So it's been a year since goodbyes were said and I was forced to start anew. I found out my boyfriend of three and a half years was cheating on me, used me for what he could, and discarded my kids and me like we were garbage. All the pretty words were gone. He used me to get a new place, pay all the deposits, and took us away from my parents' home - a bloody friggin hour away. After a few weeks of being there he decided that he couldn't handle my lack of a job (although he never once mentioned this was an issue) and that he was ready to call it quits. Come to find out he just wanted to openly screw his assistant manager - a little girl from another store that was a cashier and he transferred to his store as a part of his management. No wonder it only last a couple of months. Of course he did the same to her and he's on to the next one except he married her and knocked her up. More power to the two idiots. If anyone takes in someone who is a cheater and abandons their family then they need a few lessons at the school of hard knocks.
I, on the other hand, had to go back to my parents' house in the hopes they would take us back in. My mom gave me the option to either find a job or go to school. I enrolled in Miller-Motte college as a medical assistant hoping this would give me the opportunity to do right by my girls since their father couldn't be bothered. I got state assistance - food stamps, medicaid, and day care assistance. Don't judge me. I have to do what's best for my girls and this was one way I could.
