You know everyone keeps telling me Happy Thanksgiving, But I feel I haven't a whole lot to be thankful for. My Dad is gone. My brother is in another state, I talked to him today, first time in over six months. He isn't doing to well. He and his girlfriend are having troubles. He's talking about coming home without her or his son. My rent isn't paid , my bills are behind. My boyfriend works but we are struggling really, really bad. My couisin is battling colon cancer and is going to die. My daughters birthday is Saturday and I have no money to have a party or anything for that matter. I had to go sign her up for "Toys For Tots" today so she can have some Christmas gifts. I have been crying all day and i'm extremely scared that we are going to have no where to live. Why can't I be a better mother and provide better for my child? Why does life have to take you down and never let you back up? I just don't understand, why why why? Why can't I see any hope or light at the end of the tunnel? Cause life's a dirty bitch and i'm losing this fight .

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

Don't beat yourself up sweetie,we all have times like these. I have had my gas shut off,and did'nt know if I could even put food on the table.I felt like you do,and thought I would never make it out of the hole I was in But I did,and you will to,have faith,and remember we can only do the best we can,and the rest is up to God.(((HUGS)))
I feel beat up too - I wake up each morning feeling like I have the flu - but it's not - it's grief, it's stress, it's the unrelenting reality of what my life has become and me feeling like I can't pick myself up and make it better. It's ok for you to ask for assistance right now - I've done the same thing - I had to, I have no one to help me with my son. Just remember - we love you - we want to see you succeed - and we will - we will fight this struggle and come out of it eventually. God bless you.
Any help that is available to you now, take it. As tax payers we all pay for that help over the years, it's supposed to be there when you need it. Praying for you and your family. Rainbowmama
As to the finances, I just erased one of my characteristic longwinded answers. I don't have a child. Mom was like my child. But I can only imagine your upset. I'm facing questions regarding expenses, as well, not knowing what the job market is - and waiting till the new year (in the interest of healing) to start looking.
My heart goes out to you - and wish I could do more. Hang on - prayers for you that things will change / and something good comes your way before holidays are here full force.
