I'm so freaking depressed right now. I wanna tear my hair out. My husband overdrew our account $200 without telling me then he knows he has to pay child support which he didn't send the check in and the money he took out was for the kids. Then get $40 from helping his grandparents and blows it. He is the only one working our finances our screwed we won't have even close to enough to cover child support rent and utilities. On top of all of it I've been trying to keep the house clean so he is happy and overworked myself to the point I tore a stitch. I'm ready to just give up take my daughter and leave.

What do you think will solve the problem?

I'm sorry hun! That sounds so frustrating. There are emergency services that may be able to help you cover rent and utilities this month. You will need his pay stubs. We had issues with finances for a while because I'm a squirrel and he is a spender. Sit down and write down the budget and pull out rent right when you get each check so you are sure it is tucked away and not so easy to spend.
They shouldn't come after him with a court date if he misses one payment of child support unless he is super far behind and even then you will have a few weeks to catch up that payment. They rarely put a dad in jail for a missed payment even when far behind.
Focus on rent and utilities and ask your community for support like churches and places like that. They are good for a one time deal.
I hope things work out for you!
Slow down for your body hun. I was cleaning like crazy too right after my little one and burned myself out. It's not worth the clean house for a few hrs. Relaxing and loving your baby is the most important thing right now. The house is loyal enough to keep the mess waiting until you are ready to clean it 😉
I had to edit because autocorrect thinks it knows what I want to say better than I do lol

I've been trying to budget our money so it lasts all month, literally writing it down helped me to see how much spending money we have after I pay bills. I take care of the finances, even though it's my husbands money he doesn't leave the house much due to his ptsd. I've had to start acting more responsibly and decided to do a budget since we struggled for a few months and I know it was partly my fault. Being overdrawn really sucks.
