So today I filed to recieve papers for a legal name change.
Some know I was born Tammy Frederick
Some know me as Tami Croft
The spelling in Tami was the hospitals fault..lol so I just changed it back to what my mom had always wanted.
But the last name (croft) is my mothers maiden name and I began using it when I was in my late teens, as a singer I thought it just sounded better.

But today I had some legal jargen thrown into my face about how my father (who passed in Nov.) had completely left me nothing, had totally written me off.
My father and I were like oil and water and I should have known from his actions in life that it would be no different in death.
He stopped paying child support when I was about 4-5 and always hated whenever I would ask for any type of money.

For me it was never about the money, it was knowing that in his final moments he thought of me and wanted me to be taken care of.
Well I got a big f**k you even on his way out.....

So that's that, I want nothing more from him, including his name.
Now is decision time though...do I change to Croft which I have been doing for years already ... OR ... do I go with my step father's name?
My step father has raised me since I was 2 (30 Years) and has been more of a father to me then my biological father ever was.

The papers will come in about a week, so I have that much time to think about it.
$137 it's going to cost me, but I think it will be $137 well spent to rid my life of that man forever.

What do you all think?
