I would hear about child support and how nobody ever got any. When I was 18 I had to leave and she couldnt wait. Money....was my main burden,or lack of and the amount of kids. Its expensive to feed and put clothes on 5 kids. No dentist or Dr appoinments because it cost money. No extras, money. I got my first "paycheck" real job when I was 11... I bagged ice,stocked shelves, sorted bottle return, so I could have money. At 13 I started waiting tables for more money. The other kids were to young so if they needed , soxs or field trip money they came to me , until they were old enough to work. Yet my mother and stepdad were gone 7 nights a week gambling....tyring to get more money. So for me the burden I felt was mainly exsistence due to finance.
