What it means this time if she gets a divorce..

So my stepdad is a jerk. I'll leave it at that...if u know me well and u want to know....private message me sometime. Anyhoo tonight was the umpteenth time he showed his "jerkiness." My mom has threatened divorce a few times....but I really think she was serious this morning...when she let him come in the house to get ready for work. Anywayz....we live in a 2 bedroom rental close to my college and my mom makes less than half the income. If she follows through with the divorce...pretty much our only choice is to move to the projects down the street 'cause we're...well, poor. As it is I already share a room with my messy sister..and we have no room for all of our stuff. But mann if we move down the street...pretty much I'm thinkin everything will just stay in boxes. In addition...today one of my two bosses decided to cut my hours down so instead of making roughly 300 a month I'll now make 240. so i'm not gonna be a big help....at least not at this point. I feel really useless. I'm extremely upset with my stepdad and yah i'm half way through my semester at college and we're gonna have to pack up and move. In fact, my stepdad is even threatening to shut off the power today. I'm really confused, frustrated, sad, and who knows what. I didn't sleep tonight 'cause I was keeping a lookout for him...trying to get into the house.

But yah...we could really use your prayers. I don't want my mom to change her mind again and let him stay....he does this too often. He's not ready for marriage...it's all about him. We're gonna need to find a place to stay and hope that we have enuff for bills and groceries at the least. Time will tell...thanks

Wow Betsy. I will be in prayer for you.

Thanks sooooooo much Grace!!!!!! <3

so i have a partial update: my mom is actually looking for apartments right now they are going to be 2bdrm still but not in the projects. this also makes me think she is really serious this time about the divorce.

I thank God that she's good at juggling bills and I also thank Him in advance for taking care of our needs....even if my mom isn't a Christian and isn't going to look to Him for advice. thank you thank you for prayers!

Although your mom may not turn to our Lord for advice, she has you to do just that & that alone is enough. You will be in my prayers & I know everything will work out fine for everyone.

Thanks Joey, so much.

I love you Betsy and I'm praying for you!
=)

i will be praying for you and your mom! just pray and ask God for wisdom for you and your mom. i KNOW it is not easy!!!! stay strong!! you seem to be a hard working young lady and i pray the best for you and your family! by the way - on a lighter note- your picture is so funny!!

lol thanks maye

i'm just taking some time to breathe....and pray. the stressful part will be balancing homework with packing to leave. bahh. i'll keep you all upto date.

So, my mom makes $40 dollars a month too much for foodstamps. If i can get into work-study at my college than we can get them....if not i'll prolly need to get another job or something....'cause money will already be tight. This keeps getting better and better...

bahhhhhhh the work-study at my school prolly doesn't even count............cause the money doesnt go directly into my tuition...i get a paycheck. i need to find some more jobs.

You know all the scripture about how faithful our Lord is. Read it and remember it. Praying that you will not have to interfer with study time by getting another job, cause your studies are most important now... I know EATING is pretty important too! Praying for the salvation of your mom too. God Bless YOu.

Hey Betsy, I've never really talked with u a lot, but I've seen u in chat a few times, but anyway, ur situation sounds a lot similar to mine growing up with a stupid step-dad. I know exactly how u feel right now and it is tuff, but know that u will all get through it because "If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it"

I am going to be praying for you guys and for your situation.

Keep your Faith strong!

Blessings,

Amber

Thanks so much Amber!!

Thanks knite. The prayers are just fine. Keep 'em coming! I'm putting an ad up soon on craiglist for some more odd jobs. I found my first cleaning job there, so I'm hoping to hit upon some more. I'm really sorry that you're going through rough stuff as well...and I hope ur situation brightens really soon!

Thank youuu Marcia!! :-]
