Ex asking for money

[momoftwocuteboys8]

My soon to be ex called me the other day and asked to borrow a very small amount of money. He said he didn't have enought money to get to work and that if he didn't get to work then I wouldn't get any child support money. I quess he was trying to give me a guilt trip. I told him that I couldn't give him any money and that I would be uncomfortable doing so. I support my two children and myself on my paycheck alone since child support is sporadic and I don't think that I have to support him also. Has anyone ever dealt with this and/or what would you have done? I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks

It must make you angry that he came to you for money when you are trying to make things a go for your boys with the sporadic payments. I know the thing to do is to not give it to him, this will enable him to do this again but what would we normally do, help, with the heart of Christ. I was in the city with my husband the other day and paid for his parking fee of $25.00, that was close to half of what he gives me a week for my son. Will he give it back, will he thank me, no...He left us. I shouldn't be giving him any money for anything.

NO.

I paid my exs rent for three months - and then theres the debts and direct debits set up on her new flat on my income! - enough is enough.

I have the children , after all, when am I gona see any child-maintenence?

So, NO!
