So I have been living with my dad for about a year and a half now, since my ex and I split. I have a 2 1/2 year old and I have been working at my job for almost a year now, full time. I have been thinking about dancing for months now and I have been slowly building up my wardrobe and platforms so that I can start in January. I have been working out like crazy trying to tone up more just to build a lil more confidence.
My dad has been on disibility for a year now, he has osteoarthritis in his hip and can't even walk down the street without being in severe pain the following day,stuck on the couch. Last night he got his last disibility check and it said that it's been exhausted. So it looks like I'm going to be auditioning sooner than I expected. This is so stressful, I make about $12 an hr at my day job and if I work a full 40 hour week, my check is around $900 every two weeks. That is barely enough to pay a $1300 rent, plus gas, groceries and all of my bills that add up to around $300 a month. Luckly he has a couple grand in savings, but that will go fast.
I guess I'm just looking for some words of encouragement and a place to vent, I don't have anyone else to talk to about this situation besides my boyfried. He completely understands the situation and said that he will help as much as possible. I'm super stressed and worried that I just wont be able to get the nerve to actually go through with dancing. I really want to do it, but now that this is all becoming a reality quickly I'm kinda freaking out. There is a lot of pressure on me to provide for my family, or we can go homeless.
My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and I don't know if it's too early to ask him to move in with me. I don't want it to be a burden, like I need him to help. I don't want to rush things between us, this is the first time he has dated someone with a kid, and it's a learning experience for all of us. He also is in school, and works full time, I don't want to stress him out with his studying.
Any words of advice?![]()
