Thanks for this beautifully written piece that expresses well the issues and feelings of those of us who have to go to pantries, even though we're not dirt poor enough for government aid. I am sure this helps others understand the circumstances.

Thanks so much for sharing this - the economic wages of divorce for women (mostly) is still devastating. Also, you've pointed to the problem with the income shares model for child support, making the results so real and deeply felt.

I unfortunately experienced something similar, with less support and it was heart wrenching.

It angers me when moms go through this, especially when the other parent makes much more money.

I’m glad you have people who love you and help when they can, it makes a difference.

I pray this season passes soon for you and your baby.

Blessings!
