about
I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.I'm one of the very blessed.
I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.
Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.
Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.
I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.

My dad left about 2 years ago. I am in serious financial trouble becasue I am a full time student and part time worker. I have tuition to pay fro and am 20yrs old. My dad and i don't speak very much but he asked me not to file any claims and he would "try" to send me money. he has send me MAYBE a total of 400 dollars since April. How do i file a claim against him. I need money and he should help me...what do i do???
I guess I'm confused as to what these claims are?
If you feel he's responsible for your college, I don't see how that is right. You are 20 years old, and responsible for yourself legally, not Dad.
If you are 20 and he left 2 years ago, then he shouldn't owe any support for you, considering you would have been 18. We all know that once a person hits 18, they are legally responsible for themselves.
Sure, he SHOULD help you with your tuition, being your father and all. I just don't understand how he's legally responsible for your finances?
I'd wager you'd do much better being responsible for yourself and filing for grants and student loans.
Then again, I only have what you've written above to go by.

(Rating: 4) Thnx for trying to understand my question, I have looked into it and there is such a thing as "adult child suppor" sounds like an oxymoron but it exists. And no i cannot help myself he left us with a 20000 dollar debt and I and my mother live alone, pay for our own medical, bills, AND School!
