Hi all...
I've been an off and on here since stbx left in August...contrary to my name, I'm no longer a SAHM, but working at my ds school in order to pay the bills. We haven't been to court yet for custody/support, but I'm asking for primary custody, because stbx is an irresponsible ass and of course support/alimony so I can get my teaching certificate and make some real money and obtain benefits...stbx has not cut off the $1000/month direct deposit from his paycheck, so I have that, but still need tuition for ds school and those evil insurance bills that come up every 6 months...stbx is fighting tooth and nail, though he has a pretty good job and is currently living with ow, so pays no rent. My mother has offered to pay these bills for me, but she is 70 years old and on a fixed income. I don't really feel right about it. I've only received 1 paystub from the school so far, and that is not going to pay much.
I won't take ds out of this kindergarten program, it is the best in the area...oh, and my attorney says stbx is supposed to pay it, and stbx even told my mom and the director of the school he was going to pay, but turned around today and told them both that he never said that and that I was supposed to pay...yea, he's the whack job, but I have unpaid bills...
I am feeling a bit scared and basically whacked out about the whole situation.
There are so many of you that have it so much harder than I, maybe today is just a crappy day...but any advice, at all, would be so appreciated.

You put one foot in front of the other.... try to sleep at night... and do all you can during the day.


Will the school give you a discount since you are working there?
