Hi all,
thought I'd drop In and post.
This Is going to be a long post. dealing with a lot right now. I received a text from my ex letting me know he no longer ever wants to see his daughter again. I also got a letter about child support, seems my ex lied to a sheriff to try and get out of being served. I spoke to my worker and she asked did I have a picture of him and I did so I took the picture/his cell number/his girlfriends name in and she's going to pass it along to a sheriff. I was informed i cannot get a court date if he does not get served.. to top all of that off my family has turned their backs on me and it's a struggle just to do simple things like go buy milk. I'm also dealing with a friend who gets mad every single time i speak to another guy. I've informed him that due to him getting so emo about it the chances of him and i dating is slim to none. I just cannot understand why every single thing has to be so difficult. I am struggling so much to raise my daughter alone and i can never catch a break. i've been going without sleep ( 1-2 hours a night ) and am rarely eating. i'm under so much stress that i'm afraid i'm going to end up collapsing and the sad thing is my daughter would end up being placed in a home because her father wouldn't be around and my family wouldn't step up either. Anyway, this Is just a look at what I've been dealing with and why I haven't posted much.
Hope everyone Is doing well.
I am so sorry you are having to deal with so much. That's just awful about ex not helping your little one - I hope they get him and hold him accountable for helping with her expenses.
That's a real shame and disappointing that your family has turned their back on you - that should never happen like that. For the sake of your daughter, they should be helping to make sure she's taken care of. (By the way, our family is dealing with a similar thing - because of our dtr-in-law and her mom, our son has nothing to do with our/his whole family. Plus they have a newborn daughter, and he never told us - I had to see it on Facebook.)
You sound wise about the friend is is jealous of you speaking with other men. You don't need that on you, with everything else on you.
I sure hope you can start getting some rest - you need it. Have you ever heard of WIC? Here is the link - they help women with children up to age 5 with food and supplements. I have a friend who gets help from them for her 2 year old. She's in a similar type situation, too, except the ex hurts her and Defax helped to get her a separate place away from him, plus she has a Restraining Order against him. But WIC has been a very big help for her and her little one. Let me know if it's something that can help you:
