Single Mom. Single Paycheck.

This post is purely a venting session of my own. I am on the cusp of big change, the transition time of switching jobs. It has been a very difficult decision since doing so meant I had to give up my medical insurance. The decision to make the change was based on my immediate financial need. Even with this change I'm afraid it still will not be enough of an income increase to sufficiently support myself and my kids. It is extremely frustrating since I work very hard at making every possible effort to do so. Little over a year ago I took a course to get my CNA certification in the hopes that it would help to increase my income. This has so far not proven true. I am at the end of my rope financially and am out of ideas on  what to do now. I have tried selling my jewelry and photography on etsy but have not had much success. Ok, no success. Ughh! What's a single Mom to do? I'de love to take a few courses to further my education and increase my chances for a higher pay rate. Unfortunately, money is an issue.  Sooo...... Who out there can relate? What are you doing or what have you done to improve your situation?

I'm Lost

"How do I make her love me again? We were together 8 yrs. She's started seeing someone else and ignores me. I can't move on.  My Dad is sick and may be dying and my Son might spend the rest of is life in jail. I'm lost. Help me."

I'm sorry you are going through all that.  Unfortunately, you can't make someone love you. If she's started to see someone else then you need to respect her decision and give her space. Trying to keep in constant contactwith her is only going to push her further away. The best thing for you to do is focus on you, your Dad, and your Son. Sometimes relationships end for no reason but if  she gave you a reason for ending it, you should  try to understand it and learn from it. You need to first love yourself, you are all you need. Everyone else is a blessing and a bonus. Don't take that for granted. Look inside you, fix what needs fixing and find the true inner you. Then you well be able to move on. If it was meant to be, it will be. I hope all works out for you and you find what you need

How To Ask A Question

Well, it usually starts with opening your mouth. Or in this case moving your fingers over a keyboard. Hahaha...... Seriously.... until I figure out an easier way.......

Boxed In

"I was told that in order for me to move onward in life I have to get out of the box relatively speaking i'm tired of the old ways and money is tight,what am I to do?" signed -boxed in-

 

 It is difficult to tell anyone how to move onward with their life. We all have our own issues within ourselves.  I think it's

 important to first figure out what is holding you back. Once you figure that out you will be able to put things in motion to make the changes you need to make. I have to say, money is tight with me as well, so I understand the difficulty to can cause. The key is to push forward in any way that you can. Above all else, I've found one of the most important things you need to do is believe in yourself. You are capable of far more than you give yourself credit for.
