Bri i really do understand completely how hard it must be for both of you, i also know when i was raising my son i had no help from the father, he was supporting four other children, and they were not even his,just like you my son was last too, and it hurts you and your mother so much.

Because i have walked in your mothers shoes, i really can relate to her difficulties, i was fortunate to have parents who could and would help me out financially,if it was not for them, i hate to think where i would be today,your mother is a few years older than me, so it is tough to get out there, today's work force is so different from our day, so technical, and i think she just lacks self confidence and that can really hold you back.

I sure hope things really can turn around for you both, it is hard for you to have to step up ,when at 19 life should just be fun,fun,fun, i get that,but stick together and hopefully things will improve, i know it is extremely hard, and please understand i have never been down on you, i just get it from both of your perspectives,i really do, again many HUGS....
