So my X and I talked. He just started talking about different things, asked me where he could cash his check on a Sunday. I asked him if it was his paycheck, he told me that it was his state disabilty check for when he was off of work for 8 weeks. So to hear that he got that...made it a lot easier to ask for money! LOL...
So I asked him to call me when he got back home, because he was on his prepaid cell phone. I told him I needed to talk with him about something. He told me we could talk now. So I told him that I was wondering if he could put some money into my bank account, because there were things that our son needed, and a few things I needed to get for the new baby. He told me no problem, and asked how much. I told him I didn't know, some. He told me he was planning on getting me dipers/wipes for me anyways, but he can just deposit everything into my account...as long as it was going for the kids. I told him of course. So he told me he would call me when he got home and sat down and figured out how much he could set aside to give me. I want to ask him for like $200, but we'll see what he offers to give. If it's only like $40 or $60, I'm going to let him know that he hasn't helped out since October, and that he does owe me money for me paying his bills the month I left. But he was very understanding, about me asking him for money, and seemed to have no problem with it. Just have to wait for the call back!

That sounds great Meggs! I hope it works out the way you would like, in the meantime I would still pursue C/S. It's better to know that you are getting a steady payment, then wait for when he thinks he has enough to give you. Of course I would be upfront with him about it, so you don't appear sneaky, but I think you can wait a little while before discussing that with him. Wait and see if he helps you out immediately like he should.
