She spent the child support money on clothes for our daughter & things she needed. She wasn't treating her poorly. After she turned 11, I started to hear things that were troubling. I started to build a case. I was able to get her out of that environment a couple months before everything really fell apart. It was tough to not be vindictive about the whole situation & try to keep the focus on what was best for my daughter.
She just turned 21, now lives close to me & we visit often. I don't approve of some of the decisions she makes, but I keep my opinions to myself unless asked. At least she had those 6 years in our stable home & knows right from wrong. She now sees her mom through adult eyes & keeps her distance.
