent-A-Friend were to offer an idea, or agree with a client's spoken comments about any major decision proposed, the company the companion worked for could be held libel. But these two feel so deeply for each other that they both want to "step over the line." But they each realize how dependent they are to their wages earned and of the strain that would be put on each other if they suddenly became a "single wage-earning couple." The realities of economics make this birth of a loving relationship...a still birth.The vacation has ended, the relationship has ended, and LINDEN takes on a new client whom she has to meet at his job. On a public-transit rail, LINDEN once again sees ROBERTS. As the two travel, they discover that they are both on their way to meet new clients. They part at the exiting station as the friend you always want to see again, but know that you never should because of its painfulness.But fate will not separate these two lovers, for they both find themselves on the same floor, of the same building, at the same company. They also discover that their clients work on either side of a partition, in a cubicle environment. But when the clients arrive, they want to cancel their service contracts; the clients met over lunch and decided, since they were both on vacation, to save some money by going with each other.This sparks an idea: Rent-A-Couple! ROBERTS points out that the four of them could all go to Lake Tahoe with the added advantage of a second companion - of the same gender - for a little over the price of one. Not only do the Rent-A-Friends find the love they want from each other, but find themselves developing a new form of competition for their respective companies.

I met the man who would be my husband when I was 18 years old. I suffered from undiagnosed narcolepsy and this contributed to the reasons why I stayed.These incidents are not in chronological order. No accounting of abuse is complete without including the abuse directed toward the narcissist’s own children. The significant others of the Narcissist are only one of many of the victims. The only truth he ever told me, was that no one else would love me the way he did.I have spent countless hours trying to figure out how my ex-husband has managed to do the things he has done, and exactly what he actually did in these situations. If anyone has an inkling into exactly what he has pulled off, please enlighten me.Those who have been involved with a narcissist know that the toughest abuse to explain is the chronic abuse that has plausible deniability built in. It is also the most damaging.The gas-lighting was a constant. He still is the most convincing liar I’ve ever known. He would be telling me something that I knew was not true, but the absolute sincerity and certainty I would see in his eyes made me doubt my own reality.My husband expected absolute loyalty. While I am loyal, I reserve the right to reject something that I feel is morally wrong. He insisted that I was supposed to back him regardless. This was always an issue between us, especially when it came to the ostracization of people who my husband was targeting. He had targeted his best friend because the guy failed to mow our lawn when he said he would. Because I refused to participate in the bad mouthing of this guy, I was in the hot seat. I simply could not go along with this type of petty meanness and this repeatedly got me into hot water.He believed that he should be able to do as he pleased. I was fine with that, but the rules did not go both ways. The Gander was free range, but the goose was always getting cooked.Of course, there was the favorite tool used by every narcissist…the silent treatment. The first few years it had the desired effect. As the years went by I began to look forward to the silent treatment. Despite the fact that you could cut the tension in the air with a knife, the silent treatment meant that for however long it lasted, I would not have to deal with the subtle and insulting innuendos. I would not have to recite the timeline of my days. I would not have to defend myself for buying the new sheets on the bed, or for purchasing a toy for our children. The silent treatment became a time of quiet silence from his unrelenting harassment.I was working at a record store when we first met. He gave me a list of items he wanted me to get him at my discount (he didn't give me any money). I later found out these were gifts he gave to different girlfriends. That year I received the only Christmas gift I would receive in the entire 14 years we were together. A professional photograph portrait of himself.I was the epitome of the perfect Biker wife. I was easy going beyond belief. My husband ruled the roost. I created the perfect home life.We were on our”honeymoon” in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. A group of our friends was meeting us in our hotel room. My new husband starts chopping up a pile of cocaine for snorting lines. Shocked and alarmed, I asked, “Did you bring that into this Country?” He responded, “No, you did. I put it inside your purse and YOU brought it into the Country”.After the birth of our first child, he insisted I obtain paternity test to prove he was the father. I remember dialing the doctors' office and asking about paternity tests. Suddenly I stopped mid-sentence and looked at the phone like it was something alien. I could not believe I was actually asking what I was asking! Then I said “Never mind”, and hung up the phone. There were times when I had brief moments of clarity.He became jealous of the time I spent with our children. I was not spending as much time with him. He forbade me to buy things for the children. This rule turned me into a liar. Eventually, he forbade me to put the kids in any kind of sports, because that too took my time away from him.He gave me the nickname”Dummy”. An accurate name since I stayed with him for 14 years.During the seventh year together, I received anonymously, a book in the mail titled “Men That Hate Women and the Women That Love Them”. This was the first validation I had that something was not right in our relationship.Early in the relationship, we reached the agreement that my earnings would be used to pay for our family living expenses and his earnings for saving and investment. There was no savings account with both of our names. There was just a pile of cash hidden somewhere.Whenever we had an argument, he would say, “You keep your things and I will keep mine”. Naturally, all the investments were in his name and the monthly payables and debts in my name.Investments ended up being motorcycles, muscle cars, boats, airplanes, or anything else my husband looked cool driving.He always made a show of discussing purchases with me, but it didn't matter what my opinions were, or how adamant I was that I didn't want to make a certain investment, in the end, my husband would buy it anyway.In 83 we purchased a rental property. The payment was $500 monthly at no interest. We rented the house for $600 per month.In 86 we