Question by sarahR: Mom of 3 recovering from problems at 35 and feel like how do i start my life?feel stuck no supportsystem.?
Im a recovering opiate addict on methadone now 5yrs and I have 3 kids. Been with their dad 16 yrs but he is not doing well mentally ill (bipolar) a stab victim surivior as a teen 14times, physical health issues. On ssi cant get support from him so I feel codependant to stay with him for help. No family, parents basically disowned me and friends are non-existant currently. Feel depressed and lost. My kids are all i have truthfully and he knows this also. He might have liver disease w/Hep C for sure and after his father past 2 yrs. he went back to drinkin 3 (22oz) cans of beer a day and he used to be a violent drinker. Now he is 40 so he basically is just rude and argues alot. I am not happy but I feel trapped. I dont have a drivers license due to tons of unpaid tickets (which im gonna pay off soon) but no car and have kids all with health issues. No diploma or GED either. I feel screwed. I dont know where to start really. I get state monies and ssi for children and food stamps but do not want to keep living like this. Im a fairly smart girl but all the drama and trauma i have been through has done something to me as far as learning (feel as im adhd now) sick of being unhappy and know im worthy of love and living well and love my children and want to be a great example for them. No negitive words just good advice i would love if someone would share with me. I appreciate tips and guidance of whatever i can get. I know myself and children come first and now need a plan so thanks. Feeling lost but want to be found.    Read more...
