Thanks Fuzzy.

I'm so frustrated. My daughter refused to go with her dad this week. I supported her decision and told him I refused to force her to do something she didn't want. The ex and his g/f are sarcastic to her, accusing her of starting every disagreement. They can't be adults and take ANY responsibility for the tension in the house.

I'd gotten two accusatory e-mails from him in the span of several hours, even going so far as to accuse me of bringing on my daughter's growth problem because I'd had her treated for ADD and telling me I've been hiding all of her medical care from him for the last 14 years.

She hasn't lived with her dad at all this last month. I've had to support her 100% on my own. He hasn't contributed AT ALL beyond buying about $20 worth of cheap school supplies (the folders and notebooks that need replacing within a couple of weeks because they're so flimsy). I'm pissed beyond belief.

I have to increase her diet and it's taken all but $18 of my weekly budget so far. I have 5 days to stretch that $18 and have an empty gas tank and her school lunch account needs to be topped up, and she wants to go try on a $99 dress TODAY for Homecoming that she hasn't even been invited to yet.

I know my problems are miniscule compared to just about everyone else's, so why am I even *****ing?

And my INDOOR cat is howling nonstop to go outside so I can't even hear the doctor's dictation so I can earn money.

I just want to cry. I want someone to come to MY god damned rescue for once.
