An Update

[Jetta]

In case people out there may be wondering where I've been lately....

 

I've applied for housing assistance. Something I never thought I'd do in my life, but I guess it's necessary at this time. Maybe I'll luck out and won't end up needing it. I have a job interview this Saturday. I've also started to eat healthier and overall am happier and feeling more peaceful, which really helps me focus on what I need to do. I'm still in therapy, and am applying for financial aid so I can return to college in the Spring (nights/weekends). I plan to meet with a career counselor once I get my car back from the body shop to make sure I have a clear direction.

 

My son is officially moving to his dad's in about a week. School starts on the 22nd. That is still hard for me. I've basically been grieving. Even though I know this is going to be good for him, it's still the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

 

So I'm making progress, not as quickly as I had hoped to but things seem to be coming together. Prayers and positive thoughts are appreciated. I can use all the help I can get.

Hey Jetta!

 

Sounds like you are really working on a positive future, girl. Don't be ashamed for needing the assistance. When I was very little, my mom got sick. My sister was just a tiny baby, and dad had his own business to run. We have had assistance for a while, it's normal under circumstances!

 

How is your daughter and her speech? Is she improving?

Just wanted to say - good for you for taking control and getting yourself to where you need to be. Your future will only become better with all the steps you are taking. Good luck to you!

Ilse,

I am still working on it. If she needs speech therapy it's not the worst thing in the world, but I am hoping to avoid it. Maybe if she gets into daycare it'll help.
