Ive recently broken away from a marriage wich included severe domestic violence due to my soon to be x husbands addiction to methamphetimine.
In order to keep my children safe and escape the situation I had to split my children up by allowing them to stay with realitives.
I have since moved to Southern Oregon from the situation in South Carolina to be closer to my mother.Ive been in Oregon for almost 6 months and have been able to work and have 2 of my children back in my care.
My needs come from the fact that no matter how hard I work it just hasnt been enough to get all the way on my feet.I reside with my mother,grandmother and 2 children 4 and 16 years of age.I need to get out on my own for my children I have,my children I hope to soon have back and for myself. I just need a little backing ive found it to be impossible to be a 36 year old single parent who has litteraly had to start over with absolutly nothing but the will to survive,to beable to get on my feet.
Im not sure what my post will bring,if anything at all,I just seen the site and figured id throw it out there in hopes that somone some where could identify and have the heart to help somone who is more then willing to help themselfs.
Thanks and good luck to all who are in need of help
