Things were looking up and I was really trying to remain humble and appreciative of the support my family has given me.
For the past three weeks is been getting increasingly difficult to handle the barrage of attacks thrown at me and my children. You see my mother?s husband left her about two years ago. I knew my help was needed so I pitched in with no question. This help includes household chores?because I know that three kids is a lot to look after, as well as financially. Now it seems that no matter what I do it is never enough and on top of it she is taking out her aggression/ disappointment/fear on the rest of us. When I?m at work she starts in on my eldest, who by the way watches my little ones for me during my three shifts, so as to take the pressure off my mother. When I come home she starts in on me first with I need more money for my bills, with no regard to my having debts to pay plus raising three kids. Then, she starts in with the crazy making behavior---getting on her phone and discusses me disparagingly to family members and to her friends---WITH-IN HEARING RANGE. It is very clear that I am very much a disappointment to my mother and despite my attempts to recover from my bad marriage and lowered economic state (having to start all over again). It has taken me three hard years just to get to the point I am now. And mind you I still have some ways to go.
She is a very unhappy person and is not satisfied with peace. I try to avoid confrontations and conflicts but to no avail. I don?t know what to do. I make enough to provide room/board/gas where I am. Mind you helping her out, having been left with all her household bills: the mortgage/ gas/electric/ phone/cable/ food. I pay 900/month plus all the food/misc household stuff. There is no wiggle room for me and it is not enough for her??.with three kids it is truly hard!!! I haven?t been able to take my kids out for an ice cream cone, in my attempts to feed and clothe them?..The only reason I?ve stayed in this area this long is for my children?s safety and the school system. This is my sacrifice for the ones I love?I am not even thinking of myself.
On top of this pressure?my oldest?a really great kid, gives me no problems, she wants to go to college. I?ve been working with her to keep up her grades and to find what her interest is?graphic design?I even signed up for this College Admissions Assistance program to help narrow down her schools/ prepare her for her tests/ as well as to get direct help with filling out scholarships and financial aide forms. I am praying that my expected contribution is not high. In fact I really can?t even think that far ahead, clearly.
I NEED YOUR HELP, if you can see your way clear of some. |