purchased a property that had two commercial storefronts (for each of our businesses) and a house on the same lot. We placed $150,000 cash for a down payment and took out a $100,000 mortgage. The monthly payment was $1,200. I finally had something to show for all the years I supported the family.It was our routine that my husband took the children to the babysitter or to school in the morning, and I picked them up in the afternoon. There were occasions where I arrived at the school, waiting for the children to come out to be picked up, but there was no sign of our children. I would be frantic and go to the office only to find out that he picked them up early. Over time I realized he was doing this on days when he was angry with me. Once, I caught him at the park across the street from the school, watching me as I frantically searched for the children. Cruel.Throughout the marriage, my husband accused me of having secret bank accounts. I did not have extra money to put into a secret account. Cleaning our bedroom one day I came across documents opening one of his secret bank accounts.In ’86 my sister came to work for me. The plan was to teach her the business so she could open a business of her own. There is a reason for the old saying “Never go into business with family”. No other employee could ever have been capable of the kind of destruction to my business that my sister created. I loved my sister and trusted her completely. My sister embezzled a large amount of money from my business. She quit working for me and moved to Northern California with some of my accounts. Before leaving she went on a shopping spree using my credit cards. I previously allowed her to buy a new car in my name (because her credit was bad) and she stopped making payments. My sister contacted family friends and business associates and began a smear campaign. She also looked up the person running the DMV in Sacramento and to this day I do not know what she told this person, but suddenly I began having difficulty getting license plates for the trucking companies I represented. The IRS was also contacting me saying they had a report of tax fraud on my business. Dealing with the fall out was taking a tremendous amount of time and energy. Eventually, I simply could not take it anymore. I could not deal with the fallout and provide the time-sensitive duties that the business required.Throughout this time, my husband was making remarks that he did not believe my version of what was occurring, and I was desperate to obtain proof.I referred my clients to an old employer of mine and began the process of transferring my clients' files. A few weeks later, I received a letter from this old employer telling me that she had come across a handwritten letter my sister had sent to a client of hers. The Trucker had given my sister money to pay his license and registration fees. My sister had provided him with a fraudulent registration with a note attached to it that said, “Here is a registration to operate on until I get you your permanent registration. If you get caught using it, tell them you got it from Janet at Truck Licensing Services. She lives and works in Glendora CA and she has blond hair”. This evidence became crucial to reversing much of the problems created by my sister. When I showed the letter to my husband he seemed surprised. Any time I would talk to him about what was happening, he would laugh. He seemed to get great pleasure and amusement out of this thing that caused me so much pain.The loss of my business marked the first time in the marriage that my husband was required to pay the families monthly living expenses. My husband was not happy about it. We rented out the building that once housed my business for $1,000 per month, bringing what we had to come up with for the mortgage payment to only $200.He would spend hour upon hour each evening berating me for the loss of my business. I regularly cried myself to sleep each night.I gave our bills to my husband to write checks out. He wrote the checks and about a month later I began to receive late notices from our creditors. I went to my husband and asked if he sent the payments out late. That’s when he told me he had not mailed the payments at all.We had our normal monthly bills and the property taxes were also due. He kept me up all night arguing. He wanted to just pay the property taxes and I wanted to pay the bills and get a loan to pay the tax bill. Finally, I begged for him to allow me to sleep awhile and we could finish the discussion when I woke. When I woke up and went into my office, my secretary informed me that she got the taxes in the mail as my husband told her to.I had begun seeing a therapist. Each office visit I would go in and spend the entire time crying. I decided to write out the past year of what had gone on in my life. By the time I was finished, I was seriously pissed off at my husband and I was ready to leave. When I left the marriage I believed that the worst was over. How naive I was. The final time we spoke to each other he told me “He was going to teach me poverty”. I responded, “Given the choice of living with him or living with poverty, I would opt for poverty.I moved out of the house with the children because my husbands business was on the same property. The unpaid past due bills were in my name so I had to move in with a friend who already had utilities in their name. My Ex-allowed me to collect the monthly rental of my old business building as child support. I took out a $5,000 loan, which allowed me to pay some of the delinquent debts and I was able to get utilities in my name again. There was enough left over to place 1st and last on a house to rent.One day my attorney office called to tell me there was an emergency hearing that was being held the next day and I was required to appear. Upon my arrival, I was handed a copy of an Order to Show Cause and a declaration submitted by my husbands' attorney. My husband told a story of my children living in a crack house. He said I was shooting up drugs in front of the children, having group sex and orgies in the children's presence, and that the children had witnessed a fight between two of my boyfriends and been so frightened that they crawled out of their bedroom window at 2 o’clock in the morning. The children were removed from my custody that afternoon pending investigation.I drove home in a state of shock. When I pulled into the driveway a police cruiser pulled in behind me. I was taken into custody on a warrant. The warrant was actually a body attachment from an old case in which I failed to appear as a witness in a spousal abuse case against my husband. It was a Friday night so the court would not sort it out until Monday. To this day my rap sheet erroneously shows this case as me who had assaulted my husband.I was only allowed to visit my children with supervision, and I was not allowed to talk with them about the allegations. Finally, a hearing was held and the boys were questioned. My youngest son was asked if he ever saw his mother