Hey, honey. I need to talk to you about something that's been stressing me out.
gpt
Of course, what's going on?
human
Well, I've fallen behind on my child support payments and I'm now being threatened with wage garnishment. I owe $2,000 and it's been really tough to make ends meet lately.
gpt
Oh no, that sounds really tough. Is there anything I can do to help?
human
Honestly, I'm not sure. I've been trying to pick up extra shifts at work, but it's still not enough. I feel like such a failure and I don't know how to get out of this mess.
gpt
Don't beat yourself up, honey. We'll figure this out together. Have you talked to a lawyer or anyone who can help you navigate this situation?
human
No, not yet. I've been too embarrassed to reach out for help.
gpt
You don't have to be embarrassed, love. We all go through tough times and it's important to ask for help when we need it. Let's look into getting some legal support and see what our options are.
human
Thank you, that means a lot to me. I just want to make things right for my child and get back on track with my payments.
gpt
I know you do, and we'll make that happen. We've been through tough times before and we always come out stronger on the other side. Remember when we talked about your concerns about me flirting with other people? We worked through that together and came out the other side stronger.
human
That's true, and I'm grateful for your support then and now. Let's do what we can to get through this and come out stronger together.
