My father refuses to pay for my college education...?

Throughout elementary - highschool I dealt with many learning dissabilities & an ongoing depression that made school hard for me so I considered giving up. My father promised me all throughout middle & highschool that he would pay for my college once I got there. After my parents got divorced, my father got re-married. My depression came back again. My father's attitude towards me changed & he became more and more spiteful. Him and his wife bought a million dollar house together mean while my mother filed for bankruptcy and is struggling to pay for my school.

My father's wife told me to get a job & go on student loan & convinced my father to no longer pay child support, so the payments stopped. Now I do have a job, but I only work about 4 hours per week because I just cannot focus on school and a job at the same time. what hurts me most is the fact that my father called me yesterday to tell me that he just cam back from a week vacay to to Bahamas... so in other words, while me and my mother are struggling to pay for my school, he's chill axing on a resort.
Yeah I think I originally had a question, but now it's lost somewhere in my rant.
Sorry guys.
Actually, in canada they're supposed to pay right up until you finish college
Thanks Mike, I have received a school grant but & it was enough to pay for my books...
I had to cut my work hours because I'm considered intellectually disabled & can't handle both..
 
Well, first things first, if you are still under 18, and your father is not paying child support, your mom can sue your dad for back payment.

I went to school full time and worked full time. It was hard, but I pulled it off. It looks like you might want to try and find a better job in the mean time. Keep your grades up and you may qualify for financial aid from the school.

I am sorry that your dad is no longer paying for your school. I am sure you are looking for some way that this might all make sense, but it really doesnt. It looks like your dad and his new wife have screwed priorities.

Hang in there. the economy is slowly getting better.More jobs are going to be opening up soon.
