| How many sinle parents have their kid or kids with no help?
Posted: 7/30/2006 3:23:36 PM | i am a single mom to a six and a half year old girl.
I left her abusive father when i was 6 months pregnant, and never looked back. He doesn't pay child support, and has only seen his daughter twice. Both times his parents deceived me.
Even though he is not a part of my daughter's life, I get quite a bit of help from my family (out of town and in), and my brother-in-law accepts her as one of his. | |

Posted: 7/30/2006 3:33:05 PM | I don't think our situation is very common, I have 3 wonderful kids that live with me full time, mom has not been around at all to help.
There are a number of fathers rights groups out there, and to read the reports, far too many of them are completely cut off from thier kids, so consider yourself lucky to have yours.
Best of luck with all the challenges ahead, and know that there are a couple of other dads out here fighting the same fight my friend | |

Posted: 7/30/2006 4:03:26 PM | Hey, Malfinkc.
Just dropping a line to say, couldn't have said it better. I have been a single dad of two for 16 years..no help..no ex..The real losers are the fathers who walk away and whine about child support..If they pay..My two are adults now, and have left the nest..I'm proud that I assesed things and went ahead, as you said..You will look back and be proud you weren't drawn into self pity.
Good luck, Al | |

Posted: 8/7/2006 12:04:57 AM | | Well it is more common than one would think, although for some of us it isn't the consequence of another person not caring or wanting to be there. I'm almost 3 years on my own with 3 little people after losing my wife. We are managing just fine, with adjustments made along the way. I just hope I do a good enough job preparing them for the real world. | |

Posted: 8/7/2006 12:56:49 AM | I am a single mom of an absolutly beautiful 22 month old son. Well what can I say the sperm donor has three other kids from three different mothers that I didn't know about untill one week before I found out I was pregnant.
The donor comes by maybe once a month, but he hasn't given a dime for the past four months and before that it was only if it didn't cut into his beer money. In regards with the no help I think he doesn't help, he is more of a nucaince that comes by unannounced and make my son all happy just to leave within 30 min.
That is all I have to say for now, thanks for reading | |

Posted: 8/12/2006 10:01:44 AM | Hey,
I've raised my two children 18 & 14 years on my own. Never received a dime in child support, never had a weekend free.
and I love it!
My kids have grown up with some disgruntled feelings about not having their dad's around, but now, tell me they have had a good life, and have no hard feelings.
My son tells me that if he ever has kids, he will never put them though that, and will be the best Dad he can be. For this I know I have done a great job.
I think it's more common then most people realize. It's just a matter of how you want to accept it. They (there mom / dad) are the ones missing out on a lot of great times and memories! | |

Posted: 8/12/2006 12:12:45 PM | | me... i do... but it's by my choice... my baby's daddy was not a "father figure" And personally i don't want his help because it shows weakness. well thats the way he looks at it. he used to be like... "oh yea she's coming crawling back" But i wasen't i just wanted help financially and him to watch her sometimes so i could go out.... that's all i asked him for... because i knew i wouldn't get any more than that outta him. He was too wrapped up in his own life. So after i couldn't even get those few things from him i decided to kick him to the curb cuz he was just making my life hell. so i am a single parent by choice. But i just recently met a man who has kids too and he are hitting it off great! | |

Posted: 8/21/2006 10:59:09 AM | | Same here no help in the way of child support, but my x can not hold a job never could. So if I sued her for child support I would just cause myself trouble and court dates etc.Not worth it for 200 a month or whatever | |

Posted: 8/21/2006 11:09:23 AM | | Very single here, too. But I do recieve child support. Our government pays a minimum of $200 a month if the dad is unable to pay or for other reason does not pay. That includes the ones that has no name of a father listed. | |

Posted: 8/21/2006 6:27:23 PM | | I am a single mother of a 3 yr old boy. His father lives in New Brunswick and I'm in Ottawa. He moved there after we broke up. He never really helped while we were together and he doesn't really help now. He calls him every once in a while. But he doesn't pay child support or anything. His visited once since he moved. Except for the time he took off with him for 3 months! | |

Posted: 8/22/2006 1:50:40 AM | | from '75 until '82 i was a single parent (including the time i spent married to my first husband who was usually in jail or rehab and i didn't get any help - or support- from him when he WAS home, or after the divorce). after my second husband died in '95 i was a single mom again until '01 and since his medical bills bankrupted us there was nothing left of his to help. sometimes it's just you and the kids doing the best you can. | |
