Pulling ourselves together

Being homeless gives you a whole new perspective on things. I would say my boys handled the whole thing pretty well . I honestly think this last month has been harder on them than a year when we had n place to live. Just before Easter, my (ex) husband and I had our divorce finalized. He had filed almost two years ago after the kids and I moved out of the home we had all shared. He had moved out years ago but didn't think we should move without him knowing about it. So anyway almost two years later it''s over. Poor baby doesn't think he should have to work more than one job so when the court ordered him to pay a decent amount of child support he moved out of his apartment and quit the job he had. Now our boys have only seen Dad for a few miutes when he left off a support payment. He told the boys that since hope they do as well as in previous he didn't have a place to live he couldn't pick them up every other weekend and when he did it would only be one of them at a time. So far not at all. Now I have one child diagnosed as depressed and the other one almost flunking school because he can't concentrate. Nice guy, always thinking of himself. I lived with my kids for weeks homeless and this guy can't take them for a weekend? WTF? At least call the kids, you jackass. We can do this, though. I have faith in us as a family. I believe in my children. I am trying to deal with the discovery of arthritis and degenerating disks in my back but that will not stop me from finding a way to increase my income and move my kids to a bigger and better place. Anything is possibe. My kids will be okay. They know what homeless was like. Now they will know comfort.Writing things down helps me focus. I have the solution to the problem. I just need to show my work. Just like being in school. My boys are taking their TAKS tests today. I hope they do as well as in previous years. :)
