You're a great writter...and I know what you're going through...my Dad has to pay child support too...and it sucks.

i almost cried when i read this. it's sad but beautifully true. i feel this way very often about my father.

I have no idea what it feels like to have divorced parents--you're poem is enlightening to me.

The amazing thing is, you made me feel sadness for your situation without feeling sorry for yourself.

Thank you for respecting yourself and writing poetry that maintains your dignity rather than elicits pity.

And I have to admire that last line--it hit me right in the pit of my stomach.
