What would you do?
What would you do if your kids dad said he was going to kill himself because he has to pay child support? I mean come on! He stays here every weekend cause he lives about 90 miles away. He does his laundry here and he never even buys school clothes or supplies. He just takes him out to eat and helps him get fatter when he is supposed to be on a diet. He says if he kills himself we will get $250,000 for insurance and then we will be happy. How can I make him see that $250,000 will not replace him in his son's life? I am so upset and I would really like to hear some opinions on this.

OK the answer to your question is this. For one thing suicide is the one thing that insurance companies don't pay on. The other is that even remotely talking like that is a sure sign of someone needing serious help. You can't make anyone see the other of their ways only a professional will be able to help your ex. After all he may as well get sued to paying child support its just a fact of life. All I can say is thank God my kids are grown now and that is all behind me.

Are you sure there isn't other problems in his life? He may just be using the child support for an excuse.The two of you need to just sit down and really talk about this.He may be trying to let you know that if something does happen,the $250,000is there for your son.I will be praying for your family.Maybe you could suggest that yall could talk to someone.Good luck.

I'm pretty sure he is lying... if he has told you such a thing!
He wouldn't do that... I know he might move out of the state, country, change his name... but suicide? ...now, he is just being funny in a cruel way....
The dude should sit and analyze if money is worth his life... if money is worth the pain your son is going to feel...
...ask him this : "Does insurance cover up your son's inner pain, knowing that he'll never again see his father?" .....
Let him know he should grow up and become responsible... that it is NEVER too late!! .....
He is thinking nonsense...!!! Try to reason with him.. as hard as I believe it is!
Good luck.

He is using the art of manipulation. You have to learn how to not let him control you or use the circumstances to his advantage.
