I think ............when Shank used to be able to hand me $100......and that was a stretch for him, it was his way of feeling good about himself. I really believe it was more for him than for me. Its like I said. Once they do something they ought to be doing in the first place they can sit back and say "here.....look what I HAVE done for you". At that point, I stopped taking money from him. You deserve what he gives you. He owes you for his child. It's his responsibility to support that child. Try to remember that and don't let any mushy feelings get in the mix.
