OMG, that call was the scariest thing I ever did. Calling the in laws to tell them that we were kicked out of our house! I have never felt so ashamed, depressed, and like the world as I knew it was falling apart. I knew how bad things were but pretend to sweep it under the rug like nothing was wrong was by far the worst thing we could have done! If anything we should have asked for help sooner. But we didn't and I know it had to happen to get me here! But with all the weight on our backs if we had just reached out! We could have been much better off.

It would be easy to settle here, and although we're not happy we're comfortable and risking that for our freedom and growth is scary, especially with the fear of failing again. But staying would be a mistake. I would be showing my babies that settling is a good thing and there is no need to take risks and go for your goals!

So I'm growing from my past choices every day! In doing so I'm making sure something like that will NEVER happen to us again. And I'm so grateful for having to reach out because if I hadn't I wouldn't be the one now that others are reaching out too!
