Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I feel a great deal of shame asking for help on the internet like this. I work hard and would rather take care of everything myself, but have been struggling to keep my head above water.
My daughter’s dad and I got into an argument and he became extremely irate, verbally abusive, and violent. He threw a table and shattered glass, all with our daughter in the other room. Fearing for our safety, I immediately grabbed her and left and have not seen or spoken to him since. He has not paid any child support since then either.
I have really been struggling taking on all the childcare expenses on my own and keep up with all the household/living expenses. My job used to be remote, but now I am in the office and have to drive two hours a day between work and school. I’ve doubled my gas usage and I also have to pay for aftercare for my daughter now.
I work full time and have been trying to find something I can do part time on the weekends as well, but cannot pay for more childcare. The help that I can receive from relatives and my parents is very limited as they are all elderly.
I have officially filed for child support, as we only had an agreement between us. My daughter’s father has not been cooperating, so the courts are still in the process of retrieving his financial information and then proceeding to garnish his wages. I’m unsure how much longer this will take as this has been going on for 5 months now.
Please if anyone can help in anyway, I would be so very grateful. It’s been difficult keeping food stocked up as my daughter is young and growing and eating a lot. I am also behind on my car payments and I don’t have enough to make rent this month. I just want my daughter and I to be ok and anything you can give will help me keep the roof over our heads, our car, and help me catch up while waiting for the child support to be finalized. I would not ask if we were not truly in need of a kind helping soul. Even if you’re unable to help, please share with someone else if you can. Thank you again for reading this, I sincerely appreciate it.
