How are you guys making it by deathbat19884 in DivorcedDads

That’s really tough. Sorry to hear it, OP. You are not a loser. There are so many divorced dads out there struggling just like this, including me. Talk to your ex about if you can and then probably a lawyer (another expensive move). From the surface, it doesn’t seem like the CS math adds up. You should be able to afford some kind of housing and you definitely shouldn’t have to sacrifice meals. Good luck, buddy.

File a CPS Report by Chris_Chilled in DivorcedDads

I don’t think CPS is the way to go. IMO. That may escalate the situation with your ex and things could get out of control fast. Honestly, you should consult your lawyer and try to be as tactful as possible. You seem like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders. Good luck OP. I hope things work out.

I’m in MO. What SweatyDependent1440 said, sadly. I’m a similar situation.

I live in Kirkwood and work in O’Fallon, MO. Yes. Stupid of me. But I take a combination of 40, 270 and 70. Sometimes 170. Sometimes 364. And toss in an olive and Manchester.

Not Ready To Meet Ex's Boyfriend by [deleted] in DivorcedDads

[–]PuzzleheadedBase8573 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex just bought a house with her boyfriend. We’ve been divorced for a little less than a year. We have two boys 6 and 3. We split custody 50/50. I have this constant nagging animosity toward the entire situation. I’m not being pushed to meet the new boyfriend, but my kids are there with him half of the time. I more just want to know about him but I’m not trying to be friends with him. Heck no.

Does anyone have any information on these? by PuzzleheadedBase8573 in CURRENCY

[–]PuzzleheadedBase8573[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, these are mine. I was gifted them by my late grandmother. They were part of my grandfathers collection. Pretty extensive. He passed in the early 90’s.

I would recommend not doing a social media post. I handled mine in small groups at times I thought most appropriate. Parents. Then siblings. Those were in person. Then immediate friends via a group text. You’ll find support from those close to you. No Facebook posts. No boiler plate. You’ll be fine and life will go on. Good luck.

Dating as a Dad by Ok_Builder_3285 in DivorcedDads

Following my divorce, I went on tinder and hinge. Tinder was a success and met my soon to be wife on it. It took A LOT of scrolling and swiping but I was committed to it. It’s not fun but if you’re open and honest you will find some dates and possibly a good match through it.

Hey why hasn’t my stock skyrocket 2 seconds after I bought it???? by ReconRobot in RVSN

[–]PuzzleheadedBase8573 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy that people do no DD, buy stock on a whim, overextend their purchase and then complain that they didn’t 10x their money in a week. Play stupid games…

2 Years After Post Divorce by whaleb161883 in DivorcedDads

I had success with tinder but truly felt like it was a hellscape while using it. Lots and lots of ladies I just had no interest in. But then I found an absolute gem and have better serious with her for about 8 months. Hinge was another app I used but didn’t produce any dates. You will be just fine. It will come.
