Invitation to the Pity Party

I'm so, so bummed out.

Basically, my ex doesn't seem to care that he's left us high and dry. So now I don't know what I will do about my bills. Basically, if it weren't for the debt he left us with, we'd be okay. I make a decent amount of money, and I live cheaply. But I have this mountain of debt to pay off, and I can't do it by myself.

I can file for the back child support, but he doesn't have a job, and it hasn't been that long (a little over 2 weeks).

I can ask his parents for a loan, but who knows when I could pay it back.

I could file for bankruptcy, or sue him (maybe, I don't even know for sure).

Or I can just sit here and cry, which is what I'm doing.

Is he garnished? I know my mother had my dad garnished..she got every penny he owed her weekly every time he had a job!! He also lost his license and tax returns!!!

Definitely file for child support, even if it has been a short time bc as soon as he gets a job, it will be garnished. My sister waited until it was 6 months and then basically had to write it all off bc he had moved to a different state and she has NEVER gotten the money.

I'm still so sorry for this. What kind of dad doesn't care for his kids? That's just shameful!!
