I've seen too damn many cases like this one.
Male or female, sometimes both discard the child as an inconvenience.
Grandparent, aunt, uncle, or godparent takes the child in, secures custody, pays for the kid's upbringing in money and sweat, and kid comes into a little money.
When I say little, one kid inherited $2,500 from his mom's insurance policy.
Love offerings at her funeral raked in another $1,000.
No good male reappears because someone told him the kid had hit it big.
Big nasty fight ensues, just like yours OP.
Within three days the money was blown on dope, and male got robbed and beaten up for the remaining $200.
Grandmother takes the child in, because the deadbeat was off to find the dragon.
Anyway, grandmother never heard from the deadbeat again.
Kid grew up, went away to the Army, got his degree, and is a high school teacher, married with two kids of his own.
My sister did what you're doing, OP for her ungrateful, greedy, addict daughter.
I hope things work out for you, and be prepared for the kid to be dropped off after they burn through his little puddle of money.
