Hi Brynna's Mom, < i hope i spelled that right. :)
I don't have much experience in giving people advice and i hardly ever take my own advice. BUT i can tell you that I have been through a lot of the same horrible stuff you're going through. You see, my dad has been separated from his wife(my stepmother) for over 8 years now and ever since their divorce, life has been a rollercoaster. My dad went through times when he couldn't find employment and we were always behind on the bills, we've been kicked out of the apartments that we've lived in at least 3 times, we have been a burden by living with my friend's family for a year, and it was just this past summer that we moved out of there. However, things have gotten worse and went downhill shortly after. My dad has entered into depression, he no longer is seeking employment or hapiness for that matter. He sits in the apartment that him and my brother live in, and he smokes and he waits. There is just no turning him around but I have to move on with life. We have been through so much as a family and I have learned that life IS a battle and it is a test of strength. Patience makes you a beautiful person and if you push onward and carry your strength with you, you will find a way to get out of the most impossible situations. There's a place for everyone in life and a wise person once told me that you have to discover the place that's right for you, just keep your eyes on the horizon.
i hope im not too wordy. i seriously feel for you though, even if i dont know you...

PLEASE READ ME!
I am a junior at a 4 year private college. I have been financially supported by my family until recently. I haven't done anything to deserve such negligence but my reality is that I am on my own right now. The problem is that i need to complete a federal student aid application for the next school year to be eligible for any financial aid. I am stuck in a rut because the only employment i have had was work study and it doesnt count on the federal tax return. I am already behind, but any form of financial help would be appreciated. I have been fully devoted to my academic career, but my family and I have become distant. I feel alone in this so I thought i would give the internet a try. Thanks for your patience.
I am 22 years old and work as an EMT. As most EMTs will tell you, it doesn't pay much at all. I am behind in my credit card payments and some other bills due to some medical problems I had a year ago....see full post
