What scares you the most about being on your own.
Finances, resources. I can't put my kids in a normal school, and daycares are not equipped to deal with their special needs (at least not any daycare here, and if I found one, I probably couldn't afford it. I have no idea at all how I could support the kids and myself without having a regular job ... which would mean that I would need to find somewhere for them to go, someone else who could take care of them. Add that to the fact that I don't want to have to leave them and the fact that my high anxiety makes it hard for me to work sometimes, compounded by the fact that just having their father gone would be enough upheaval without throwing them in a daycare all day so I could work some crap-ass minimum wage job, so they're effectively losing out on contact with BOTH parents, and these being kids that don't deal well with change and upsets .... shit, I could actually go on for hours about the various things that scare me about it, this barely scratches the surface really. Maybe if

Thanks again for your honesty, as usual you held nothing back(and yes, that's a compliment). That's a tough situation, because at times my heart goes out to you.this is it, this one time around and we all deserve as much out of it as possible, as much joy and wonder and excitment. And you are right you should be paid to mother your kids. If this societies family values were real and not just design to ailenate you wouldn't be stuck in this either or situation. Whoa I answered your novel with one of my own.
sorry this took so longfunnydykeSeptember 22 2008, 21:49:21 UTC
A) I think you were also a friend of zorah's too. But it's been a while and I have a terrible memory! B)The Cures "Strange Girl" I don't know why exactly it just does. C) I like your ability to keep your head together in the midst of turmoil. I imagine you'd be a wonderful friend in rl because you seem drama free and look for good sides. (Wow that sounded really pollyanna!) D) what do you (really) want to be when you grow up and are you on the path to get there? E) you've done it!!
