Just needed to vent since I’m sure many can relate: I work a demanding job and yet still make time for my kids (50/50). I own and maintain the house. I work to make enough for myself to get by while also paying alimony and child support. I have to litigate my ex’s continuing violations of our custody agreement. I always keep up with needs for the kids’ school, clothes, etc. I still find ways to make time for my girlfriend and friends. I have no help from family as they’re all out of the country.

My ex doesn’t work. She lives off the alimony I paid her and our savings I made for us while working hard to support the family when we were together. She has all the help in the world from family who all live nearby.

I’m tired. I never feel at ease. There’s always something to do, something to catch up on. The deck is stacked against me but I keep going, doing the best that I can.

Just needed to vent for a second. I’m sure others can relate.
