[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I make under $45k and my ex makes over $120k. We split custody of the kids. They are mostly with my ex during the week but as much as it hurts and I have tremendous pain I'm mostly okay with it because he has more funds for them and a much nicer house. I get sad when I think about the kids in my tiny apartment. I also think that if he ever remarries or meets someone the kids are his priority and are benefiting from him financially as opposed to me just getting a tiny amount of child support from him. FWIW I was a SAHM for 7 years and removed from my career for that time. When I went back to work I was making barely anything.

The situation sucks on so many levels but I think ultimately it is best for the kids. [/quote]

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. My heart hurts for you. ((Hug))[/quote]

I'm in a similar financial situation.  I live in a little apt with a crap neighborhood, but I'm also the parent who helps my very social daughter maintain friendships, and takes her swimming, and birdwatches with her.  She's with me 50% of the time, and I actually think it's to her benefit to ride the bus, know what it's like to have less and interact with other people who have less.  I do think it's admirable to put your kids first, and I respect you for that top poster, but don't sell yourself short.  You can make a good life for your kids even when you're broke.[/quote]
