FAN SUBMITTED QUESTION Im a 24 year old woman with a 2 year old. I left my childs father when I was 4 months pregnant because He was verbally, emotionally and eventually physically abusive. I had to get a restraining order against him for threatening to kill me, my mother, and our child. Needless to say he is not in our childs life. I also moved to another state to attend school. He had another child with this girl he is 8 years older than when my child was 18 months old. He already had a 4 year old when I had our child. He lives with the younger girl in public housing. The girl works, fast food, but he doesnt work, legally. When I put him on child support he told his first childs mother that I was taking all of his money as an excuse for not helping her with their child. My child received less that $200 a month in child support for about 3 months before he quit his job. His first childs mother put him on child support as a way to get back at me because she doesnt like me. He and the new girl are now begging me to take him off child support so he can get a job because they will have another child soon. They go to the club regularly, and smoke weed and drink, although she is underage. They feel as though I am doing good without his help because I havent received child support since March. I am a full time college student, I intern as well so I dont have time to work. I am getting by, by the grace of God. Me and my child dont look like we are struggling because I have help from my family and refund checks to cover our expenses. I cant get food stamps because I am a full time student but thank God my child qualified for WIC and state insurance. Him and the young girl both post pictures on fb and claim that they are straight and not hurting for shit yet they blame me for his financial problems. I put him on child support before his 1st childs mom and when he was working so he owes thousands of dollars in back pay because he quit his job and has not gotten the order modified. I am in the social service field so I never wanna see children go without but it is my responsibility to make sure my child is cared for before I concern myself with other people. His family says I think I am better than them because I am pursuing my Masters degree. They help support his other kids, by them clothes/shoes, but have never see nor done for my child. My question is should I compromise for the sake of his other children or should I just keep the order the same.