using a needle. He responded, “Yes. She sews sometimes”. A Judge spoke to the children in chambers and when the judge returned to the court my ex-husband was reprimanded and told never to lie to the court again. My attorney said custody was being awarded to my husband. I said, “Do you have any idea what this man is really about?” I was told if I objected to his custody, the children would be placed in foster care and it would be years to get them out.I was questioned by my state-appointed representation about my drug use. I admitted that I used amphetamine daily. I was asked why, and I told them “Because I can’t wake up”. I used amphetamine since the age of 15. I began having sleep issues around the age of 12, and by my freshman year of High School, I was failing all of my classes. One day I took some of my brother’s Ritalin and went to school. My grades went from “F” to “A” overnight. I have used amphetamine ever since. My husband was my supplier for the last 14 years. I thought that by telling the courts the truth, that someone would help me discover the reason why I could not wake up. That's not what happened.Without my children, I no longer had a reason to strive. I let the rented house go and rented a couch to sleep on from a friend. My husbands smear campaign had new fuel and the entire town was stoking the flames.My attorney suffered a nervous breakdown during these proceedings. The last thing he filed was a request for an order for my ex-husband to pay the payments on the second mortgage I had taken out to pay the old utility bills.The divorce case was now a complicated mess and I could not find an attorney to take the case without a $5,000 retainer. The case was stagnating from 1990 to 1993. I found a lawyer who agreed to take the case in 1993 for $3,000 retainer.In 1993 I went to a real estate agent to obtain the current market values on the properties we owned. That was when I learned that I no longer owned the property called the “family home” by the courts. The house had been foreclosed on by the second mortgage holder. All notices were sent to the address where my ex was living with our sons. My share of the property was sold at auction to my mother in laws best friend.When we were together, my husband had kept the seedier side of the Biker Community segregated to the area of his repair shop. The children and I rarely interacted with people in the gangs. When the children went to live with him all of that changed. The various Clubs were a part of my children’s lives now. They also became a thorn in my side. I was constantly harassed any time I was seen in public. Eventually, it got so bad I moved 500 miles away, making it more difficult to see my children.I learned that my Ex had our sons take out life insurance policies on each other. They were required to pay the premiums with their own money. I suspect he did this knowing that if one of the boys died, the insurance company would hand him the check, not our minor child.My Ex took my son’s to an attorney’s office when they were still kids to have them sign papers “so they could receive an inheritance from him upon his death”. My son’s simply signed whatever papers their father put in front of them. I suspect the signatures were needed for some nefarious purpose. I also suspect the Ex husbands living trust is a vehicle to obtain life insurance on all of the family members.I managed to save enough for a used car, and six months later the car was stolen on the same night that the Club my Ex was involved with was spotted at the local pub.The divorce began in 1989 and was not final until 1997. I was the only party to bring in the documentation of our debts and assets.It’s commonplace to award a fraction of the married couples community property assets to a spouse who admitted the regular use of an illicit drug. The Judges would see the imbalance of monetary awards as a form of equity and reparation to the innocent spouse (in this case, my narcissistic psychopath Ex-husband).The final settlement in the divorce was a joke. I was stuck with all of the community debt. I received none of the family home equity.I received enough money to pay my attorney fees which totaled $50,000 and cash to me was $10,000.I received nothing for the Motor Cycle repair business I helped him build.I also was forced to remain partners with my narcissist in the rental property, but I never received any portion of the rents received over the years.I was awarded our 5th wheel camping trailer, but he was awarded the truck that hauled it.I was awarded a $20,000 drag racing motorcycle and my narcissist handed it to me in a milk crate. When I objected to this as unacceptable, the Judge yelled at me to just take it.The final settlement stated that the court was giving my ex-husband as much time as he needed to make the equalizing payment.In 1999 I went back into Court because my ex-husband was not providing our children with basic human needs. He had not taken them for basic healthcare checkups. He was not providing personal hygiene needs like shampoo, soap, etc. The children did not have clothing and my youngest son’s feet had become misshapen from wearing shoes that were too small. The Court accepted a note from my exhusbands mother, that said the boys were regularly seen by doctors and my concerns were dismissed. California Statutes require that Child Protective Services investigate any allegation of neglect or abuse, yet the Court ignored the LAW for the narcissist.There was one point I was arguing and the Judge was forced to rule against the narcissist. The Judge turned to my ex-husband and said, “I’m sorry, but she is within her rights on this”.I was ordered to pay child support, even though my ex-husband had been collecting the $1,000 monthly rent on the building that was once my office, and was previously considered child support when I had the children.The Court's bias toward my drug use cost me everything I worked so hard for all of those years that I was functioning at a fairly high level. Eventually, it also cost me my freedom.In 2001, before turning myself in to do my prison time, I signed my interest in the rental property over to my two sons. I knew that once I was in prison my narcissist would swindle me out of the property. I prayed about it, and the answer I received was to give it away. It was much less painful to lose this last asset when I was able to choose who I lost it to. I executed a quit claim to my sons and gave it to their father, telling him to teach them about real estate.It was not until after my release from prison in 2003, that my youngest son turned 18 and came to live with me again. He had been living with me for just a few weeks when with dawning horror, I came to realize he was suffering the same symptoms that I suffered from the age of 12. I sat my son down and told him my experience with excessive daytime sleepiness and I promised him I was going to get to the bottom of what was going on with us. I went to Parole and told them my history. I hoped they would know what it