Trying Hard to Stay Sane
Well, maybe it is too late for my sanity. Just when I think it can’t get much worse, it does. I’ve been desperately trying to find a place for me and my 4 kids to live. So far, no luck. The place I’m staying right now is too high in rent and utilities. I might be able to pull it off for one more month, but I’ll sink my boat if I stay any longer than that. I have no savings, and there are no rentals in this town available. My folks thought maybe I could get gov help to buy a home since I’m a low income w/ children now. Nope. Not until the divorce is done, and maybe not then neither. No bond money available to help with closing costs. I guess that route has been shut down too. I’m not sure what the answers are anymore, or where to find them. I’m feeling lost and desperate. My husband couldn’t pick a worse time to leave us.

I am so sorry to hear about your troubles. Don’t spit on me for saying this, but that which does not kill you will make you stronger. You KNOW you need to get through this hard moment if only for your children, and when you come out on the other side you will no doubt be a stronger woman for it. And in the meantime you have all of our support here at buddyslim!
United Way? Churches? Social programs? There should be something for a mom with 4 kids who doesn’t have any income even if her husband does. He is not there but the bills are and they have to be paid.
Beebee, so sorry you have to go through this.
I’m really feeling bad here for your situation. In Michigan they do have low income housing for moms with children. Especially if the husband has walked out, maybe you can check into that?
Just know you are in my heart and in my prayers ok?? Sending you an extra big hug.
Yes, find a church to maybe help you. Is moving back to your folks an option until you can get things settled? I’m so sorry this is happening to you girl. If you don’t own your home now then I think you can get assistance with rent. You just have to make alot of calls. They are usually called Section 8 assistance I think. You don’t have to live in low income housing either. Sometimes you can live in a place you pick and they help you pay the majority of the rent. You can also get assistance in getting the divorce too. With 4 kids and no income you have to be able to get assistance somewhere. When I was 20 something the state helped with my divorce because I didn’t make alot of money and had one child. So make calls, ask questions. Good luck girl. I hate that this is happening to you or to anyone with children. So sorry…
I’m sorry to hear about your ordeal. I was homeless for a while in my early twenties because I made bad decisions that still effects me to this day. Somehow, someway, God provided for me and I made it.
Everyone gave great advice. Wonderwoman has great ideas. Please don’t give up. You will get through this. There are resources available - friends, relatives, public assistance, someone will help you get through this period.
Take care.
I must have missed a blog or something BeeBee. So sorry to hear about all this.
As others have said. Make tons of phone calls. There is help out there for women who have been abandoned, especially women with 4 children to take care of.
Got you at the top of my prayer list lady.
Big HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGS,
Shan

I’m so sorry my dear. Life is tough right now i can see that. Please stay strong and think positive. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
As everyone else has said….our prayers are with you. Hang in there.
BeeBee, where have I been? I had NO IDEA what you were going through. Especially at this time with your newborn. I am so sorry. I wish I could be there, you could move in with us. I am sure the kids would have a blast. =0) I will keep you in our prayers. I hope you can find something or an opportunity will present itself. Stay strong for your family. You are there rock. Please keep in touch.
