I'm sure there are people out there that have it worse then I do. Actually, up to like 3 years ago I my life was going pretty good. I had a good job, my daughter and I lived in a nice apartment. I was able to pay my bills...Then I let a man in our life and it all went to hell. Anyway, we ended up giving up our apartment to live in his dump, which I had to do alot of work to it to make it liveable for my daughter and I. This man and I worked at the same place, and after I had been there for 3 years and he was there for 5, new owners came in and decided to get rid of all the employees and start from scratch. So I lost my job. Trying to get another job was impossible. No one was hiring. So I collected my unemployment until it ran out. Then all I had to live on was my child support $200.00 a month.  I finally got another job, not the greatest job, but regardless a job...after being at this job for 2 months, I got sick, and I'm not talking just a little bug...I got diagnosed with COPD, Emphesyma, and Asthma. I was put on oxygen for 24 hours a day. Let me tell you about the man also, he drinks every night, and makes my life pure hell...I had to start taking anti-depressants 2 years ago, and I am still very depressed.  I just need a way out, a new start...I need it for my little girl.  She has been through hell and back too, watching her mom not being able to breath, always depressed, and a man in her life that does nothing but put her down all the time.She has cried many tears, and I just want to make her smile, and with Christmas coming up I know the best gift I could give her is a new start for us, and the sooner we have our own place to live, the sooner I will get out of this depression...and eventually, either go to school or get a job.  Thanks for taking the time to read this, and if anyone wants to respond to me, even as just a friend to talk to, I would really appreciate it. krissylee420@hotmail.com  God Bless!
