I don't know who I am more irritated with. My first husband that I have been divorced from for 8 yrs and we have 3 children together. He hasn't paid child support the whole time and just recently started helping out financially. He's very demanding and trys to dominate me......Hmmm. Why are we divorced?? This is the reason why I never pursued the child support issue. He would be the biggest pain in my butt ever. Plus my stubborn, irish, attitude has been if he doesn't have it in him to be man enough to KNOW that he should provide for his children then there is no point in fighting him or forcing the issue. That being said I am happy to say he is a very good father to the kids. He loves them and they mean a lot to him. He does support and recgonize how hard I try to raise them to be good kids. Kudos for that.
However!!....My youngest daughter isn't as lucky as the others. Not only does her dad not pay child support but he doesn't bother to call or make any attempt to see her. We are each others 2nd marriage and he has 6 other children from his 1st marriage. His first wife refuses to let him see his children, took him to court and nailed him to the wall with child support. She's not a very good person. But, I feel a bit of her pain and frustration when it comes to him. All I've ever wanted his for her to know her dad and he won't even give her that. It's so hard to hear her talk about him like he is the world's greatest person and I doubt she is a passing thought in his mind....unless it's to create some kind of drama in his mind or please his father.
It's safe to say..........They both really piss me off.
