am I wrong
Me and my husband separated almost a month and are going through a divorce well he saw our kids last weekend for maybe an hour and a half. Long enough to say he was here and bring a box of diapers and a bag of wipes for our son nothing for our daughter. Well I asked if he had any monetary support to give so I could feed them to . He said no that he had to have money to get him food. Well he also had just said before that that he had bought $80 worth of food for his house already for him . So what 1 person needs more food. ? Especially knowing currently I'm not working bc I clearly don't get help from him and I can't afford to put both our almost 3 year old and our 3 Month old in daycare right now my parents have been helping me with everything but it's not their job their daddy should be contributing some. I'm not saying all bc it's my responsibility too . But he says he has no money but has the money to order a $20 pizza and get so intoxicated on alcohol he can't drive anywhere.... do I have a right to be upset and feel he's only thinking about himself. He also has not asked about our kids. And has not spent more than a couple hours with them since we split up . Currently anytime he has them it's with his parents so they help him and If he wants to leave or something he can do so... am I over reacting?

The question shouldn't be are you overreacting, it should be why aren't you going for child support..

I have. Just waiting for them to make a case.

Fyi. If you are in the US, some states will pay for childcare so you can work. Take a trip to the social services office (welfare) get on food stamps so you can feed your kids and see if they will help pay for childcare so you can work.

You are not wrong to be upset. You both have mouths to feed and he's flaking. You are going to have to find a job so that you can make ends meet. Maybe offer to babysit for someone else's children? In some places, the school system hires and trains bus drivers and let's you bring your children with you on the job. But you're going to need to hustle.

I went to the welfare office because I'm not getting any help either at the moment because we are still in process of going to court, even the welfare won't help me pay to feed my son. Just myself for now since my ex won't send a letter stating he's not helping me. If he sends the letter I can get help for the two of us. He never sent it, I'm still feeding my son off my portion of food stamps and it's not enough. It's a long rough road.

Also, the learning experience provides food. I'm sure tgere are other places tgat will as well. Kiddie academy was similar, I don't know if state covers it.
