ROBLEDO I

 And we thought "Captain" Bob Sanchez had no peers when it came to public spats with the women in his life highlighted by his incoherent rants on Facebook, but he may have to take a backseat to a veteran writer whose pen transforms into a sword as he cuts his ex down to size with his rapier thrusts. 

Though he calls himself  David Junior on FB, his name is David Robledo. He is a man of many talents: journalist, activist, teacher, entrepreneur. He was married to respected Brownsville attorney Katy Youker with whom he had a son and a daughter.

They went through an explosive divorce several years ago. The collateral damage continues to this day as evidenced by the following post. Robledo is responding to Carla Flores who asserts, "This isn't about your kids. You're manufacturing a problem because you are still very angry. Your kids are fine and you know that. Are you?"

In these tumultuous times when couples are going at each other's throats because cabin fever is driving them crazy, it is reassuring to know that even under the best of conditions tormented ex-spouses can still summon a fury that may never extinguish itself. The embers keep burning. 

For the record, we don't have a dog in this fight. In the past we have endured the wounds and scars of a massacred mongrel after all the blood-letting. We are reprinting Robledo's remarks because he does raise a valid point: Is Youker using good sense taking her children on the road when keeping them at home limits their exposure to other individuals in these lethal times? 

When you think that the woman you most loved in the world has wronged you and then puts your children in a situation that not only threatens their health but their lives too, does that give a man with a cuckold mentality the right to say, "You fuckin' bitch!" Writes a rip-roaring Robledo:

In my latest posts, I have been throwing much deserved shade at my ex-wife Katy Youker for taking very selfish risks with my children during this pandemic. In this installment, I have to shine a light on comments left to my last post, comments made by Carla Flores.

In her post, Carla said that I was "manufacturing a problem" and that "my kids were fine" after I used Facebook to call attention to Katy's ongoing social distance parties. The City of Brownsville's ethics attorney and a director for Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid, Katy has been having social distance parties for months and I have been complaining to her about them for months.

I finally had to do something and told Katy that if she did not agree to stop these parties, I was going to post her exploits on Facebook. I warned her several times and it is not something that I wanted to do. To me, Facebook is an important avenue to address social issues, even when these issues are very personal.

While calling the police or calling CPS may have its place, I doubt the cops will be able to do much considering and CPS likely has more serious cases to use their needed resources for. While making these complaints to the police or CPS might start a paper trail that I could use in court, writing these Facebook posts also creates a paper trail that I can use in court.

Notes about events are admissible evidence in court. Hopefully, however, we won't have to go to court and this trial will be won in the court of public opinion. I say hopefully because Katy sued the shit out of her stay-at-home dad in her divorce. This loving father is now broke and busted and would not be able to afford going to trial.

As mentioned, Katy has been having these social distance parties for months and many have included her Mom Marsha Griffin, who was a "front-line" doctor on the pandemic. Katy’s latest whiz-bang middle-finger to the idea that small family gatherings are one of the biggest culprits in the spread of the virus is to decide to go on a vacation with the kids in order to have social distance parties with her extended family in College Station.

Katy left in the morning of Friday July 31. In her text message informing me of her planned vacation during which she intends to have social distance parties, Katy said, and I quote, that she was going to “nearby College Station” for a week with the children.

Nearby College Station????? This gives you a picture into how out-of-touch Katy actually is. What I mean is that I believe Katy actually thinks College Station is nearby because it is not France or England, the type of trip she usually takes once or twice a year.

Katy also consulted with her attorney who, according to Katy, told her that she has the “right” to take the kids on this trip. Likely, I will have to file a complaint to the bar association on whomever this attorney is. To advise someone that they have a right to take children on a vacation during this pandemic seems EXTREMELY reckless.

So Carla, I just wanted to give you a little more insight into this problem that you say I am “manufacturing” because you think that I am angry. I just need to invert your sentence structure a little for the sake of accuracy and decency.

I am angry, not because of a “manufactured problem” as you say, but because Katy is incapable of putting the welfare of her children ahead of her very selfish desires for a social life and for vacation travel during this pandemic and because I am powerless to stop her.

Since this is now my official transcript that I will provide the court if need be, you will be hearing more details coming soon unless Katy decides to finally put the needs and safety of her children before her own.

As I have told Katy many times, I am happy to raise the kids. I will raise the kids and Katy can take all the vacations she wants and go to all the parties that will fill her little princess heart’s desire as well.
