Hey everyone ?
I’m writing this from a place that I never thought I’d have to explain in words, but I need to be honest about where we are.
Right now, life has put my family in a very tight corner. My partner recently lost his job, and we are raising two children, including a 7-month-old baby who needs constant care. We also have two dogs who are part of our home and our responsibility. Everything still moves forward every day, no matter how uncertain things feel.
We are both actively trying to find work and rebuild stability, but right now it’s complicated. With a baby so small and no daycare available that we can afford, I’m unable to return to work in the way I need to. Private childcare is out of reach, and I’m still trying to secure a place that would allow me to step back into employment properly.
In the meantime, we are surviving day by day. There are moments where we stretch food just to make sure everyone eats. And honestly, I can handle going without if it comes to that. What’s hard is when it affects my children. That part is not something you ever get used to. My partner feels the same. It’s not just physical hunger, it’s the weight of knowing you’re doing everything you can and still having to make those kinds of choices. It makes you question yourself in ways that are hard to explain, even when you know you are trying your best.
I carry a lot mentally as well. I live with borderline personality disorder, and under this kind of pressure, some days are heavier than others. Still, I’m doing my best to stay grounded, to stay present for my children, and to keep moving forward even when my mind feels overwhelmed.
This is not a story of giving up. It’s a story of holding on in a very narrow space. I don’t want to depend on others long term. I want to work, to rebuild, to stand fully on my own again with my family.
Right now, I’m just asking for a chance to get through this moment while I keep doing everything I can to move forward with dignity, responsibility, and strength.
It's my first time doing this and I'm not sure if I did it right..I feel very ashamed and I'm sorry
Here's my PayPal if anyone can help. Thank you and have a lovely week. Please love eachother as thee world is already in such a dark place.
