The Rent Struggle

I’m not sure how you are going to pay rent for the month.

I had the luxury to be a stay at home Mom until I was 41. Never developed a career, have no real defined skill set. Hubby ran off with a stripper and left the kids and me with no child or spousal support. He’s 1000 miles away, while I slog in factories as a temp for about 14k a year. Kinda hard to fight in the legal system with my pay. The state couldn’t find him to make child support demands. Texas is big, and I gave them (my state) his home AND work address. Give your Momma lots of love. This stuff is brutal and soul-crushing. Landlord left a letter today. Trying to figure out how not to start the new year with an eviction. Being poor with my kids has been the worst 4 years of my life so far. I hate it for them.
