Child Support????????

I was stupid to think he could change. Sitting here alone with a baby in an apartment that his $400 a month could buy. I get so frustrated sometimes wondering if my son John will be the one to go to college and graduate, better yet graduate high school. But i don’t know how to do that when i get the littlest bit of money only to buy myself a little bit off food and some diapers for him. I didn’t finish school and I got kicked out when I told my mom that I was pregnant, my friends left me when I told them that I was pregnant as well. I have no one to turn to i try to pray but look where I ended up…nowhere…no, I did get something, i got a baby on my arm that I can barely take care of and a deadbeat daddy that can’t pay the Child Support. I always think to myself why do they call it Child Support when usually the only time anyone ever uses it is when they have no money to take care of their children or even themselves. But whatever Social Services are gonna take him away and just leave me here to stay.