was since they had vast experience with people using amphetamine. Parole gave me the run around for the next 18 months. Frustrated, I began using our symptoms as search criteria on Google. Narcolepsy kept being returned. Long story short, both my son and I underwent sleep studies and were diagnosed with Narcolepsy.From the moment I was diagnosed, there have been people in law enforcement who have created problems in my ability to obtain treatment for the disease. The Drug Enforcement Administration writes letters to my doctors. Apparently, my file has been flagged and I’ve been labeled a drug seeker. When I was denied Medi-Cal, I was informed at a hearing that a panel of doctors deemed my narcolepsy to be “insignificant” and “the disorder had no major effect on my ability to function in life”. Flabbergasted, I turned to the Judge and said, “No doctor, not one, ever attempted to speak to me to ask me what the effects were from having narcolepsy. I went to PRISON behind this thing, and believe me when I tell you that my experience in prison was not insignificant to me. As a teen, I went from failing all of my classes in school, to a student at the top of my class, after finding amphetamine. Medication for me is the difference between utter failure and shining success. The difference between the two could not be described as “insignificant”. The Judge granted me the Medi-Cal, but the victory was moot because I still could not find a doctor to treat me. It was six years since the diagnosis when a sympathetic doctor confided that he doubted I will ever find ANY doctor willing to treat me. The DEA has a definite “chilling effect”.I discovered in 2004 that my narcissist had never given our sons the quit claim I executed in 2001. The property was now entirely in my Narcissist’s living trust.My narcissist wanted to sell the rental property and told our sons they would each get $5,000. Their actual share of the property was $50,000 each. For some reason, my signature was needed, despite me already releasing interest in 2001. There was a court hearing and the Court required that I execute another quit claim in 2006.For some reason, escrow was still requiring that I sign documents for the sale. The thing was, the documents they wanted me to sign always had “Narcissist Living Trust” typed above or below the place where they wanted me to sign. After months of duress, I finally signed the documents on the condition that each of my sons would receive $50,000 and I would receive $25,000.I was not allowed to see any of the escrow documents for the sale of this property. My youngest son has managed to come across a few documents. He found one document that shows me as a borrower on the rental property.The proceeds for the sale of the rental came from a company that handles 1031 exchanges. The check was made payable to my Ex husband and my oldest son. My youngest sons name was not on the check. My Ex-husband took my youngest son to a small business bank and had him open an account in the names of our two sons.During this time I experienced an adverse reaction to a new narcolepsy medication called Xyrem. In short, I experienced a prolonged psychosis. I moved out to the desert and my son moved back in with his father.I did not know if I was going to survive the psychosis and I decided to leave all of my worldly belongings with my son. He was working a job that took him out of town during the week, and he only returned on the weekends. Upon his return one weekend, he found that his father had moved my things to his vacation home and had given away the rest.My Ex moved a new girlfriend into his home. His girlfriend suffers from OCD and cannot tolerate the movement of any item in the household. She will become hysterical if an item is moved even a few inches from its original place. Unfortunately, my son is a whirling tornado of movement in the environment. Friction between the two ensued. My son told me his father’s girlfriend had thrown bleach into the washer with his dark clothes. The girlfriend set off fumigation bug bombs in the house, leaving my son inside sleeping. My son owned a truck and a motorcycle. If he took his truck anywhere when he would return there would be damage to his motorcycle. When he took the motorcycle, there would be damage to the truck. My son was placing the blame for these incidents entirely upon the girlfriend, but I believe he doesn’t want to entertain the idea that his father is either putting the girlfriend up to these things or the sole person responsible. I believe he was the person doing these things and framing her.My youngest son began looking for property to purchase. He found one he liked for $210k. It had two houses on the lot. My son put his $50k and I put in 20k for the down payment. The real estate agent put him in touch with a loan broker who said she could arrange a mortgage with an $800 monthly paymentBy the time escrow closed the payment was $1500 monthly. After moving in we discovered the houses were severely termite damaged and the County assessor estimated the property value at land value of $75k.We attempted to litigate the issues and we were informed we had no standing.Meanwhile, the property went into foreclosure and was sold at auction to a Michael Jackson. I ran a search for other addresses affiliated with this person and a P.O. box came back. I ran a search on the P.O. box, and the address that was once my office was returned. The man who purchased the property used to rent my office from my ex-husband. A coincidence?I believe that somehow, my ex-husband became the lender for the property my son purchased. He then used predatory lending practices on his own son, driving the monthly payment double what my son agreed upon. Keep in mind that this is also the son who has narcolepsy.My son almost lost control of his motorcycle, after having left the motorcycle at his father’s home for a few days. Anytime he reached speeds over 20 mph, the steering became uncontrollable. He drove the MC to his father’s repair shop and asked him to take a test drive because he felt like he was going to die driving. His father refused, and told him “Bring the bike back in two days”. He didn’t say, “Leave the bike here and I’ll give you a ride home”, he just watched him leave on the bike. The following day my son put the MC on blocks so he could examine what was causing the problem. He noticed that there was road dirt on the spokes, but in spots, the road dirt was smudged clean. That’s when he realized that all of the spokes on the front wheel had been loosened. He took the bike to a different repair shop and was told someone had to deliberately do that to the spokes.6 months before that incident, my son was involved in a motorcycle accident, but cannot remember the accident itself. He was not able to examine the wreckage because his father sold the bike and shipped it overseas before he was able to get out of bed. There is very little left of a motorcycle after it is involved in an accident. This makes it nearly impossible for