He constantly refers to it as MY money and no matter how calmly I try to explain that it helps support his daughter, he's just not that rational. I love to hear about how other people are able to make things work post-divorce. That was my goal for many years, in spite of all the resistance my ex gave me. I'm finally to the point where it's just better for our daughter and for me if him and I no longer speak except in emergencies. It's silly for it to come to this. Congrats on being able to explain the situation and having your ex truly hear what you had to say. Your daughter will benefit from that healthy relationship so much!!Trish Samshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557682760734854010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142712941823374697.post-74272800348584111192015-11-19T00:40:33.833-08:002015-11-19T00:40:33.833-08:00Caring for a child comes with great rewards.

He realized how important support means for her.<br /><br /><a href="https://kurtzandblum.wordpress.com/2015/08/17/faqs-about-car-accident-claims/" rel="nofollow">Joanne Krueger @ Kurtz And Blum</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205065457263761390noreply@blogger.com
