    I think that's a bit unfair - not ALL the replies said that !

    That comment was extremely unfair, you got some very good advice in 34 replies to your earlier thread, its just that it was advice that you didnt expect, want to listen to or take.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • frugallass: ok not all of the advice was to give up!! lol it just felt like that, i never thought anyone would say 'just give up, why would you drag up the past!' i thought everyone would be helpful and offer advice and understand my situation!! i just believe mckneff has been very unhelpful.

    Welcome to the world of the internet, no matter what topic/discussion you post you will never ever get every single person to agree with your view point.

    but not all advice can be deemed helpful, that's why it is called advice...only you know the right answer to your situation - all you can do is take on board what other people have told you and listen to their experiences.
  • Back to JemmaLouise....good luck, I hope your Mum will get what is due from the non-paying dad! I think after all these years it may take a little time for the CSA to sort the payment out, but good luck! Don't forget to let your Mum know how special she is, I'm sure you do.
  • Thank you, yes me and my mum are very close luckily.
