I have not taken child support for my dd as we have never really needed it, I didn;t want to have to rely on him , I didn't like how he earnt his money and I knew he had a child to support.
But I may be leaving my dp in a few months and money will be tight. To be honest even if I stay with dp we may need the maintenance as we have some money problems after taking out a loan for medical bills ( to treat my depression (caused in part by dd father's abusive behaviour) and we have still not sold our house so we are paying mortgage plus rent.
I really do not want to have to ask for the money but I may have to swallow my pride. But am I being unfair to ask for maintenance out of the blue after saying I did not want it.

AIBU?
To consider asking dd father for maintenance when I have told him I don't want it and he has another child to support.
