Family problems

I am a single mother with 3 children, struggling with every day life. I find it hard to find a job and even harder to keep it. I have a hard time finishing my education because there is always something that comes up that causes me to withdraw (in my case it was moving to another state) I have been in homeless shelters or floated from family to family in their houses. They act like they dont want us there and that they only want to help me because they feel that they have to. I am a very sensitive person and family means a lot to me and I would do just about everything for them if they needed me...but why is it that they dont feel the same way about me? why do they just feel like I am a nu since to them? I think they would rather me and my 3 kids be laid up in a homeless shelter than help me out. I feel like I hate them and they disgust me. does anyone feel the same way about their family?

    Do not feel ashamed because I feel the same way about my family.

    Why don't women take advantage of legal abortions?

    But it sounds like they have tried, and you must appreciate that suddenly having a family of four needing care on their doormat may be at the very least a challenge to handle graciously. Not that I blame you for how you feel. But try not to be too hard on them.

    You are poor. And it is poverty that is the problem, not the people affected by it - i.e. your family and most of all, you and your children.

    It sounds to me that you are really trying with work and education. I can't imagine how difficult that is while trying to survive and raise 3 children on your own. But try to stick with your plans to get beyond the poverty trap and not have it destroy you or your drive for the life of decency and dignity you deserve.

    Call a help line? Maybe consider the dole?
    Try hang on to a job?
