I have worked for walmart supercenter for 3 yrs. now my store has a new manager and he cut my hours. last month i worked 8 hrs. for the whole month and had to collect unemployment. right now the only company who is threating to send me to collections is scholastic for my daughters books. i'm trying really hard to keep things together. i never know if i'm gonna be working or not. and my pay is suppose to be for the food shopping so i find myself haveing to take money from the bills to buy food to feed my 1yr old daughter. i get so stressed it makes me sick to my stomache. i'm trying to keep going but, sometimes don't want to do anything.


well i was young and dumb and heres my story and i'm sticking to it. i was accepted to go to stone school of business in conn. well that didn't happen instead i use to do the opposite of everythig my mom said "don't be home a min after 9 or you will see what happens" i would sit on the porch till 9:05 just to see what would happen because at 18 remember i knew alot more then my mother did well she hated my boyfriend so i made him my husband at 18 and was divorced by 21 with 2 children that was the longest 3 years of my life of abuse hiding in battered women shelters. at 21 when i left him or rather rescued from him i met a long time friend of the family which made me realize i don't deserve this leave now and hurt for a while or stay and hurt for the rest of my life shortly after i moved in with him it was the only way to stop the stalking life threats mind you a order of protection in 1982 wasn't worth the paper it was written on he beat me in a public rest. and then bailed himself out with only $25 police told me he was also allowed to drive up and down the street i lived on because it was a public road.he also never paid child support and when i took him to court for that and almost lost my job for missing work they told me "i cant get blood from a stone" hes not working i even said not on the books but here are pictures hes working in this garage i felt i proved it (nope) so my children were 2yrs and4yrs old i still wanted to go back to school always did and still do i never had help with my children no support finacially or emotionally my mom never once babysat so i did feel alone my new so called man in my life was a functionable alcoholic and after work he spent 4-6 hrs everynight supporting the local taverns that was his job he thought once again i was (oh by the way) i never wanted my kids in childcare i wanted to have the first time of them taking their first steps,first words, so when they were 4 and 6 i got into food service,bartending and working 5pm tll 10 pm quik money fast money every night! hold that thought i have to put my granddaughter for nap

I am in a similar situation, I lost everything and I am losing everything for the sake of my daughters well being she is 1 year old I am a single mom and I have nothing and noone to help me out. I will pray for you and everyone else on this site that good fortune will come to all of us in our time of need.

I have recently talked to the right person at work who is trying to give me some hours. but, I don't know how long that will be for. I know things happen for a reason and god doesn't give us more that we can handle. He sometimes makes us wonder though does'nt he. I'm seriously thinking about taking some college courses on-line for bussiness. I have to apply for some financial assitance, grants, or loans. without any of that I'll never be able to go to school. My husband was talking to me about him getting a higher position at work w/ a $4 or $5 raise. We don't know for sure if he'll get it but, he is being considered w/ a few other people. The only thing is we have to wait till Jan. to find out about it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Something that no amount of money can buy you!! Next time you want to spend...enjoy her instead!! And if your husband isn't making a great deal of money then check with your Human Resources Department to see if you can get some kind of assitance to get you through this time. Headstart for childcare, TANF (temp emergency for needy families here, don't know about your state)and many other programs. Being young with a child qualifies you for a lot if you just search for it!! Good luck and keep smiling:)
