    Default What are the chances...?

    If this is in the wrong section,my apologies.

    My son & I are living in a shelter. I was in an abusive relationship for about 8 yrs and in those 8 yrs I totally lost myself. All the money I used to make was used to either party when I was younger or pay for his schooling at the time which he has now graduated. Anyway,I basically don't have anything now from it and will have to start all over. I'm almost 30 and at this point in life I feel like "wow,I should be going up,not down" but can't change the past so no need to keep beating myself up about decisions I made. I've always had a huge interest in the mental health and criminal justice field so I was thinking of going for a paralegal certification and starting over for us in Texas (preferably Houston or the outskirts,I even love Dallas too). I would also like to dance but idk what I would do about my son while I work at night tho. (He's 8 yrs old). I understand you have to have money to move so I plan on dancing every night and saving. Here at the shelter everything is free so I am able to somewhat save. I also plan to use my tax return from earlier in 2015 from my part time job. So does this sound possible?


    I also plan to get a degree once I'm okay,but I know I need some type of education before just packing up and leaving.


    Im sure someone will ask....no I don't have any reliable family to help me. My parents are great,but they can't afford to help us. I'm an only child so no siblings. Far as friends,I have one good friend but we can't move in with them.

    Thanks

    Can you dance on the day shift so that way you don't have to worry about child care? Lots of clubs will work with girls who have to pick up kids from school.

    Ask your local women's shelter for help. I wish you the best.

    Can the mods move this to "life support" I didn't realize that section was there before posting.