forensics to determine the cause of an accident. His father is well aware of these facts. Even if there was evidence of tampering that was detectable by the Police, the investigation would only point to his fathers' girlfriend as the person who wished harm to my son.I did not find out about the following incident until 2010 when my son finally told me of it. One night, my Ex husbands motorcycle shop was broken into and a couple of motorcycles stolen. To get the bikes back, their father decided to do a home invasion on the suspect's house. My two sons and their father dress up in black and gather together the guns they will take. Both of my son's are wearing Kevlar vests (bullet proof). Keep in mind that their father has enough inventory in the shop to build at least twenty bikes just like the ones stolen. At this point, the home invasion doesn't have anything to do with the vehicles and has everything to do with their fathers' ego. Right before the three of them are going to storm The door, their father turns to the youngest boy and asks if he can borrow his Kevlar vest. In silence, my son handed his vest to his father. His father placed the vest on himself, and the three of them entered the house. They were able to get one of the bikes back. My son, his brother, nor their father, ever spoke of the vest again. It was seven years before I learned of the incident. My youngest son kept that painful experience bottled up inside of him. To speak of it meant having to acknowledge that his father deemed him to have the least value.During the same time period, several friends of my son mentioned to him that his father was spreading strange rumors. One friend who had not seen him for a while was surprised to find my son looking physically fit and presentable. He told my son that my Ex was telling people that my son was a Hype (injecting drugs intravenously). My Ex knows a great number of people, so this rumor was carried far.My son found correspondence from the Internal Revenue Service, in regards to an irrevocable trust, with my son's name on it. My son has never created an irrevocable trust.My daughter in law was visiting me when she asked me about the Narcissists living trust. She indicated the Narcissist had included her in the trust “so she could collect an inheritance upon his death”. I told her that I believed the trust was a vehicle to obtain life insurance. Six months later, my 32-year-old daughter in law died unexpectedly, leaving three children without a mother.After the foreclosure, I went to live with my recently widowed eldest son, and three of his four daughters. I was filling the role that their mother left vacant. I was taxiing kids, taking them to doctors, cleaning the house, cooking meals, doing yard work, you name it, I was doing it.After the foreclosure, my youngest son moved into the old “family home”. My ex-husband purchased a home in an exclusive neighborhood several years earlier. The ex attempted to turn the family home into a “gentleman's club”, which is a fancy way of saying brothel. The house even had a strippers pole. When that didn’t work out he took to renting out rooms in the now seven bedroom house. All the bedrooms were rented when my son arrived, so he slept in the hallway for a while. He eventually got one of the rooms, but three months later his father told him that all of the tenants had to move because he was renting out the entire house (except for one large room that was rented by a business) to one person.My son moved into a temporary place for three months and then became homeless. He and his girlfriend were camping out in the San Gabriel Valley mountains. He told me he found a motor home that he wanted to buy, so I gave him $300 to buy the vehicle and have a roof over his head.I was spending a great deal of time investigating (as much as possible when you have no funds) the various situations created by the narcissist that made absolutely no sense. My oldest son was getting aggravated because I was not handling as much of the work as I previously had. I was also feeling very guilty that I was living in a nice home, while my youngest son was homeless and struggling. My oldest son was very angry when I told him I was leaving to be homeless with his brother.My oldest son has taken on many of his father's narcissistic traits. He is the designated Golden Child and believes it is proper for him to receive special treatment. During my stay with the GC, he sold my car and kept all of the money. Never once did he offer to pay me for my time spent doing chores for him. During the three years, I lived with him and took care of his children the only thing I asked for was food for my cat. He also paid for me to buy some makeup and a bra. He treated me like I was his maid. My oldest son thinks that it is okay for him to take his brother's property. He is constantly stealing things from his brother. His father has taken his weaknesses and compounded them.The family dynamic the narcissist has created destroyed the once close relationship between my sons. It is heartbreaking.I am sure you have discerned by now that my youngest son is the designated scapegoat. This son has been the target of his father's narcissistic bullying since he was eight years old. As a child, he was someone blessed with a purity of soul, and a propensity towards honesty. It was always apparent to me that he was older than anyone else in the family. He has a strength of character that defies the ugly family dynamic.I moved into the old, gutted, motorhome with my son and his girlfriend. My son had parked the motorhome on the property that was the “family home”. The people that were planning on renting the house gave the narcissist $20k to remodel the house but never moved in. They were afraid of the other tenants. The Narcissists Motorcycle repair shop and the tattoo parlor on the property tend to attract some tough looking people.One day my son had his daughter for the weekend. All four of us were in the motorhome when it began to rain. The motorhome was leaking like a sieve. It was coming down real hard. I thought about the house sitting empty and thought, screw this. I broke into the house and made my granddaughter a dry bed to sleep in. That is how we ended up living inside the house.I find myself getting increasingly depressed living here in the house that I RAN away from thirty years ago. My Exhusband never put any money that he gained from renting the structures on the property, back into the property for maintenance. The exterior has not seen a drop of paint. The house was infested with roaches and rats. The septic tank has not been pumped since we purchased the property in 1986. Consequently, raw sewage backs up into the crawl space on a regular basis. The moisture in the crawl space has created mold issues. During a recent rain, my son pointed out that in places where water was puddling in the yard, each puddle was squirming with larva of some kind. My ex-husband took what was once a beautiful property, and turned it into a toxic waste site.

