I'm sick of stress

[CASIEH]

I'm so sick of being stressed! My poor kids are always sad because their dad is a peice of sh**. We are so behind on our rent and our landlord is done being patient with us. we send payments every week

, but we just can't get caught up. I'm so scared we are going to be homeless, on top of everything else we have been dealing with.

I've asked welfar for help but it was denied because my husband has a job, but yet they wont help if you don't have a job. So what do they really want from people? Its not like we dont try to help ourselves because we do. My husband pays 500 a month for child support for 1 kid and he only makes 12.75 hr. tell me how they expect us to live? I dont get child support for my 3, or we would be doing just fine. i'm supposed to get 1,100 a month. yea right! i have been looking for a job for over 3 months now and cant find anything without haveing ti get a babysitter but we cant afford a babysitter, thats where all my money would go. oh welfare will help you with childcare but only if you have had a job for at least 4weeks.

we have 1 vehicle and its a truck, so family outings arent possiable. I'm willing to walk to work thats no biggie. Is there anythhing we could do to get a jump start? My kids have went without for sooo long and they dont deserve this, I would just break if we had to go to a homeless shelter. I pray and keep faith in God with and for everything, but I may not be perfect enough in his eyes for his help. I'm so tired of crying to the point of getting sick to my stomache, my blood pressure has been to high and my doctor hasn't called me back to let me know the results of my blood work. I feel so bad for my kids most of all and just dont know what more to do.

I am so sad for your family. It must be very hard. Just stay let go. Let yourself cry it out. Perhaps it will feel better than trying to hold it in. The hardest part is watching your children be without stuff. It was for me. I think the system is set up to help those that do not deserve and just use it but to leave off helping those that are actually trying to get themselves on their feet. Honey I know sympathy won't help you but you have mine. **hugs and prayers for you and your family**

P.S. You might try checking at your local library. They have lots of neat FREE things for children to do etc...
