Need some prayers please

Johnna,

I know someone who was on disability that was ordered to pay $80/week for their one toddler son. I would think that someone that is able to work should have to pay more than someone who is rightfully on disability!

Good luck..and kiss your daughter's boo-boo gently for me!

ps..my ex..the kid's sperm donor....was only ordered to pay $30/week per child and he couldn't seem to manage that amount. Sometimes, I think we are way better off without that measley amount than to have to deal with their dumb a$$'s!

Sherri, thank you for taking the time to think about me with all you are dealing with. I pray for you every day in hopes that they will get things straightened out for you.
That boggles my mind that someone on disability paid that much! Well I accepted a low support to begin with because I just wanted my kids, I was on welfare at the time because he basically kicked me out due to the fact that our house was one in his family so, he told me if you want to leave GO. I put in for housing and by a miracle from a long list of applicants I got a house in 2 weeks. I worked part-time and paid some rent, took food stamps and put myself through school. I got my business degree and a full time job and met the man of my dreams and we moved in together approx 2 years after going on govt assistance. It was hard and humbling and I lived for a year waiting to get my divorce overwith and he wouldn't pay me a cent. I had to take student loans to live because I wouldn't take tanif money only food stamps and housing. But, 2 years ago I married my soul mate and my world is ok. My kids adore him and we are great. But, that bas!ard needs to be more responsible than he is. He thinks he knows everyone and hob knobs with snobs but he himself couldn't even keep a job at Wal-Mart. Now, I've worked there myself and it wasn't bad. All you had to do was actually move to work. My husband has been out of work for 5 months and just got a job and I wasn't whining and complaining. But when he loses a job he stops paying support and then has to make it up. I never know until i just stop getting a check. He is just such a part of my past that I thank for having my kids. He was verbally abusive and even physically a couple of times early on then years later when he backed me in a corner with his fists and my kids were screaming in the other room, I said "ENOUGH". I left and didn't go back.

Thank you and bless you. You are one of the most gracious souls I know. In fact, all my sista-friends on here are. But, you are the leader of the pack girlfriend.  Take Care!!

Hi Johnna, BTW I love your name one of my best friends name is Johnna...
I know you don't know me, Im Sherri's daughter... Can't wait to meet ya! My husband pays 100/week for his 4yr old. And believe me he doesn't earn hundreds of thousands a year. It seems like they didn't even want to put into consideration of our two boys he supports also, But 37 a week? Thats crazy especially when you hear that Indiana is such a 'woman's state' for that stuff, Im sorry about your daughter's thumb, hope she gets feeling better fast! I would be razzing that gym teacher for a long time! lol My prayers are with you and your daughter!

Prayers being said for you tonight & tomorrow.It is tough raising kids nowadays- especially financially.
Hope she heals quickly, & your day goes well tomorrow.
HUGS,
Ellen

My daughter's sperm donor paid me a total of $50 in her entire life.  Never saw her or remembered birthdays or Christmas.  He got married and had two more children (sons), and gave the world to them. 

She went over (as an adult) one Christmas and the things he gave his children were over the top, she got rubbermaid and a set of glassed.  That was it.  Several years later when she had her daughter he wanted a relationship, she did not feel the same way but was cordial.

He died unexpectedly two years ago, when she was contacted and told Michael died...sadly she replied Michael who?   He was not close enough to her for her to think of him when told.

These guys abandon children and do not face their responsibilities and never get to know the neat children they father.

Sad but true.
