Man, that sounds like a terrible situation. I always tell myself those words of the Roman poet Ovid, who said, “Endure and persist, this pain will not last.” It’s translated from Latin, so I am sure it is written other ways in other places. Still, it helps me stay strong.

It sounds as though everything is on her terms. Have you seen professionals, who can act as some form of go between, so that you can still see your child even though you are having financial troubles.

Honestly, I’ve read this post a few times wanting to offer some words of encouragement, but not sure what to say. If I know you as well as I think I do, you created this post more as a venting tool rather than a cry out for sympathy. Or, at least that’s my nature when discussing personal hardship. Regardless, I wanted you to know that I’m thinking of you and I hope things look up for you soon. Often times life isn’t easy, especially when it seems like your going through it all alone (so to speak), and everything bad and negative seems to hit you all at once. Or, snowball and squash you like a bug on a windshield.

I’d tell you life is always darkest before the dawn, but truthfully that won’t help you feel better, so all I can say is keep working hard, do your best, and even if your ex is not content be proud to know you are making the effort because in the end its your opinion that matters.

It sounds like she’s just being stubborn about the situation. Even if she’s a great mom, that doesn’t mean she’s an all-around great person. It sounds like she’s either trying to work you or she just doesn’t care about your situation. But who am I to pass judgment on someone I don’t even know? Maybe you guys can find a common ground, or maybe even find a counselor who can mediate for you, if that’s what it has to come down to.