If you want to get some examples of Old Parents, then Search this site. It has all the info about Old Parents.Children with older parents often take center-stage in their parents’ lives. They receive a lot of attention from their parents and feel very loved and wanted. Older parents are more likely to be settled professionally and are able to spend more time with their children.Financial AdvantagesOlder parents are more likely to be financially secure and able to provide an economically stable life for their children (at least for those with a middle class background or higher). Their children are exposed to a variety of educational opportunities and are able to travel; attend better, possibly private schools; and be involved extracurricular activities.Emotional PrivilegesOlder parents seem to be more stable, relaxed, and less stressed-out by work or parenting issues. They are less worried about their finances or their career, allowing them to be more present and relaxed with their children. These children often grow-up in stable two-parent families. The divorce rate among older parents is lower and these parents have more time to spend with their children.Feeling Different From PeersChildren of older parents are aware that their parents are different- older than any other parents. That often leaves them feeling self-conscious and embarrassed. Some of these children are ashamed to bring their friends home to meet their parents, fearing they might be mistaken for grandparents. They are also aware when their parents’ energy declines because they won’t participate in sports the way younger parents might. The experience that a greater ”generation gap” separates them from their parents is common. These children may also be aware that their parents are a bit more “old-fashioned” in their music and fashion taste.Fear of Parents DyingChildren of older parents often fear that they will lose their parents much earlier than their peers will. When they become aware of their parents’ age, they may want to spend as much time with their parents, and squeeze in as many experiences, as possible. This can turn into a significant worry where a child may not want to leave home out of fear that his/her parents will die.Responsible for Parents at Early Age:As young adults, children of older parents are frequently faced with emotional, medical and financial responsibilities for their parents at much earlier ages than their peers. They may be barely out of college when their parents are already on the verge of retirement or have declining health. Instead of having their 20s and 30s to concentrate on jobs and marriages, they often have to assume a myriad of responsibilities for their parents, relatively early in life.Not Enough AutonomyOlder parents often have small families and a lot of time to be with their children. Greater parental attention may result in a tendency to overprotect and micromanage children. Children may feel they do not have enough autonomy. While intellectually stimulating, older parents can have unrealistically high expectations of academic achievement. Children may feel a great pressure to succeed and be high achievers.What can you do to help your children as an older parent?There is obviously nothing you can do about your age, but you can change your attitude and some of your behaviors.If your child is concerned about your mortality, reassure him/her that you are doing everything in your power to take good care of yourself so that you can be around for a long time. Spending time with other families with older parents will help all of you feel more accepted and normal.You may also want to inform your child of the pros and cons of having an older parent. An experienced therapist can help you figure out how to address concerns your child may have, as well as any concerns you have about being “old.” Therapy can help you improve your confidence as a “parent” and not focus so much on the fact that you are an older parent.Dr.Irena Milentijevic is a licensed psychologist who specializes in helping mothers and those hoping to be mothers overcome stress, loss, and depression. Her offices are located in Houston and the Woodlands, Texas.you unsure about how to claim HRA if you live with your parents? Those who live with parents, can pay rent to their parents and save tax on HRA.Let’s find out how- 1. How to claim HRA by paying rent to your parents? 2. Understand how to save tax by paying rent to parents with an example. 3. Points to remember to claim HRA by paying rent to parents Ownership of the house –Since rent is paid to owners, the property must be owned by your parents. It may be owned by one or both of your parents. Remember that you cannot be an owner or co-owner of this property since you cannot claim tax exemption on rent paid to yourself.Paying rent –You can pay rent to your parents by transferring money to their bank account or pay via a cheque. This way you will be able to claim your HRA deduction properly.Rent agreement and rent receipts – Usually employers ask for a copy of the rental agreement for their records. They can also request for rent receipts to allow you HRA exemption. You can enter into a simple rent agreement with your parents. You can prepare rent receipts by using ClearTax’s rent receipt generator – see here. You can print these receipts and submit to your HR/payroll department. You can also download them and save them on your computer. It is important to keep proper records in case the assessing officer ask for them.Rental income is taxable for parents – Rent paid by you to your parents shall be taxable for them. They will include this income under the head ‘income from house property’ in their tax return. They can claim property taxes paid by them and also claim a 30% standard deduction from this rental income.Save tax as a family – By submitting rent receipts and paying it, you will be able to claim exemption on HRA. Your parents can deduct property taxes and also claim 30% standard deduction on the rental income. If they are in a lower tax bracket than you, the family can save tax as a whole. If they are more than 60 years old, they will also enjoy a higher minimum income exemption limit (Rs.3 lakh for those who are aged above 60 years old and Rs.5 lakh for those who are aged above 80 years old). In case they do not have any taxable income, you will be able to save significant tax as a family.Example 22-year-old Aditya lived in Dwarka, New