Single Mom Pep Talk
I finally talked away from my ex. We had a very toxic relationship and I knew that leaving was for the best for myself and kids as 23kl. There's a lot to the story but want to keep it short. I now stay with my sister who barely has room for us because I have a ton of kids and while I'm looking for a place I'm also freaking out about trying to manage rent on my own. Even the breakfast places are too much. I've done so much research and calling around for resources and get no where. I have no degree and mainly office type experience (including tax prep). I have thought about searching for a new job however of course being a mom means random calls to pickup io kids and being out of work. Right now I have a boss that doesn't mind and understands so would hate to let that go. Advice/positive words?
I feel your fear mama. Give yourself some grace. You are doing it great. You are blessed with a sister who receive you and your kids so try to see the bright side. Try to save from 3 to 6 months rent in a savings. And make your calculations regarding if your paycheck covers rent, daycare and food. Also ask for child support from BD. He has his responsibilities and everything doesn't have to fall on your shoulders. Put a routine in place for your kids so they are not disturbed a lot about the recent changes. You got this. Love and hugs mama.
