Ex Vanished for 12 Years, Now Demands I Pay HIM Child Support! 😡

Sometimes life throws you curveballs that make absolutely no sense. After twelve long years of raising my two kids solo in our cramped Denver apartment, working double shifts and surviving on ramen noodles, my ex has the audacity to resurface. This man who ghosted us when our youngest was barely walking is now demanding child support from ME! 😤 He's got some fancy lawyer claiming I owe him because he "wants to be involved now." Meanwhile, I'm still paying off the credit cards I maxed out buying school supplies and keeping the lights on. The system that was supposed to protect us feels like it's working against me instead. I keep wondering how someone can just disappear from their children's lives and then waltz back in expecting payouts. Have you ever dealt with something this backwards? I could really use some advice from anyone who's been through similar madness. Sometimes it feels like I'm losing my mind! 💔 #SingleParentStruggles #DeadBeatParents #ChildSupportDrama #FamilyRelationships
