wow has it been a very hard beginning of a new year for me and my children....i first came to aidpage in need of help.after a difficult split from my ex who became violent and did everything in his power to hurt and destroy my life...its been almost 5yrs of pain and struggle..now everything is different.i got a phone call the first week of january,that he is dead.he had a massive heartattack.now my little girl will never see her dad again.im feeling so guilty and terrible inside.i kept her away from him because of his temper,violence,and drug use.usually once every 2months she'd have a breakdown and cry...asking when she was ever gonna get to see her daddy again.i always promised her"honey,i promise as soon as ur daddy starts doing the right things and can stop being so mad,u will see him again i promise".Now she'll never see him and im angry inside!he never did right by her..she hurts so much and needed him.how will i ever justify keeping her from him?will this guilt ever go away? now,things will be easier on me,because he cant hurt me anymore...but my baby is hurting and misses her father.i also spent years with this man and at one point,was in love with him...now i find myself thinking back to "when it was good"and as crazy as it sounds...im hurting too.after all hes done to me and my children,why? i pray hes at peace now,i sure am not...the guilt is horrible!now i find out yesterday that my father has cancer...now am i going to loose my dad too?im my dad is an amazing man.hes such a hard worker.he busts him butt everyday to provide for himself,mom,and my 3nephews and a girlfriend..he has no health insurance,no life insurance,no retirement,no 401k...just nothing,,he lives paycheck to paycheck.now hes already a month behind on all his bills from spending 3weeks in the hospital at christmas time.he rents and the landlord is getting anxious.his car payments a moth behind..now he is probaly going to need kemo n radiation...he's not going to be able to work.mom has never worked.are they going to be homeless?i feel like as if things werent already really hard for me and my kids...but now,im more afraid then ever..i am so tired,so what am i going to do?where will i find the strength to help hold our family together....i talked to mom abt moving back to baltimore,we can find a place big enough for me and my kids and them.i will work and try to pay the bills so dad can be sick,without the worries of where theyll live or if theyll eat...i am struggling so badly now by myself.i have to find a way to do this for my father.i did find out i will be getting $500month fron social security from my ex's death to help take care of my daughter.but thats not enough to even pay a rent anywhere...me and the kids are staying with someone now...kinda renting 2rooms.i do work,but mostly for tips and thats been bad for like a year.i feel so alone and afraid.my dad is our rock.i mean my mom lives for him and he is her entire world..now all she can do is cry.God, i need u now more than ever,please send me some strength and guidance?please help us through this..i cannot do it alone.
