About The King's Daughter

The King's Daughter started this conversation
May 4, 2008

 I am a single mother of 3 children. I go to school full time and I sell Avon for income. I do okay with the Avon. But my ends aren't quite meeting anymore. My boyfriend tries to help me but he has his own bills to pay. He's already short on cash because of constantly helping me keep my head above water these past 6 months. Lately I feel like I have bad luck. I never believed in luck until recently. In a couple of weeks me and my children will officially not have a place of our own. My light bill is due in a couple of days and I'm praying that we somehow don't get cut off until we move out of here. I have a $350 phone and internet bill. I need both my phone and my internet for my business. I feel like I'm sinking fast and that I can't do anything about it. I'm afraid. I wish I could go to sleep and wake up in a new life. I do the best I can, but it's never good enough. I deserve to live good. My kids deserve the good life too. Why can't I have a good job and make money like everyone else. Why me?

Hi,

Please dont give up.  I have went through one of the worst years of my life...moved out of state, pregnant at the time with my 2nd child whose father never gave damn, and i ended up homeless , and jobless , and carless, and still havent found ajob. But through all this i now have a home, and a car. But now i been searching for a job since Jan. 2008 and still havent found a job. So everytime just when i am at the point of giving up something changes....maybe not always the way you want them to but its jsut enough to make a difference on my stress level.  And then my baby who is now 7 months old is always gettign sick. So im almost thankful that i dont have a job as i prob would keep losing them because my infant keeps gettting sick and i dont have family here.

So just hang in there and maybe things will change for the better. You are doing well to to have full time school and work. Im sure you dont get to see your cildren much but when school is all over you will be thankful you made it and will look back on yourself, and say..wow I cannot believe i made it through that much with 3 children....

 

Hang in there!
