Answer 1

£2.50 a week does not sound much.  If this is under a court order are there not ways to enforce this?

I would endorse another respondent&#039;s view, though, in that you should not let this have a detrimental effect on your life.  You need to release the hatred as this only holds you back from your own personal development.

Just accept that he is a selfish prat but pray that he might be shown the correct way to behave.

I know it&#039;s hard but you have to accept that he is who he is and not let him cast a cloud over your life.  You can rise above this.  You wouldn&#039;t be posting here if you did not have it in you to tackle this situation.

I wish you well.

Answer 2

£2.50 is not really enough. he should be paying you £2.50 per day.

and cant your mother apply for chil benefit or something and just ignore him because hes just selfish  

Answer 3

Get your mum to contact the CSA. They might be able to tell her how much he should be paying and if he isn&#039;t then maybe they could force him to pay.  

Answer 4

I&#039;m sorry about your situation - on the face of it you could be entitled to feel aggrieved. However, I would urge you to accept the situation with a sigh, and get on with your life. Jealousy and revenge are very destructive emotions and will do you no good in the end. You&#039;ve had to cope with a difficult situation and it has probably made you a stronger person - keep handling it with dignity, and don&#039;t let it destroy you. Good luck.
