cHRISTMMAS BLUES

As Chrismas draws close we as single parents struggle to make the right choices...do we pay bills????and not get the children anything or do we buy for the kids and forego th billss...I  explain it to my children and I get them at least one thing they want and pay on all the bills to keep the household going...no thats not what I would like to do but this has become a way of life for me as a single mom for so long with no help in sight...also father calls and wishes me a merry christnas not once stating were you able to provide our a Christmas or could I possibly in anway...I mean Ive only raised him yrs all by myself without financial support ...oh there was the time he sent a $20 money order in the mail and wrote CHILD SUPPORT in big black letters on it back when he was 1...Si
