My life as a single mother, financially has been the biggest struggle, I have been through a few jobs until I found the one that pays what I feel I am worth. I had to move from my hometown to escape the ex and moved to a different city with no job, I wasn’t proud I took whatever job came my way. I took a job in retail had never worked a day in retail before; I’ve work in administrative field since I was 16. I loved that job I worked my way up within months made some great friends and gained some experience. I ended up finding a job back in the administrative field again and have since been there for 5 years. I was financially stuck with all the bills from the divorce he walked away free and clear, 8 ½ years later I am in the process of buying a home, I have taken all my small bills and paid them off and now have three more payments before I’m debt free. Everything was just planning and giving up a lot. I have not bought myself a new pair of pants for years my mom will make me just to help out, but I focus on my bills and our future. I am so close to finishing school in 12 weeks I will have my AA. In 2 months I have another career opportunity I will be taking a chance on, and in about 5 months I will own my own home. I’ve started talking to a builder and will be having my first home built by myself with no help from her father. I am so proud and so happy to be in the position I am at I never thought I would get here. My daughter will be nine next month and is so wonderful, I’m so happy that I have been able to provide for her and she has not had to go without. To be quite honest I’m happy as a single mother, when I was married I was miserable and after our divorce he wrote her off. Sad thing is she’s happy about that and I try to make sure that she has a wonderful life and will continue to do so as long as I can, I will never struggle again, the best thing is my daughter has learned a wonderful lesson that she can do it, she will be independent, successful and know that whatever life throws her, she will survive.
Wonderful story and great inspiration to me and surely the other single mothers!
I am a single mom of two teenage girls. My 13 year old will be in 7th grade and my 18 year old will start college in the fall. I work full time as a pre k teacher. Our daily life is very busy. We each have different things going on. I have to manage everything for all three of us and pay the bills. It isn’t easy and some days I feel hopeless, but the best way I found to deal with it all is… ONE DAY AT A TIME! I take one day at a time and deal with one problem at a time, the best I can. I try not to forget the blessings I have. I take time to spend with my girls and enjoy it. I don’t let my finanical problems get in the way of loving my girls. The bill collectors can not take that from me. I try to keep a good outlook on life and be happy. Life is too short to be unhappy all the time. When my kids grow up I want them to remember the happy times we spent togather.
That’s what we like to hear! Very nice and Inspiring!
