I'm a 24 yr. old mother of 3 small boys. My oldest 2 are from a previous relationship to a man w/whom I'm still lagally married.And they both reside w/their Daddy,God is good! I able to care for them as needed and was battling an addiction to meth.It was my decision to leave the home we'd created,knowing they'd be better off w/o me and my addiction.Unaware of certain facts that've recently been brought to my attn. by a mutual friend,I became involved w/ a past neighbor,who I once babysat for! It wasn't meant to be more than a fling but circumstances changed that,quickly! Before I could realize what'd happened I was living w/him at his sisters house,w/o someone to turn to for advice,my own fault. 2 yrs. later I'm the Momma of my 3rd and last boy(got my tubes tied),which soon after his arrival his father was sent to prison for 15 mnths. during which time I was for the 1st time attemping to make it on my own.Yet here I am afraid to leave and more afraid of what's to come if I stay.

Well, you are beginning to realize that everything you are dealing with is a result of bad decisions on your part ... if you are staying there out of fear, then go to a womans shelter and get some counselling so you can become empowered. Find a way to further your education so you wont have to be dependen on anyone and there are programs available for single mom's ( you may have to get a divorce to qualify for them) to cover education and chid support while getting your degree ... I would suggest the medical field although your past involvement with drugs may exclude you from it. Take an aptitude test and see what you are most interested in and qualified to study. Good luck! There are government programs to assist you, use them ... thats why I pay taxes.

If he is locked up, LEAVE TOWN !Hurry, before he is released! If he is already out, you may need to go to the court house and get a restraining order.
in an emergency situation, [domestic abuse] you can even see a judge the same day. The abuse can be physical, emotional or mental.Either towards ou, or your child. Be prepared to document detailed events with dates.
Don't be too embarrassed or ashamed to answer honestly. The judge will base his decision on whether you need an order of protection, only on what you put in these papers.
There are shelters you and your children can go where you will be safe and not homeless. they will even help you with the papers.
Don't allow yourself or child to remain in this type of environment. First, Get out. Then you need to get yourself into a drug program. your children need you. good luck.
