i raised my kids alone, i dated and had one other marriage, short and one long term bf, 6 yrs. but they did not live with me. that was my decision. I have one child with special needs, it is not easy, but it can be done. You need one maybe two reall…
I agree with your decision. In fact, I am in a similar situation. My ex doesn't use hard drugs but he drinks alcohol like a fish! He will drink and drive and take the kids. He has NEVER handled any responsibility with the kids so I am asking the cou…

"Run along and stop wasting Mens' time with such childish questions." was that really called for?
So lets put the uncalled for comments where they belong!!!!
You are so right! I did the same thing, told them they could all go back to live with him and they also refused. But nonetheless it hurts the most from my oldest, who is also 11 because I grew up with him. I was 18 when I had him and I honestly thou…
Angela, it's hard with the kids I know. The first few months were incredibly hard. We finally got a rhythm of our own and things were going smoothly and then my landlord put us out because he needed his house back, his was foreclosed on. I had no mo…
Angel~ I am doing my best. I find that taking it one day at a time also helps. I think it will be LOTS better once we go to court and they MAKE him help. Right now he is refusing to help me at all. So that makes it even harder....I will do it though…
I won't give up. I am going to make it! It is so hard for me right now though. There are some days I feel like I just cannot do this. For example, yesterday went pretty well most of the day and then yesterday afternoon my oldest had had it staying h…
good

You are going to be okay. Really. I'm in a completely terrible spot, myself, at the moment, but I'm making it.....barely. We will survive. Yes, it is beyond tough right now and you are worried about your kids. They are very resilient. They will be h…
By the way, I am living with my parents as well. At 44 yrs old I never, ever expected to be here. And I agree, there are days I feel like I am about 5 yrs old again. My way of parenting doesn't agree with theirs, yada yada. But right now, this is th…

Wanting to Quit
Ok. So left, 5 weeks ago now. There is still no prospective employment or place to live!! I hate this. I am starting to think I would have been better off staying in a horrible marriage than to be out on my own trying to make it!! Everyone says things will come together but quite honestly, I just don't see it happening.

My Apology
I just wanted to come on here and apologize for not keeping up with everyone. It has been quite hectic for me.....
I have left my mom's house (I was going crazy and so were the kids). We are now staying with a friend of mine from High School and her family. It is now 6 kids and 3 adults in a 2 bedroom but our kids are all close in age so it is working. I am looking for a job so that we can get our own place.
As for the stbx......I hate him more and more everyday. He just reminds me of why I ma… Continue

Doing Ok
I just wanted to update everyone. I am doing ok. I am starting to look for jobs and apartments. I sometimes feel like I am going crazy in this little apartment with so many of us...I can't get my own place soon enough!!
I was also wondering if any of you have experience with the grandmother favoring one grand child over another!! My mother does it with my oldest. It has caused some problems already. I have tried to talk to her about it but it doesn't get through, she still does it.

Not Sure I Can Do This!
Things just seem to be getting worse! The past couple of days have just been the worst!!!! I don't even know where to begin!!
The night I moved, my truck broke down and it is currently parked behind a gas station. A friend of mine (or so I thought) was supposed to help me get it this Saturday and fix it!! He cancelled on me last night saying he felt he shouldn't get involved. I am not sure exactly what he meant by that. So now I am at square one trying to get my truck.
On top of that, my stbx… Continue

- Your kids are beautiful Angela! They are worth any sacrifice you have to make. You will do it. I promise, just have faith in yourself and in them. I would love to be your friend.....I know what it's like to lose some that you thought you had. Right now, most of mine exist in places like this, online. I found the quote below a long time ago and it is still one of my favorites........
Love and hugs,
Susan

Don S. said… - ((((Angela)))) I've been reading all along and YOU'RE DOING IT!!! I'm so happy for you. Keep coming back and talking to the women, have you gotten any phone numbers so you can call someone if you can't get online? HEY GIRLS give Angela some sister's to call in a pinch! Your doing great! Those are happy looking kids you have they love you so much.
One of the hardest things I ever did was to ask for help, the next hardest was to believe that I could do what the help asked of me. As a man my biggest inspiration was Chris Gardener's story "The Persuit of Happiness" with Will Smith. I watched it on a flight back from SanJuan when I was on vacation with a woman who was using me, when I should have been worknig on getting my kids away from their mother. His story never made me be able to say to myself again "I can't" it just took the excuse right out of me.
Many hugs and love and support Angela!

I know you don't want to do that, but I would encourage you to give it some thought. At least it would give you thirty days of time to really consider your options and come up with a plan. You are loved!

- Hello again Angie, I wish I could tell you the best thing to do. Search your heart and your soul. Where would be the best, and most secure place for your children? Do you have the ability to contact a women's center to talk to a social worker? They can take a history, look at your options, and help you decide what is in the best interest of the children. They might also have some resources you don't know about. I know you are frustrated, and I want to validate your feelings. That frustration will build until you know in your heart that you are in the right place. Have faith. That is my best advice: Have faith. You will persevere. Sending you a big hug, Kim

- Angie, when you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. I know it is easier said than done. But you will find the strength and courage to overcome... and when you do it will make you the proudest mom in the world. You continue to be in my prayers.

Ron said… - First off i dont think you will loose your strength and faith. God never gives us too much that we cant handle. As wlel look at those wonderful kids i sure think they will inspire you to keep going. Now let me tell you a story. Back when my son was about one me and him lived in Salvation Army. I had no job no car and well things just looked so bad. yes i had family that was there but think about it i had like 7 brothers and 3 sisters so they could only help so much. So i worked my butt off and i went to every agency in town for help. yes this coming from a man who hated taking charity. But for my son i took it and i swallowed my pride. The lady in charge of my case was like she had never seen anyone come to her with so many referance from agencies i went to. I got on Hud..... Got a jon at a video store. I got a car..... I then months later worked my way up to be the store manger or movie gallery where i worked 3 yrs. I even was trainign to be a district manager. What this story is to mean is the fact is dont give up. Work your butt off. BELIEVE BELIEVE I know in my heart you will succeed and look back at this as a steping stone to alot of good things. Like i said ALWAYS BELIEVE