Delhi with his parents. His office was in Gurgaon and he commuted daily to his office from Dwarka. Aditya had recently started working, and his employer asked for tax saving declarations for FY 2018-19 to calculate TDS on salary. Aditya’s colleagues who lived in Gurgaon in PG accommodation were submitting rent receipts to claim HRA. HRA is paid to them as part of their salary. However, Aditya is unsure if he can claim HRA since he lives with his parents.ere may be a specific statute in your state that provides for an age when a child may determine or provide input as to the child custody decision. When there is a custody dispute in my state (Wisconsin), the court appoints a Guardian ad Litem regardless of the age of the minor child, to determine the best interests of the child.Generally, a child can testify when they are of sufficient maturity to understand and take the oath to testify truthfully. However, the child’s wishes are usually only one factor the court will use to determine the best interest of the child. (Read more about the best interest of the child standard.) In some states, the judge must determine whether permitting the child to state a preference is even in the child’s best interests.Usually by 12 years old a child can testify. As the child gets older, his or her wishes carry more weight. By 15 or 16 if the child is of general maturity and has logical reasons for changing the custody, the court will often abide by the child’s wishes. The key is that the child has to have a logical reason for changing the present support and placement.Child custody statutes routinely require the fact-finder to consider the child’s preferences. Despite their speculative nature, preferences are important to the case – and to parents’ rights.Therefore, state rules for preference testimony strike a balance between protecting children from the pain of having to choose and ensuring their preference testimony is reliable, or as reliable as can be.You should contact an attorney licensed in your state to inquire as to whether a statute defines when a child can decide and the standard the courts apply in determining custody and placement.was Justin and Alexandre Trudeau who warned me I was too old to become a parent. In the late 2000s, I saw the Trudeau brothers interviewed on television about their father, Pierre Trudeau. They extolled the advantages of having been born to a father in his mid-50s, who was already established in life. They spoke of how much they had benefited from his wisdom and broad life experience. At the end of the interview, a discordant note crept in. “Now we’re in our 30s and we’re doing interesting things,” Alexandre said, “and he’s not here to see them.”That’s it, I thought, watching the interview as a childless 45-year-old single man. That’s the best reason for me not to have children – a reason even more persuasive than my devotion to my writing, my impulsive travelling or my doubts about my psychological fitness for fatherhood. The strongest argument against fatherhood in middle age is that the father will not live to see or support his children’s adult activities. Case closed.Children had never been part of my dreams. The product of immigration and divorce, brought up with a strong mother, three sisters and the ambiguity of two father figures, I regarded North American manhood as an alien life form. Even the sensitive, intellectual men I respected had a core of gritty, rooted maleness that I could not locate in my own being. If that kind of masculinity was what it took to be a father, I didn’t have it. My relationships with women were emotional and intense, but often not sexualized, even when circumstances created an expectation that they might be; when they were sexualized, they were often long-distance relationships. As a writer, I devoted much of my time to imagining worlds that were not mine; but the world of a stable couple enduring the daily grind of child-rearing felt so foreign that I could not begin to imagine it.Then, to the astonishment of nearly all who knew me, I celebrated my 50th birthday by getting married. My wife was 13½ years younger than me. Although we did not plan to have children, eventually they happened. At 52, I became the father of a son and, a month before my 56th birthday, of a daughter. Without having foreseen such a turn of events, I had adopted the Pierre Trudeau fatherhood plan.I’m far from being alone. In 2017, a study published in the journal Human Reproduction revealed that almost one in a hundred American children is now born to a father over 50. The figures for other Western countries are similar. The overall age of parents has been rising for decades, with most men who make this choice now becoming fathers for the first time after 30. Yet the stigma against fathers over 40 persists. During our prenatal classes, my wife and I winced when the instructor delivered a tirade against the nefarious effects of “aging sperm” on the children of older fathers. Enjoining all men present to complete their fathering of children before the age of 35, at the risk of bringing sickly, deformed children into the world, she offended half the men in the room.As an older father, you can spend a lot of time on the internet worrying about these claims. The science on the subject is far from settled. The rate of live births among children of men over 45 is lower than that for younger fathers. Children of older fathers have lower birth weights – yet my son was huge and my daughter of average weight. Beyond the verifiable facts of live-birth rate and birth weight, all bets are off. I’ve read that children of older fathers are more prone to autism, although the risk is still minimal; are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders in later life; are better adjusted and more realistic about mortality; have longer life expectancies; have shorter life expectancies; are more intelligent; less intelligent; and everything in between. In short, each case is different. The only certainty is that your children will have a father who is older than other kids’ dads, and that, as an older father, you are unlikely to learn much about what your children do in adulthood.Some of the disadvantages of being an older parent are obvious; others dawn on you only over the long haul. I need more time to recover from a sleepless night spent tending to an ill toddler than a parent in his 30s. I have to take more care to stay in shape than