After close to 21 years of paying child support for 4 children, I learned that I am now done.
Over those years I have experienced a great deal of hardship by giving approximately 51% of my income. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining as it was my duty and I did it as faithfully as I could.
As a reward I have 4 well adjusted adult children who, for the most part, are thriving after their own fashion. As adults, I can only offer suggestions and opinions as they weave their own way through life.
As a parent I know my job will never be over but, for the first time in about 21 years I can now plan for my own life and happiness. Start enjoying life again without worrying about having to personally go without for the greater good of my children.
The image on the left is what I looked like when I started paying support and the one on the right, well pretty much what I look like now.
Why am I telling you? Well...I'm telling everyone!
I feel reborn; time to start working on my smile again!!!
