27 answers  Advice on How to Ask Baby's Daddy for Financial Help
Okay, so this seems like a very cowardly and unintelligent
request, but I need a bit of advice on how to ask my baby's
father for child support. I have not filed for support yet, but
recently received notice from my son's medical insurance company
that if I do not do so, we will lose all our benefits. As a mom
who is only working part-time, I am finding this situation
difficult. My ex and I used to argue a lot about money and he
gets really, really stressed and upset when we have to discuss
this. He is under other financial strains from his family and
debts he has acquired. I find it very difficult to approach this
subject with him, and would like to find a fair and diplomatic
way to talk about it with him. I feel like such a coward to not
talk to him about it, but in the past, he has expressed great
anger and depression regarding money and our situation, and I do
not like to fuel the fire, if you know what I mean. I would
welcome any suggestio
