Dilemma?
While talking to a mate tonight, he pointed out to me that since my ex's gf has been living with him, her salary should, under UK Child Support Agency regulations, have been taken into account when determining the amount of financial support I receive for Lol for the last year.
This would mean an increase of roughly £200 per month on what I receive now. That is a lot to me.
My dilemma is balancing Lol's needs and my current financial incapacity to meet them against how I would feel, if it was me, entering into a new relationship and having to pay to support the child of my partner's ex-partner, who after all, was the one who ended their relationship.
I dont know what to do about this. Point it out, and be once again the 'Bitch from Hell'? Or say nothing, and let my daughter suffer because I cant afford to give her the things her friends have as a matter of course?
