I saw your post on single parents and I'm not sure if I'm blocked by you or not so who knows if you'll even see this.

I know waiting for CS is a pain. I've actually read a few of your other posts describing how your son's father is making no effort to see him and is fighting CS tooth and nail.

I know you are looking forward to the extra money. I just want to you know that you shouldn't really count on it and if you need it to be able to afford to move out of your parent's house, then it's probably not time for you to move out. You should be able to stand on your own two feet and if you ever do receive CS, it should only be supplemental income.

But really, based on what you've typed, it seems like you're going to be one of the cases who never receives money from the biological father. You said that he is fighting it and you said it seems like his wife is also encouraging him to fight it.

I think one of the best things you can do, no matter how hard it sucks, is stay put and save like crazy. Maybe apply at a community college and get assistance through FAFSA to at least get an associates degree. The time and effort will be worth it.

It's common knowledge that I don't like you. But I definitely empathize with your situation and wanted to at least give you what advice I have.

Bravo, T.  I think that's good advice.  Personally, I like SFB09 and wish her well.  I also wish you well (and I love the new Colin pics).  I know this post was not to me, but I wanted to give you a little public credit for being helpful (I'm taking this post at face value).
