Asking as my eldest daughter isoff to Uni in Ireland. We're Irish.we're separated.
Dad refusing to contribute a single cent.
Contributes e50
Per week per child now and again and says that if he does get money to contribute he is stopping maintenance.
I've always shielded my kids from his meanness, disinterest and uselessness as a man and father but is enough enough.
I've been advised that my 19 year old daughter should be told the truth.

Aibu to tell her the reality.

I will be funding her fees and accom myself.. approx e 10,000 .
All else falls to her which is fair I think. She has a great pt job at weekends.

I don’t know when they realise but I’d love to hear from others.

DD has decided she would like to live with her dad 2 weeks a month.

He has never done a school run, cooked her a real meal, never had to wake in the night with her.

add to that he has 2 accusations of rape to answer for in court in January and SS have recommended no overnights and the fact that he’s seen her probably 5 times max this year.

I feel you OP.
