Neither of us were able to get child support and the laws were pretty strict about that too. There were just too many ways for the fathers to go off the grid with jobs that paid in cash so they always got the sympathy of the courts because they were not employed (ha).

It wasn't easy but we both worked two and three jobs and we supported our own children.

Neither of us bad mouthed the fathers to the kids and they ended up having pretty good relationships with their dads.

What's done is done so it was better for our children to just let sleeping dogs lay. We lived but it wasn't easy.
