I HAVE BEEN ABSENT?! WHERE HAVE I BEEN!! Life has been chaos. As a single mom I am constantly struggling with babysitting and working full time. I have been trying to settle in and adjust after making the decision to leave my place. I have been living on my own during the pandemic which has been great, but paying 2k rent not including financially taking care of my child on my own. I have tried the roommate thing a couple of times, but it didn't work out. The last straw was when I allowed my child's fathers youngest sister to stay with me for a little amount of rent and they couldn't pay it. Growing up in foster care I feel like I overcompensate and help out others and it has made it so hard for me to ask for help. This year I am learning that I am not invincible and it is okay to ask for help. So I am currently staying with a friend and figuring things out instead of trying to do everything on my own. I think all of us dream of being able to have enough for a down payment and have our own place and that is goals. Living in California can be so crazy, but I have faith that we will always figure it out as moms we are warriors.
