Thank you so much for your response. This information I know will prove to be extremely helpful. It is nice to know that someone is listening . Thank you for the prayers as well I definately need them .

I don't exactly know what has brought me to this webpage , for all I know maybe it was spiritual guidance from up high but, still I am here and am in need of help. I am a single mother of 3 children and I have never allowed myself to depend on anyone but, unfortunately these days I don't have a wide array of choices . After my departure from a totally abusive relationship I have come to notice just how much we have lost . Furthermore just how  fortunate we are to still have eachother .I know that material things and money are not everything but as you know we do need some items to live .I am in that hard place where no one helps. Where you bring home 250.00 a week and you make too much for welfare but you make to little to survive. My son thank god gets some finacial help from ssi due to the fact that he is handicapped but still it isn't much . I never thought that this would be me . I had too many dreams for this ! I thought anyways ! I think I lost all hope when I had to drop out of college. I remember how liberating it was for me and how I felt proud that one day we would have a better life.Sometimes I wonder if that better life will ever come.I don't worry for myself I worry for my son who has far more to deal with in life then he deserves. I worry for my daughters . Will they follow the same paths I did ? It makes me cring to think of  how they saw me surrender to a open hand and humiliating words like I became nothing. If there is anyone who could help us nomatter whether it was 50 cent or useful advice and kinds words I would greatly appreciate it and if not thank you for taking time to read this. It brings peace to know someone is listening somewhere out there .

   Thanks
