As title says, royally pissed off and upset. I know I'm going to get some grief for this however, I need to vent. Split with ex husband 2018, youngest was 11. This child is the most amazing, caring intelligent and talented kid I've ever known. Their decision to cut contact with father, I actively encouraged and tried to mend the relationship. Had to give up when it was causing a breakdown in our own relationship. Kid is now 18, has severe mental health issues, we've been through hell. Diagnosis of Bi polar and some trauma that I'm not going into. Ex, always wanted to fix things but gave up eventually. I've worked my absolute backside off to get off benefits and stand on my own 2 feet. Eldest kiddo has come out the other side, has a great relationship with their dad. Ex has paid his child support from the get go, nothing more nothing less. Is now married again and still lives in what was our family home, he bought me out for peanuts. I now own my own home again, a very small place but it's mine. Youngest just turned 18, can't work or manage full time education, they have tried.. so much! I'm low income but work in a semi professional sector and heavily relied on the maintenance payment to get by, which he has stopped immediately as kid turned 18. He is well within his rights to do this, I totally understand that but to me it just seems so wrong! Wiping your hands of any financial responsibility for child you wanted and brought lnto the world just because they're now 18...even though he knows very well they can't work and I struggle to manage seems like a real arsehole move. No conversation no contact from him, just stopped. I really don't know how I'm going to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table now, he earns more than double my income but always pleads poverty, I'm absolutely gutted. I'm not looking for answers, just maybe some validation that it's OK to feel this bloody let down? Why should I have to be the only parent financially supporting our child!!
