I am not disabled, but my daughter is.
She is able to attend public school but the teasing is so tormenting that she hates school and was depressed. So I took her out to homeschool her.
Now since I 've had to leave workforce, I am going to lose my vehicle loan to repo.
I recently had to have surgery and won't even be able to pay those bills.
I don't know what to do.
I am very depressed and feel that we will just always be poor and broke and struggling. I don't want that for my children. I have two other kids who live with me too and they all deserve the best.
Being a single parent is hard enough.
I just don't know if I've made a mistake letting my daughter be homeschooled and quitting my job. (by the way, I SUCK at being a teacher too). I often wonder if I should force her to attend, but I don't want her to be miserable. Her future is so unclear wondering if anyone will hire her b/c of her cerebral palsy and epilepsy.
How am I supposed to ever get my head above water? How can I teach my children how to get ahead in life when I can't even show them or be a good role model for them?
These are questions I ask myself all of the time.
Have things turned around for you? Have you found any help out there? I truly hope that you have and that this is a brand new year and start for you.