younger dads if I want to put in a respectable showing playing soccer in the backyard. The more significant effects stem from the disrupted chronology of reproducing in your 50s. While my fiftysomething friends are looking forward to downsizing and simplifying their lives when their kids finish university, my thoughts are on upsizing: 10 years from now, when my children are teenagers, I’m going to need an extra bedroom. With thoughts such as these nipping at your heels, there is no sliding into an early old age. Assuming that I’m going to have to pay two sets of university tuition in my mid-70s, I’ve become more driven and ambitious in my career, both as a freelance writer and as an academic, over the past five years. Whether I’m on my way to reaping the bounty of an unexpected second wind or running myself into the ground, time will tell.Older parents who are interviewed in the media invariably laud the benefits of having more patience than they did when they were young. These claims baffle me. The dominant realization of your 50s is that time is finite. Anything you wish to do in life should be done soon. Imagining that you can defer life’s pleasures to some idealized future time, when your children are grown, is not an option. When your children are grown, you will be dead – should you be lucky enough to live until they grow up.hey address us with respect. We expect good table manners, enforce early bedtimes and maintain an almost total moratorium on television. At times, my wife despairs of how much harder we are on our kids than other parents are on theirs. Yet our discipline has advantages. When my son had to start taking a bus to school at the age of 4½, he simply climbed on board and went. His friends whimpered and asked to be driven to school and took most of the year to adjust to the bus.My wife and I each wandered through the world pursuing our artistic dreams – mine in writing, hers in theatre – for years before our paths crossed. We each lived, at different times, in Spanish, French and English. Our extensive, shared experience of these three languages and their respective cultures, combined with our discipline as older parents, is enabling us to bring up our children with the confidence that it is natural to speak in any of these languages – and, by extension, any other language. Our children would have a less rigorous command of their multiple heritages, and arguably less open-mindedness toward the heritages of others, if their parents were younger.As they grow up, my children become more aware of the great gulf of time that existed in their parents’ lives prior to the formation of our family. My son recently started learning the countries of the world and memorizing their flags. Each time he wrote out a country’s name or coloured its flag, he asked my wife and me if we had been there, whether individually or together, and, if so, how many times and under what circumstances. Little by little, he is trying to assimilate the fact that he entered the world closer to the end of our lives than the beginning. I’m nervous about how he and his sister will react once they realize we’ve deprived them of a “normal” life trajectory with their parents. Each time my daughter stares into my eyes with unalloyed love, I wonder whether a decade from now she will resent me for bringing her into the world only to abandon her while she is still young.t viable solution for her family might be to leave New York. “None of the solutions are easy, and most likely we have to leave the city,” Yesayan says, adding that she and her husband are contemplating relocating to California, at least temporarily, to be closer to family who can help with child care. “We’ve lived in the city since 2007, and we love it.

But she’s worried about her younger son who will be in fifth grade.“My 9-year-old is not going to manage that schedule at all, as remote learning was a complete bust for him [in spring]. He was not doing his school work unless continuously monitored,” Badhwar says.But constant monitoring isn’t always an option. “Being a full-time working parent (remote for now), I am not sure how I will navigate this schedule. I am on conference calls all day, and I can’t afford to lose my job, nor do I make enough to hire a full-time sitter to just watch him or help him during the remote school days,” Badhwar says.are probably feeling a ton of emotions (angry, sad, confused, scared, hopeless, pissed) and that is okay.

Many parents are shocked to learn that their kids hear their fights). I cannot safely recommend that all teens talk with their parents about the fighting. Please talk with a trusted adult if you are thinking of talking with your parents and it feels scary.I do not know what your parents fights mean.

They spoke of methods considerably that they had took advantage of his intelligence and general daily life encounter. Following the job interview, a discordant message crept in. “Now we’re inside your 30s and we’re working on useful matters,” Alexandre expressed, “and he’s not on this website to discover them.”That is it, I thought, taking a look at the interview to be a childless 45-year-older sole mankind. That’s the best quality basis for me to not have children - reasons even much more enticing than my devotion to my publishing, my impulsive on a journey or my doubts about my subconscious conditioning for fatherhood.

Even a responsive, mental adult men I recognized stood a key of gritty, rooted maleness that I could not choose with my private actually being.If that kind of masculinity was what it took to be a father, I didn’t have it. Often not sexualized, even when circumstances created an expectation that they might be; when they were sexualized, they were often long-distance relationships, even though my relationships with women were emotional and intense. I devoted much of my time to imagining worlds that were not mine; but the world of a stable couple enduring the daily grind of child-rearing felt so foreign that I could not begin to imagine it, as a writer.Then, to the astonishment of most who knew me, I celebrated my 50th birthday party by getting committed.

Enjoining all gents give to carry out their fathering of children prior to when age of 35, at the danger of delivering sickly, deformed children to the planet, she offended partially the gentlemen inside the room.You can spend a lot of time on the internet worrying about these claims, as an older father.
