Is there a such thing as workin' yourself n2 a hole dat is somewhat deep, but not dat damn deep....I work at Kohl's, nd I work 1-3 days a week nd i start school n da fall....all i have 2 pay is my car payment nd my rent nd used 2 have a house phone, but i got cut off b/c things are lookin' funny now....(money).....i'm barely makin' now livin' check 2 check, i barely ever have enough 2 pay my rent nd get gas 4 work...if it weren't 4 my grandma, my mom, nd my kids' father's mother...i kno...but, if it weren't for them i wouldn't have made it this far...but, it really jus seems like when things get better they also get worst n some ways...i mean they daddy is one who feels dat if i'm not wit him, he don't want nothin' 2 wit our girls....now am i also wrong 4 dat? B/c i grew up without my daddy in most of my life...he didn't come around 'til i got pregnant wit my 1st daughter....so i don't want my kids 2 have a life like i did....but at da same time its 4 their own good b/c my 4 yr old just started sayin' dat she didn't like her daddy b/c he hurts me nd etc., etc......wat should i do????

Thanx nd i did go nd sign up 4 it, i really do appreciate the advice nd i think they said that'll b startin' n the next week or so! But, the biggest step i've made so far is lettin' there father go, because i was n a 7yr long relationship w/ him nd it just kills me 2 kno that i'm gonna have 2 start all ova again by myself this time again! So, since that's been done i guess it feel nd seem a bit easier nd better wit less stress nd da thought of goin back 2 school scares the bejesus outta me, but then i think of my girls nd it makes wanna do it even more...so imma keep workin' on it all nd thanx again nd God Bless You as well....you have a wonderful heart!

Couple things, good job on being a great mom and raising these 2 kids the best you can and for making the decision to go back to school. Are you getting child support? If not, you need to get this set up through the state, they will handle the garnishments and it's less stress on you. I had it set up when I found out I was pregnant and that way I don't have to call my son's dad for anything.

The decision to stay with the dad is one you have to make based on if you can spend the rest of your life with him not because you feel guilty. He can still be a part of their life but if he chooses not to then that's his decision but your kids won't be mad at you later on for keeping him away.

Check on programs through the govt (ie housing, food stamps)... I think these programs are great for people who are using them short term like in your situation where you are going back to school and will be able to be back on your feet again.



God bless, I hope this finds you well!
