I Thought i was happily married for 14 yrs. I was your typical stay at home, pta going mom.  I loved my life, my kids were in great schools, happy, financially there were problems but I just thought this was normal.  It wasnt, he  had a drug problem and I just found out about it.  We moved once and he told me our lease was up, which it was, he had planned to move to South Carolina, we had always talked about it, we love it there.....so being our lease was up we thought it was time, we had about 2 or 3 months transition, til we were ready to go.  We packed stuff in storage, took an apartment where he works, they offered it for free, we had to move out of the girls school district and for a couple of months I home schooled, till we were able to go.  Well he drops the bomb on me.......we were told to leave our house the landlord did not want to re sign with us, becasue our rent was always late.....now he tells me about the drugs and money problems, and how now is not the right time to move, I can not keep my girls out of school anymore, the schools in Philadelphia are terrible, I desperately want to go back to the town we used to live in and get my girls settled...........I know i can do this, its scary, but I need to do this.

Im a single mom recently relocated after a 4 year relationship that went pretty badly. ( My partner was a heroine addict/ alcoholic) I didnt know about it when we first met of for a long time afterwards until things really started falling apart. To keep a graphic story short,after finding him passed out one night with a bottle of vodka on the TV and my then 2 1/2 year old son walking through the living room with a gun I packed up my car, child and dogs and drove out of state. Weve been struggling to get by since then but Ive landed a decent full time job as a receptionist and im working to save up enough to get us into our own place, pay for childcare, keep us fed... pretty much all the basic stuff most families need to function. So im on the right track I could just use some help keeping us going in the right direction. I could also use some help or advise getting a lawyer to help gain full custody of my son...although I realize with those sort of fees thats probably a pipe dream too. I am willing to work hard to repay any help I am given, within reason( I still have some dignity). Thanks for taking the time to read this.
