I live at my mothers house, and they complained that my father was not paying Child Support(Even though he was). So this year when he starts doing it in large amounts they go out and buy everything they want, and then we end up poor. Its for bills, and for me. Not you. They literally just bought a $2000 Guitar. I barley get any of it towards me, I don't even get clothes from it.

Anyone else annoyed by this?
 
My parents divorced after I turned 18. They separated when I was 17. So I never had to deal with child support, and I was old enough to understand and actually be in favor of the divorce.
 
Yes, my mom spends it responsibly though. If she used the child support money for a giant TV screen, yeah I would be irritated
 
My parents divorced when I was six,but they are still close.My dad get's a good amount of money and always pays child support.I'm not bothered by it,and I do not really understand,sorry.
 
Er, my parents split when I was 4. My mom never took me to school, so I was a problem child, which caused my dad to go to court numerous times. Then when they 'split' (They never actually divorced???) my mom dropped my off at my grandparent's and everyone thought she was going to 'pick me up' when she actually ran away with my sister's dad. Like, who even does that? My sister had to live with my grandparent's for 7 years because of that.

Anyways, my dad spends all of his money on cigarettes and doesn't have a job, so you can just let that play out in your mind, lmao.
My grandparent's had to pay for my braces and everything (with costed thousands.) with him not even helping. My siblings and I calculated his totals on drugs and it could've singlehandedly pay for one of us to college.

tbh I don't even care anymore because I don't live with either of them. Sorry for the long post, by the way, I didn't plan for it to be this long. It kinda' just turned into me ranting, lol.

My parent's divorced a year ago, actually. ^ ^ ; ;

I kind of saw it coming, actually. They were usually fighting a lot and they didn't actually spend a lot of time together. I don't know why, but it actually didn't bug me.. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but, it was pretty loud in the household for a while.

Either way, I live with my mother. We're doing pretty okay, but she's been going through some emotional issues, of course.
 
Ah.. that sucks :( . Maybe you can talk to your dad privately to see if he can send you some money so you can buy things for yourself (i.r. clothing, etc)
 
I dont even know the deal with my parents. Like when i was in 5th or 6th grade my dad moved out and it was INCREDIBLY sudden and random. Like they never showed any sign of fighting or anything. I noticed how the tv in my moms room was gone and I asked her where it went and she didnt really answer me. They get along fine nowadays idk if we get chid support and idk if they are actually divorced. Im too afraid to ask. Its been about 4 or 5 ish years

I was 5 years old when my parents split up. I honestly blame most of my depression on it, not the divorce itself but what resulted from it.
 
My parents divorced less than a year after I was born so it didn't affect me drastically as far as I know. They're also pretty well off so they don't get into any arguments about money and such.
 
My parents never technically got legally married. They have issues often. Mostly because my dad is drunk every night and doesn't support enough
 
My father no longer pays for me anymore as I am over 18, the child support is for food and what not and to help your mother pay for you living costs, school costs and what not.
 
my parents divorced before i was born
i dont talk to or see my father
i dont even know about my mother anymore

im living with my grandma
i feel like ****
 
Honestly my parents should've split long ago, but they're toughing it out with each other...who knows if that's the right path for them. Only they can say.

Though they''re going to move back in with me (it's complicated aha) but I'd rather not deal with their fighting anymore...they said they'd be good but. Shrug.
 
My parents separated when I was really young. My dad has his own family now, and only really talks to me when it has to do with getting things in my name.. Like the car I drive and such.

So I don't really care. He has his own life and I have mine. Sometimes you make the effort, and the other person doesn't put in their part and you feel like ****.

Kind of at that point where I'm like, i'm not gonna force you to be a part of my life if you don't want to be. I don't need the extra baggage, or the emotional distress.

So yeah

Yeah, you don't have to have divorced parents to understand this. My parents were never married and for 11 years of my life, my gambling addict mother blew the child support my father was paying her on things like trips to the casino and cigarettes. Lots of kids go through the same thing without their parents ever even living in the same household.
 
I mean
it helps that my dad doesn't pay child support.

Maybe you should go live with your dad?
