I'm a 35 year old single mom of 2 great kids - probably the only thing I've ever done right. I live in a run-down house with my mom where the kids are too ashamed to invite friends over. I've gone from chubby and pretty to obese and ugly. I'm an LPN with no license for this state because I can never afford it and frankly, I hate nursing. However, I'm going to school to be an RN because I feel like that is what everyone, including my kids, expects me to do. I have lumps in my breasts but I can't get a diagnosis until I can afford life insurance. I'm unemployed and have been for almost a year. I did some work online, but it requires creativity and I just don't have it in me right now. I don't have clothes to get a job, my car is a piece of crap, and I really am just so ashamed of myself that I can't talk myself in to walking in some place to fill out an application. I just feel like such a failure and I know the kids probably see me that way too now that they are older.
