GW, We have a legal separation in place with set child support for all 4 kids that are in my custody. She has yet to pay me any of the childsupport for the entire time she lived with the OM. The number just keeps going up until she either pays it or we reconcile and the case is pulled. If we do reconcile the amount of owed freezes and she is still responsible to pay it off. Even if she lives back at home.
I just feel like she knows that i do love my family and that i will help no matter what. So i feel that she uses my mindset to get what she wants. Why didnt she ask OM for money? Why come to me? He gets her love and affections and I get to pay her bills.
I have just felt like a complete idiot all weekend. I have left myself so short for this week after giving that money to her. I cant help but beat myself up for it. My MIL went nuts on me, but she pitched in and went grocery shopping with me to make sure we had everything we need.
