Broke and embarrassed

I put my all into my relationship and family. Always Made a lot of money, always been self sufficient, kept a job , Cooked, cleaned. For me now.. to be a struggling sahm. Not a dollar to my name. No income. No help. Can barely keep my mind clear for my baby half the time is crazy. I literally have no words on how I’m feeling because how did I get here? I’m 24 Yrs old and I feel like I signed my life away

have you considered going back to school online? or getting a part time WFH job? this can help you develop a routine and find a sense of independence and sense of self 😊❤️

@Alyssa I’ve been trying to get a wfh job but it’s currently so hard and I just feel defeated not getting hired. Do you have any recommendations?

My friends have had a lot of luck with reception jobs!! i’m not in NYC, all the way across the country actually. but i hope that helps!

I’m 25 I’m currently going through the same thing. I have 3 kids. Before the kids I was working and taking care of everyone(my lil family plus my mom, lil brother and helping my grandma out). After the kids I wasn’t working and I stopped going to school I was just losing myself. I was scared to leave them with somebody else to watch only because of things that happened before leaving them in someone else’s care. My now the littlest is 1. I decided to go back to school I tried to take most of my classes online so that I’m only away from them 1 or 2 days out of the week. It definitely helps to get out of and clear your head. Even if it a quick trip to Starbucks. I had to learn that with the last one because I was suffocating myself in the house with them 24/7 I started taking little trips to Starbucks, target or the mall with my sister. I started to feel less confused then I decided to go back to school now. Sometimes you have to put yourself first so you can be the best for them.
