Not too long ago a girl turned 18, it was a big deal. His father, who wasn’t around much, called him out of the blue. What he said was surprising – he seemed happy that she was an adult now, implying that he didn’t have to give any more money for her.
Determined to hold him accountable for years of unpaid child support, she found her voice and spoke out. Here’s what she had to say.
She just started college

What happened was that the young woman just turned 18 and went to college. Her mother and several other women in her family raised her. At that time, his father was and had never been a part of his life.
She never saw her father

She said she never saw her father in person. She added: “Not once. He called, Skyped and FaceTimed me several times, but we never met.
He tried to influence her

He even caused the young woman to resent her mother at one point. She mentioned: “He told me several times that my mother was going to abort me, he lied to her and stopped me from seeing him. »

The young woman then discovers that her father lied to her. His mother didn’t hold him back. He had their address and contact information for the 18 years she grew up, and he chose to never visit them himself.
She discovered she had brothers and sisters

Over time, the young woman discovered that her father had lied more. He has fathered other children over the years, one of them being very recent.
She said: “I was shocked. I met a few of my sisters who, at the time, were all receiving child support. At least that’s what they were told.
He never paid his family

The court ordered several child support payments for her, but he never paid a single one. She didn’t want to see her father go to prison, where he had been for a few years, so she never reported him.
Things were hard growing up

For her and her mother, things were sometimes difficult. They couldn’t always make ends meet. And his father never contributed financially. Not a single cent.
Then he called her to brag

Her father called her, he was “glad to be in college so he never had to worry about sending me a dime.”
She continued: “He told me that I was eighteen so it wasn’t his problem and that I should be happy that he even gave me the time of day.”
She wants him to pay

After hanging up, it didn’t sit well with him. He was never a father to her, and now he was calling her to brag.
She decided to make him responsible. He has to pay more than $90,000 in unpaid child support and she wants her mother to report him when he doesn’t pay.
She asked for our opinions

She feels conflicted. She wants to receive child support, so that her mother does not need to pay all of her college tuition and housing costs herself. However, she is afraid that her father will go back to prison or be angry with her.

“You’re not a fool,” one said. “Why do you worry about what happens to him?” It was one [deadbeat] father and broke the law, he must therefore face the consequences. I’m sorry there isn’t a better system in place to make deadbeat parents cough up.
