About Mother of 4!

Mother of 4! started this conversation

I am a mother of 4 wonderful children. I have a full time job and yet I still can not afford to pay but half of our bills since their father was laid off from his job last Oct. I think I really just came here to get some of this out since I haven't been able to openly talk about it with our families. I try very hard to find extra ways to make money but they are few and far between right now. I am facing forclosure, my car being repossed, and to top it all off seperation from the children's father. People say that money is the route to all evil and I can say this is sort of true. Since he lost his job we have done nothing but argue about not being able to pay all of the bills. We have downsized as much as we could but we still are not making it and it is putting a strain on us and in turn it is effecting the children because they sense that there are problems in the household. I love my husband very much but neither of us can continue taking out the stress of our finances on each other and be able to maintain a marriage. I just wish I could find help financially or just someone to help us get on the right tract to saving our home and our marriage! Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I wish I could help you with more than mere words but I am in a position very much like yours. There are wonderful people here with ideas and links to resources that you may be able to tap and find some relief.

What I can offer is a kind word or two. My wife and I have had some serious problems since our finances went south. The stress or medical bills on top of normal bills was bad enough when we were doing well. When things started to fall apart you can imagine how much worse they became.We have been on the edge of seperation for a long time. 

Thing is, as bad as things get you must know that there are people out there who care.Even coming to a place like this, if only to make sure you are not alone, can help. And you are not alone. You are part of a circle of true humans that are learning that they can survive darkness, though that lesson is sometimes hard to see through the fear and frustration.

You will be in my thoughts and my prayers. If means come my way I will assist you as I can.
