Been a while, but a little (long) rant from me...

Need a little venting here, hope you all don't mind 😊

You might guess correctly, it has to do with Aaralyn's dad. He for whatever reasons that he won't explain to me, is now telling me that he cannot pay the regular (measly) child support that he's been paying anymore and he doesn't know when it will start again 😲 why am I shocked? I guess I kind of expected this after we moved...

He knows that I only worked over the holidays and am now looking for another job, therefor bringing no income into this household, which means that he also knows that Mike is 100 percent, completely financially supporting Aaralyn right now (almost 200 us dollars a week just for school alone!). He tells me he has financial problems right now because he is paying for his own schooling (his job was paying for it)... I know that here, you don't have to start paying student loans back until 6 months after you've graduated (sometimes even more time) so to me that's a bull 😠 excuse! he won't give me the other reasons that he is financially strapped. He did own a 3 family apartment house of which he lived in the first floor apartment, and he's now living somewhere else with his girlfriend, so I don't if he sold his house or got foreclosed on or what, but maybe if he'd try to explain a little more I could understand why his pride is allowing him to let another man completely support his child.

Mike also paid for the airline tickets for us to go to Rhode Island so Aaralyn could see her dad... he never even said thank you or asked me to thank Mike for him, nor did he offer to pay anything toward Aaralyn's ticket 😠

I will say that until he shows an effort toward her again, she will not be going to see him again any time real soon and it makes me sad for Aaralyn, but it's not fair for her dad to take advantage of Mike like this and show no appreciation for it 😛

The other thing is, when I was still living in Rhode Island, I was struggling to pay rent, Aaralyn's school, food, you know all the things we need to live... he would now not be giving me child support even if I was up there still? I wonder?? I don't know how I would have kept a roof over her head if that would have been the case 🙁

I know her dad loves her but there's more to being a good dad then just loving your kid... I still will not say bad things about him to or in front of Aaralyn, but I can say this to you guys: Mike is sooooooo much more a daddy to her now and unfortunately for Scott (her dad) when she is older, it is Mike that she is going to have more appreciation for. I wish he would get his act together and be there for her so she can look back and know that she had 2 special caring men in her life!

dont know what to say except big hugs to you all and some men are ********

Oh hunni - masswive hugs!!!!!1 😘 😘

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

thanks girls 😘

It's such a shame, he will regret it in the future too, he just won't realise until it's too late.

I'm sure Aaralyn will always love her dad. Mike is a good man to support Aaralyn so well.

Hugs hun 😘 😘 😘

😘 To both you and Aaralyn.xx

Aaralyn says thanks for the hugs and I was glad to give her some extra ones from ya... good thing for her right now, she's oblivious to his ways and that's ok with me because I don't want her having hurt feelings or feeling unwanted by him.
