I'm a single mom and it's really a lot harder than I thought. I get no financial support from the…

Oh wow chica, sorry to hear this! I was once in your boat so I know how this feels. Have you thought about putting them on child support or asking for state assistance? I hate to go the child support route, but if the fathers just refuses to not step up after you asked for help numerous of times. I would go that route. Maybe that will help get you on your feet because raising 2 children isn't easy. I know girl, I have 4 and my kids father decided to finally step up and help because he knew the last resort was for me to put him on papers and the amount he was making a month. My kids and I would definitely live comfortably. I really hope you can get some help soon and get on your feet because nothing feels better than to have your own.

Well I had to get help from the county and it's only $400 a month for both my babies. I chose to fill a form out that states I fear for my life and they will never go after him. I did this because he has never (almost 40 years old) had a legit job. I work too but my son's school is almost $700 a month and thank god my GG (grandmother) watches my baby girl and my son on his off days. I have a lot of health problems too. I just so bad want to get out. My Papa (grandfather) makes it clear he doesn't want me there. I tried finding a room for rent and that's impossible and I could probably afford a place but my babies dad messed up my credit not once but now twice and I owe thousands to make it right. Thanks for reaching out I really appreciate it

Wow! You have a lot on your plate. I guess TX is different. My ex was abusive, I had a restraining order against him and the state still helped me and allow me to put him on papers, which I didn't keep him on papers for long just because I didn't want him to not have a relationship with his boys. I did it to teach him a lesson. I am NOT the one to play with. Either you help me with these boys WE both made, leave us alone because I refuse to allow him to pick when he wants to see and deal with his children. I can't do that as a mother, why would I allow you.

That's wild Chica. Maybe you should look more into it. You can still have him on papers but also have it to where he can be around you but have supervision rights to the child(ren). I think you can get more help than you are receiving now. You just have to be on the state to pursue what you want and need.

Far as getting a place, I know apts accept "2nd chances". Maybe if you can find one of those apartment locators near you that can look for apts or homes for you "FREE", they just move your belongings or give you a Cash back for using them offer, they can definitely help. TRY IT! I know you can all the help you need, just have to ask for help. Sad mothers bust azz for our children and men helps when it's convenient. Totally not fair but we as women and mothers, are strong. We can get through anything. I believe in you. You can do this, don't let him or anyone keep you from getting to where you need to go. Stay strong.
