Single Parent Financial Issues

single parent financial issues
What should a single unemployed mother of 2 do to support her kids?

I am 24 stay at home with my parents going through a divorce. I do not work, but my mother works at 5pm to 3am and my little sister works at 10pm to 7am. So between those time my mother helps me with my kids we are going through some financial issues and we are behind rent 4 months. We only have one vehicle and my dad drives both of them to work. I'm a emotional wreck right now and I seeking some advice and help.What should I do at this moment?

I understand what you're going through. I'm dealing with a similar situation. First of all, if you're not already you need to start looking for a job. Even in the bad economy there are still jobs out there. Take a job at McDonald's if you have to. Then find a good daycare and put your kids in daycare. Unfortunately being a stay at home mom isn't an option for you anymore. The government will be able to provide assistant for daycare for as long as you need it. Then with your first check pay any bills you can with half the check and put the remaining portion in savings for your own apartment. Continue doing this until you have enough saved up for an apartment of your own. You could even apply for section eight and food stamps if you need to. There is nothing wrong with being on welfare. It's there for those who need the help and you need it. As for your emotional state, I'm sure you're battling a lot emotionally and it will start taking a toll on your children if you don't fix it. Find a good pastor at a church and get some counseling to heal your broken heart and stress from your divorce. Pastors are great counselors and they typically don't charge anything.

After resurection I don't care about money! Heaven & Hell. NDE
