You've made bad choices & wonder when you're "luck" will turn. Lately it seems as if I've failed my kids. One father is in jail and my youngest son's dad wants nothing to do with us. I've had a lot of failed relationships. I've always wondered if it was "me" that caused them to not work. However looking at where they are in life now, it was clearly them. I am just tired of existing instead of living. It makes me feel like a horrible person, let alone a terrible mom. When does this go away? I can't wait much longer.

Annie I've come to realize that if you want change you have to make it! For the longest time I would do exactly as you are doing and just question and wait, and wait I did as nothing happened. It wasn't until I decided that I wanted my life to be what it is suppose to be that something good happened. I am a wife, a mom, college educated, and really happy, because that is what I want in my life. Make a plan, stick to it, and watch it develop, and it will. This life is yours as a gift from God what you do with it is your gift to God. Make Him proud and in doing so you will accomplish anything! Good Luck and God Bless.

Dear Annie,we all make bad choices in life. Dont beat yourself up over it. If anything be glad those losers are out of yours and your childrens lives.You have a better shot living without them around. What you do now is pick yourself up ,dust yourself off,and think about your kids and what kind of life you want for them and their future. I think for now at least you should forget about all men and focus on making life as good as you can for you and the kids. They are your life now. If you have a job great! If you dont maybe you should consider getting one if you can get a trusted sitter and if your income would allow it .But if not then you can start a new life by doing things like whipping your house into shape and getting rid of any clutter if you have any ,and if you have any good friends you can start making plans with them at least once a week (with or without the kids). You can spend time with relatives you dont see often or plan a day trip somewhere once a month and a big vacation once a year with family or friends.It will give yourself something to look forward to regularly.Take the kids to lunch at mcdonalds with a friend or go hike at the park .Anything is better than sitting around feeling like you just exist and arent living! Thats depressing! Sit down outside with a pad and pen and let the kids run around the yard,and while youre out there make a list of things that need done and a list of things you would like to do.Ask the kids to help give ideas.Go for a ride and visit another town,maybe theres a zoo there the kids would like to go to. Just have fun and enjoy your kids while theyre still young and look ahead and forward to tomorrow and leave the past where it belongs behind you!
