So the appointment yesterday went very well. We actually met on the way there because XF didmt know where she was going, she asked if she could follow me. Through the appointments we obviously we're focused on what the doctors had to say, but we had a few minutes in between each on and had what I thought was very good interaction. Even a few jokes.

When we were leaving I gave S4 a piggy back to the vehicle and got another little joke or two in. Got to the vehicles and she wanted to talk about child support again?!?! I asked what more there was to talk about. We have been down this road many times already and every time I have told her that if she wants support she can pay half of his child care, insurance and other costs. (I currently pay EVERYTHING for him, not complaining he is my son). We have 50/50 custody, currently a verbal agreement, but have a L working on the paperwork. She continues to say when S4 is at her appartment he uses her electric, trash, water.... Trying to justify herself. I agreed with her that he does. Then I asked her if she was willing to help me pay for my home because he uses the same stuff when he is with me?

I hate to say it but I think the appointment went so well because she was buttering me up in hopes that I would just fold and give her money? I get what she is saying, but through this whole process I have taken a financial beating. Every turn has cost me money. Lawyer, S4 child care, S4 health insurance, replacing things in the house that she took, extra running because she can't go to my parents to drop off or pick up S4, groceries for her place 3 times, post office box, as well as picking up the bills at my he that she used to pay. I feel like I am bleeding money... And she wants more??? I understand she struggles to make ends meet, but none of the costs of raising a child are in her court. It would be money for her.
