When it rains... it drowns you like a sack full of kittens.

My financial backing for school just fell through. I can't believe this. I have less than a week to find another way of getting almost 6,000 dollars to make the last payment and get it to the school so they can process it. If they don't process it before the 31st, they're gonna smack me with a huge fine. Even with the fine, I have less than two weeks to get all the money together.
I can't get a loan because I have no credit cards. I'm royally screwed. I look at the post that I made this morning, and I wish I could be right there again. Everything was roses until a few hours later when my father, who promised to give me the money, decided that he will take his revenge on my mother through me by not giving me a dime. I've severed all ties to the man. He is no longer my father.
I really hate my life.

oh my god, that bastard. I'm so sorry sweetie! Can you explain this to the college at all? Maybe even get a court order out on him since he's not good with his child support? I definitely think that you should get him in a position where he HAS to pay and do this by yourself to show it's you, not your mother.

God! I hate seeing people being used as ways to get revenge! And it's so stupid! I can't believe he thinks he doing this to get at your mom! *hugs* I'm praying for you sweetie!

See the thing is that he doesn't have to pay child support anymore since I'm over 18. I don't get a dime of his money anymore, and technically, I don't have the right to ask legally (although morally I should). While I can't say that he owes me anything, he owes my mother over $20,000 in back child support from over the years (there was about six years where he didn't pay any at all and he owes other money for never helping with doctor bills or school bills). They're going through the lawyers. The courts have ordered him to pay what are called "arrears" meaning that my mother had to spent money that should have been there if he had actually pays this. It's like he has to pay all that he owes. The only problem is exactly how much he owes is to be determined by the lawyers.
My dad isn't going to give me the money because he wants my mom to settle for the money he's willing to give her, not what he owes. He thinks that mom will be willing to accept the teeny amount he's offered (which isn't even a third of what he should pay) because she'll want to send me to school, but I won't let her and she can't accept that.
I'm looking at some loans, but I don't think that the school will be too sympathetic.

Big virtual hug to you.
I know it´ll not comfort you but you almost told my life. When my parents divorced my father told me to pay anything as long as he could, my education, even holidays. What did he do? He paid nothing! Of course not, because he and my mother hated each other and this was his way to take revenge. My mother didn´t like to go to the court so she raised me on her own.

I hope all will come to a good end.
Holding my fingers crossed for you!

Thanks for your support. I know that I'm not the only person in a divorce situation like this, but it does comfort me to read your words. I've got a loan in processing, and I'm supposed to hear something from them today hopefully.
