These past few months have been hell, i moved out from my dads place after having my baby to live with my mom hoping things would be better with her and they were for a year. Until she and i got into a fight, over my boyfriend. She was right, i was a prick but things were never the same after that, we fought a lot. Up until the point where she started demanding rent, got a job but i wasnt able to.keep it because of my anxiety amd depression. My mistake. Fast foward, she called the police on me after my sister (18), and i verbally fought, told her i was gonna punch her and kill her after she told me i was a failure for having a kid at 18. Of course i was mad, furious actually. So anyways, the cop told me to get out or go through court, i left, was homeless for a night, dropped my baby off at her dads. His family wont take me in because im not wanted, its alright. Slept in a park, my awesome neighbors came and got me made me sleep at their place. 2 days later they tried talking to her, after HOURS of talking she reluctantly let me back, she told them i had a month. But a month for what? She receives food stamps and claims me and my child so she can get $500 as oppsed to whatever else. I know its silly to fight for welfare but social services wont even let me in a shelter without my own case and i really needed it. But whatever she let me back in, i managed to score a job at target, amd got on online school, prepare for my daughters 1st birthday party but now she wants me out be sept 7 and honestly, i know i sound like a prissy ***** but i havent told you guys all ive endured nor do i want to, its too much. I have no where to go my friends can only help so much you know? My bf isnt shit, and honestly im contemplating throwing my self off the mall building, i cant even provide for my daughter i dont want her going through this. Shes better off with my bf family, they love her plus they have more money and theyre am actual family. I guess my question is, how high does a jump have to typically be to kill you?

I don’t know off the top of my head (and Admin deletes any talk about methods), but I’ve read about it in the past and I think it’s often higher than people think. Please don’t do anything like that. You have to give yourself more time than your mum’s giving you to get back on your feet. You’re doing well and I know you must be so worried, but look what you’ve done so far. People have come out and helped you when you needed it, and you’ve managed to get a job and into education. Some people would have just given up. Your daughter doesn’t only need financial provision or a ‘real family’, she’ll grow up wanting YOU. And based on everything you’ve done so far I don’t see any reason why you’d be in this situation in a few years’ time. It’s not a good thing that your mum’s trying to get you out before you can provide for yourself, but in the long run it’ll probably be good not to be living under her roof, given that you’ve had those problems with her. Are there any shelters, charities, that you could get in touch with? Whatever you do, don’t die.
I agree with Trix that your daughter needs you, not your bf’s family. And the legal system may not even let her stay with them.
I’ll hope you’ll keep trying.
Don’t waste that heart of yours.
I’m trying, I’m trying so hard not to do it, it was gonna be today but I couldn’t. My daughter hugged and kissed me and I couldn’t do it. Fortunately a friend of mine is lending me her room until I find something. Thank you guys for the uplifting words, I’m sorry I’m so pathetic.
Pathetic? Considering the challenges you face and have already overcome to get to this point, I’d say you’re damn tough. Hang in there.
And three cheers for that friend letting you stay with her.
Please stay here. I love you. We all love you. I know how you feel and I know that everyone hates being told that… But I’m sorry. It will always get better.
I wouldn’t jump. Recently someone I know fell off of some scaffolding 40 ft and he lived, they didn’t think he would but he did, and he now has the mental capacity of a 2 year old is in a full care facility. I know what you are going through now is horrible but there is still a chance it could get better, things always change.
