🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨The people that work in the food benefits offices have absolutely ZERO respect for those that need a little extra help. I have been waiting all day for my benefits to come in and now that it's almost 1:00pm here I decided to call and see what was going on. After being on hold for 14 minutes, I was finally connected and the woman tells me that I need to send in a bank statement. Now I've ALREADY done this. I sent it in last month with the rest of my paperwork. Well according to this woman I need to send in a more up to date one instead of the March statement I sent her. Well all I can get is the March statement because I don't have a way to get to Louisville until MONDAY. Not only did she tell me this but as I was trying to tell her I was not informed of this necessary paperwork, she continued to interrupt me as I was trying to clarify. I went off. She disconnected the call. I didn't get her name. But now I'm sitting here with NO money for this month, I have half a sample sized can of formula left and my supply is at an ALL TIME LOW. What am I supposed to do? People don't understand how difficult it is being a single mother unable to get a job because I have to stay home with my son (no childcare here in the country). I have absolutely ZERO friends. I stay at home ALL day with the only person to talk to being my son (which I love don't get me wrong but it gets lonely after while). My baby sister (14) comes home at 4 and doesn't talk to me. I'm trying my hardest to stay positive but I'm really stressed out because I don't know what I'm going to do. I hate asking my parents for money because they work really hard for what little they have and their $7 in the bank account won't cover a can of formula.

To all of the single mothers out there. I applaud those of you who can keep face and smile daily. This week has already been really difficult for me. Being a single mother isn't glamorous, it's sure as heck not easy, and when your child's father is a piece of shit that hasn't even bothered asking how his son is doing after two months, emotions take full effect. 😔😭😢😭
