Sorry about your dilemma. There's a lot of us women out there who know
that it's not fair what's happening with this system. A food pantry may help you, hopefully, I'm not too late with my message (year later).
I'm a mother of four year old triplets, two boys, one girl. My ex-
husband-to-be, is irresponsible, only cares about his mother and family
overseas, does not give a damn about the one he created, says they are not really his children and that I have two days to leave. I've already told the children what to expect and that we're going on a
seminar for housing, hopefully, they'll keep me at a shelter until I can find a job, get credit, and a mobile home. I'm 36, have no living relatives, no assets, am on public assistance. Was fired 2 weeks before my maternity leave was up after working for the company for 20 years, and lost everything, except the ex-husband with all the whining
and complaints. I am a survivor or sexual abuse, 9 my sister's husband was screwing around and I let the family know 20 years later. My father passed away 1 year ago from cancer, my mother is dead to me, unable to help, too old and senile. I am really all my kids have, and there's nothing that will stop me from bringing them up the right way, even though their father is an abuser, physically and emotionally. There's a pattern, I understand, and I am yet to tell my caseworker.
