Well it's the 5th and once again there is no child support.

Not good.
In fact this is really bad. I have always tried to maintain optimism and be secure in knowing that I can get by, but this month I just can not seem to find my way out of it.
I am not angry with my son's father. I have taken to thinking there is something wrong with his brain. lol
It helps me accept the nasty things he does, and how unfair this situation is.

I have so much to pay out and my pay cheque is just not going to stretch that far.

Darn, it is not like I live high. I never have.

I am seriously considering going on a fast in protest. I'll take my vacation days and park my skinny bum in front of... where would I stage my protest? No one official is at fault here.
Okay that was the worlds shortest hunger strike.
LOL
I suppose I have to get another job.
This really is crummy.
I'm givinig myself 1/2 an hour to feel down, then it's back to living.

Honey, I can totally sympathize with you on the trying to stretch out every dollar. My ex hasn't given me a red cent in two months...actually, well he spent $100.00 on clothes for his kids last week...but he's not employed so I dont' know whose money it was.
Hold your head up, babe! I think you're gonna be just fine!!!
If your kharma is good, then the universal law will take care of you.

I to can sympathize with you all. My loser ex hasn't given me any $ either. It just really pisses me off. While he is off spending money on foolish stuff at Walmart or on the 800-psychic line. Drives me crazy.

I have learned though how to stretch a buck. I hope I will be able to stretch it so thin this month that I will be able to see right through it. lol.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the understanding, and support.

We will be okay. I can pick up a second job for a few months; I will just have to back off of some of my volunteer stuff for a while that's all.
Even broke, life is good.

Sueh - psychic line ?! That is so sad!
I love your stretch a buck so far you'll be able to see through it line. (Simply classic)

Be well ladies

It just amazes me sometimes how some are just not paying, and not having the laws and regulations behind non payment enforced to the point that they have no choice but to pay.
While some don't dare miss a payment knowing they'll lose their licenses, get charged with contempt of court and perhaps even do 30-45 days for that contempt......the list goes on, others seem to get away with out any consequences for choosing not to support their children.

I do have to believe that someday though it will catch up to all of those non payers. Good luck ladies.

Don I think it comes down to how an individual choses to live.
You have a life, a home, a business, your daughter. You have a life worth living.


My son's father lives in a 400,000 dollar home that his parents own. He works mostly under the table to hide income, doesn't pay his taxes, is in the process of claiming bankrupcy for the second time because Revenue Canada final caught up with him.
He lives -food, shelter etc off his parents.
Drives a vehicle in his mothers name.
He never has money, because he gambles and I think still is playing with drugs.
Annual income estimated at 70,000.00.
Proud of getting away with it all.
In my oppion he isn't living.

I believe that when his time comes to leave this earth, the loss will not be felt in any hearts.
That I think is the ultimate statement of the value of the lives we live. How we affect others and weither or not we would be missed.
I don't think I have expressed all that very well, best I can fumble out right now.

My x wouldn't pay.. I gave him 3 months to start then went back to court. had his wages garnished.. then he quit.. a job he had had for 15 yrs.. started a new job , I went back and had it done again.. I will not give up.. My son deserves all i can get for him.... he just drinks it up and keeps the GF.. well taken care of! He has been in contempt of court more times thne i can remember.. its all very annoying.
