Today my ex husband called me saying I’m a vile human and am an AH.

This situation is quite complicated. I have a three-year-old son with my ex-husband, but he hasn’t been involved in our lives since October 2021.

As a single mom who is also attending school, I took him to court, and he now pays child support as ordered by the court.

Recently, my ex-husband’s girlfriend reached out to me on Facebook. She asked me to stop making my ex-husband pay child support because they just had a new baby and are struggling to afford formula. In response, I empathized with their situation but explained that the child support is a legal obligation my ex-husband willingly agreed to when he brought our child into this world. Ultimately, their financial difficulties are “a you problem”

I understand that my response may have come across as harsh, and I feel a sense of guilt for expressing it that way. However, it’s important to acknowledge that my ex-husband made the decision to have another child, and it is not my responsibility to intervene in his relationship or financial matters. Each individual is accountable for their own choices and the consequences that come with them.m

TDR: I told my ex husbands gf that it’s her problem they can’t afford to feed they’re own kid. My ex husband says I’m an AH for making him pay child support.

So, AITA?
