Made up my mind. I'm going to pursue child support. I wasn't going to at first, but I'm going to now. It sucks when I struggle to pay basic bills because I have to buy diapers and clothes and basic necessities for my daughter while he blows $200 on weed and alcohol, spends money left and right on pawns, while his mom's disability covers their bills. It's hard. Being a single mom is rewarding, very, but the sacrifices financially sometimes are draining. I owe a friend $30 because she decided to buy me a box of diapers since we had 3 singles left. She bought a box of diapers for me because I had to choose to keep the electricity for heat on since it was freezing out. And all BD has done is nothing. Hasn't offered to help, hasn't asked about her, nothing...just shit talks us both and buys his addictions.

Any other mommas out there go through, or are going through, similar? I don't want to rely on child support to raise my daughter...but bills are ridiculous as it is and I can't support her alone quite yet...not on my salary. Any advice?
