Pssshhh..I can't even come up with 5 measly dollars foe my Daughter to have a shirt for field day she sooo wants to participate in. Never mind the school fair a 10 minute walk away which would be nice since we NEVER GET TO GO ANYWHERE...EVER!!

Hearted and agreed!

I hear ya, I'm thinking of you and the rest of us in situations such as these or worse. I wish you all the best of luck and pray it gets better for us.

Soooooo hearted!!

It costs the same for me (if said car isn't broken down or a flat tire) and walking to stores and/or jobs is not so much of an option.

Let's not forget about kotex and tampons, those are especially expensive if you get 2-2 1/2 periods a month like me. Love your post, btw, very insightful and well written and even though I only have G.E.D. I can relate.

If he neglected my puppies and stole my things, I'd stab him, too!!

We were on our own when I got pregnant with my first two I never thought I'd end up back here, things had gotten way out of control. Maybe I would still have my own place if I didn't have to quit my job due to my child's condition and spend all that money on health insurance, medicine and medical supplies. I have had…

We were on our own for 5 years and then my Daughter got diagnosed with her condition and I had to quit my job to stay home and care for her and little by little it started to crumble. They upped our rent from $560 a month for a one bedroom to $890. My Husband's job wasn't paying him the commission they owed him,…

This made me squee my pants!!!

I can totally sympathize with this!!

Thank you for this, sincerely...well put!!

Well, I for one would KILL to have any other option besides having to move back in with my over-bearing, critical and emotionally crippling Mother. I have two kids, one with a condition and their Father with a baby on the way which I have no idea where we will put it.

It looks like a bong or an accessory to the royal opium den.

I see what you did there!

Miss Portman is like, sooo stoned here.

hehe. "High horse"..

I don't think this would apply to me with half of a functioning thyroid, no doctor to give me meds and 2 periods a month. Thank God I'm pregnant so that just evens it aaalll out, nope, no mood swings whatsoever here and I'm horny ALL the time!!!

Alright!! See ya there.
