Much love guys. Today's first story is title, My Dad Begrudges Spending Money on Me.

I've changed the names in this in case anyone finds it and recognizes it. I need this off my

chest as it bothers me a lot and has been for more than a decade now. My 24 female parents split

when I was nine years old. They were teenagers when they had me in. I remember

their relationship wasn't always the greatest when they were together. Lots of arguments and shouting.

When they split, I stayed with my mother 42 female in the house they had bought together,

whilst my dad, 41 male, moved away to live with a friend of his, Mike.

That was a lie. Mike was actually Emma, who'd been seeing while he was still with my mum.

Dad eventually married Emma, but they had divorced a few years later. He's now with another woman,

Jane. After my parents split, my dad didn't bother to see me for months and

paid nothing towards my mom to help take care of me. He later tried to have a kick from the house

so he could redecorate it and sell it, despite me and mom having nowhere to stay. Eventually,

my mom found us a rented place nearby to live in. We lived there for nearly 10 years, during which time my dad had finally started to visit me

and also paid child support, though very reluctantly.

He was unwilling to help my mom in other ways.

Once, my school shoes were ruined and when the weather had been constantly bad for weeks

and my mom couldn't afford

a new pair. So my dad gave her the money then skimmed it off the next child support payment.

I should note here that my dad is an engineer and has always earned at least 10k more a year
