donation!? I pay for and provide everything for my son, insurance, school, after care, activities, basic essentials such as clothes and a roof over his head working my ass off while he does nothing all day, has 2 cars, and makes more in disability than i do working. the only reason i even get that is because my son lives with me, not by my asking or his. I cannot afford to change majors and start over while caring for my child, nor do i think its fair that I cannot have the chance to improve our lives since his father will not and stated for the record, contribute to his sons education or expenses in the future. He could care less about his son the first 5 years of his life, and he even up and moved to arizona for 9 months without so much of a phone call until after he was already there. he made no efforts to contact his son in that time frame either. I am choosing to move so I can have a real career to support my child, not live on a salary that is less than the cost of renting a one bedroom apartment in our court set 50 mile radius for a year. This is not a hypothetical situation, I busted my ass for the last 7 years trying to make a life for my son and myself and now that I'm nearing 30, I'd like to be able to start settling down and buy a home, etc... And yes we discussed this with our 7 year old son, we asked him what his feelings were about moving and such. if my son was adamant about not moving then we would not be going. And how dare you insult my intelligence?! I graduated at the top of my program, magna cum laude from a distinguished university here. Not to mention I managed to do this while working and caring for my child with no help at all from him or anyone else... but when a fellowship program offers 12-15 openings and over 2,000 grads apply, yea competition is a little tough...
I'm so glad this site is supposed to provide a forum for advice or question...you ask for help/advice and instead you are insulted and accused by people that do not even know your situation nor you... What a waste of a potentially good site...
