Okay life stuff...

Well for my son, there is no word yet on child support, his father isn't working much and I understand that but doesn't change the price of diapers. I still think on most levels he thinks we'll get back together, I'd like to just have a casual relationship with separate quarters.
If I could make $60000 a year then I could afford him and a life style that could support everyone.

I've also been sent a sort of summons for a hearing about the support amount. I just want the limits, I'm not looking to skin a skinny cat, I need help not to leave a man homeless. It did not say that it was mandatory, I've tried several times to call the case worker. Good luck, I'm going to need t go down there in person.

Last night had a snippy comment from my oldest niece. I'm not sure what it is about me that brings the rude out of her. Most of the time I ignore her and stay out of her life and let her be an adult. But then she'll say something so insulting or treat me with such disrespect that I wonder if I'm dealing with her issues or mine. It's so disheartening to love someone who dispises you and has no problem telling you that. It doesn't ever seem to matter what I say or do with that kid, she hates me. On so many levels I ignore it and her but I'm always kind and helpful to her but never in a way that is intruding on her life. I guess I just don't feel close to her or have that compulsion to get close because of her lack of compassion and basic rudeness.
I think that if I just met her that I wouldn't be friendly with her. She's just not someone who has compassion--at least not for me. She knew and understood immediately why I was not keen on having her in the delivery room. She said herself that she would be a negative influence. Isn't that sad? That her opinion of me is already so low that she couldn't rise above all the whatever and be there for me? I think that without question that I would be there for her if she were having a child no matter how I feel about her and her attitude.
I really don't know what to do about this.
I guess my issue with my sister is that she allows the mistreatment and brushes it off. It would be fine in one case or two but she's always treated the situation that way. It feels as if my sister as long as my niece loves her best that it doesn't really matter how she treats me. And of course even if my son should treat my sister with disrespect then she expects me to defend her immediately. But for some reason this mistreatment of me has been allowed to continue for years. I don't get it.
I don't understand my family....ever.
