I'm a mom and recently I left the father due to his bipolar disorder was making the children very very depressed. within 24 hrs my car went out so I lost my job. I moved into a motel room and walk the kids to school. 2 miles there 2 miles back. I have a crock pot and make beans and rice. the kids are so miseareble thank god for free lunches. I called churches to see if theyd help get my car fixed and they couldn't. I applied for food stamps but my interview isn't til next week. I feel like a failure and even had some friends say "then you shouldn't of left your man", if I could only get the car fixed. its so sad h ow hard low income people try to make it but its like we take a step back. I'm filing child support next week just so I can get insurance for this depression. what else can you make in a hotel crockpot with 3 to 4$ a day for 3 people? I have no car, no friends and the father took off who knows where. I feel so alone and afraid. I'm washing paper plates at this point.
