Children are not responsible for the self-inflicted problems of their parents', but
some parents are really good at putting guilt off onto their kids.

Navy Vet, history of alcohol and addition, marries and has 3 kids.
Marriage fails, Mom gets divorce, is awarded minimal child support.

Dad disappears for several months, returns broke,
but is drawing unemployment--- with part going to State for indirect child support.

Repuublicans kill long-term unemployment benefits.
Obama gets re-instatement of long term unemployment program.
Dad is no longer "On Unemployment" so can not regain benefits

Dad becomes homeless and child support payments to State stop
Dad has no mailing address or income
Dad gets into special housing (only) program for homeless vets

State mails Notice to Dad's old address to appear in Court for missing child support
Dad gets arrested and put in jail for not appearing in Court
Dad gets kicked out of vet program for having been arrested

Oldest son in community college, working part time, but now has
become very distressed over Dad's situation.
Son now talking about quitting school to get FT job so he can care for Dad

G-parents are very proud of G-son's concerns, but are trying to convince him to stay in school.
