[quote=Anonymous]OP, it will be OK. Single mom here, I can relate to how you feel, on many points. Some things to keep in mind. For one, your child will probably be able to get some scholarships. It won't be easy but they probably will be able to do OK. Secondly, you cannot derail your kid's life by leaving her. You are not allowed to leave her. Thirdly, one of the things I did in your situation was get a roommate. We shared a single family home. Coabode connects single moms looking to house share, and maybe child care share. Also, I picked up a weekend job. It's not much per hour but when I get paid it covers my car payment which is nice. If your child is going to school in 2.5 years, she can probably get a job. She can start saving for the future. Encourage her to do that. Working in high school taught me a lot. Next, if you'd like detailed help, post your budget. Also, if you'd like some ideas on jobs, post your field (haven't read the whole thread yet). Shave your head! So many black ladies look amazing with the Danai Gurrira/T'nia Miller look. You will be OK. Your daughter will be OK if you keep on being her mom. [/quote]
