My previous introductory blog entry was a little too wordy in length. I'll try to condense it. Basically, I'm a custodial SM to a teenage SS. He's only been with us for about a year as of this month. Before he lived with us, he lived with BM who received CS checks like clockwork for at least a decade. DH also paid for dental,vision, health, clothing, entertainment. Pretty much ANY of their needs were covered by DH. This financial information is relevant to this story because as soon as the situation was reversed, BM paid us nothing.
