Hello,

I am a single mother who is stuggling emotionally as well as financially. I had my daughter at 19 and have worked very hard to make sure she has always had stable environment. Her father left us due to his addiction to drugs. I am using all my energy trying to survive, pay rent and have food on the table.

In my job I help drug addicted adolescents with there substance abuse issues, I realize that I need to spend more time taking care of myself.

I am searching for help and I found this website, if anyone can help or has any ideas please let me know-

Sincerly,

lisa

I have worked with kids hooked on drugs for almost 11 years now.  I love my job but it pays poorly.  The town i am in is economically depressed and there are many like me in need.  Jobs are hard and I am lucky to have one but two is almost impossible.

  I love my son and wife dearly and would do anything for them.  My goal in life is to be an ever more loving, spiritual and patient man and to instill these values in my son.
