Single mom of 3 kids. Three years ago I tore down my life and began to build it back up the way I wanted it to be. I left their dad and moved to a new city where I worked a shitty job and could only afford a two bedroom apartment. Last year I got a great job, started saving all the money I could, and today I sat on the floor of my new house that I just bought, and cried like a big baby. Even when things are really rough and you can't see the light, remember to keep working to make your situation better. Set goals. Be nice to people. Work hard. Find your happy.

Currently moving out and away from my unhealthy ex to start this journey. Your post has given me much needed inspiration to keep moving on.

Keep on, friend. It's a long hard road. But someday, I promise, you will wake up and it will be ok. Look for the good things.

You're amazing and your kids are lucky to have a mother like you.

Thank you. I shall re-read this comment on my bad Mom days.

As a fellow holy shitballs I bought a house-er, congratulations.
Kaohn22
And to you!!! I only puked once today!

I just pulled in and stared at it today. Like, there’s work to be done, but it’d been so long I thought it’d never happen. Scary but proud.

I'm proud of you! Enjoy the ride!!!

1 As a mother of 3 kids who just recently left her husband, thank you. You have given me hope! I have nothing, not even a job. Sometimes I
Jncat
2 get so frustrated bc I don't know if I'm making the right choice. I'm taking this as a sign that I can do it, I just need to have hope.
Kaohn22
Keep that hope. Focus on the positives. Instead of dwelling in the negatives, spend the energy coming up with solutions. Then work it
Jncat
<3 you're awesome
just4favs
"I worked a shitty job and could only afford a two bedroom apartment" Please, tell me where is this magical place?
Kaohn22
Midwest! We've got a lot of corn and rednecks, but housing is decently affordable.
AngelGiuffriaNiggor
I know it helps you spin the narrative in your favor but you're not a single parent if you share custody.
Ginkawa
exactly. where I live theres not even THAT many rednecks. 2 bed, 800+sq ft apt for <650/mo.
just4favs
Los Angeles, here. You need a good job AND a spouse with at least some kinda income for a 1-bedroom. 2 bed with a shit job? Dreamy.

I needed to hear this so much, I’m so lost. Also, congratulations on the house.
Kaohn22
One day you will wake up and be ok. It happens slowly. But it'll happen.
Ilikeyogurt
I hope that’s true. It’s been so long since everything was ok I don’t remember how it feels like.
Kaohn22
Focus on the good things no matter how small. My first big achievement was paying my bills without the late fee. Baby steps, friend.
SoullessChap
You've done what must human can't do; you found the strength. Happiness will be right around the corner.
CaptainBlacklung
All Humans can do this. They just choose not to.

I needed that. That’s my goal but today it feels like is near impossible... thanks for showing me there’s hope

There's always hope. Focus in the good things, no matter how small. There's always a good thing.

Nice. I just spent two weeks paycheck on turtle supplies.
Kaohn22
That is going to be one happy turtle.
MaxweIIhaus
He is eating shrimp. Seems pretty happy.
EmporioIvankov
Checked your posts, don't see turtles...
MaxweIIhaus
I have not posted any pics of my turtle.
EmporioIvankov
That was my too-subtle way of asking for pictures of your turtles.
MCDAVER
Congrats! Be happy it came with keys. I just bought a place...seller didn't give over any keys so we had to break in. Jerks.
Natsumori
Whoa. Is that legal to withhold the keys?When we bought ours they gave keys, but broke the lock to the front door and the motor 4 the garage
MCDAVER
Probably. Sale agreement didn't specify turning over any keys. Will make sure to get that in on the next go round.
WellAndBe
Oh man dude, I really hope you haven't been scammed. I've seen far too many sad news stories. Make sure, make double sure. :(
MCDAVER
Naw, it's legit. Thanks for the concern though :)
Kaohn22
So many keys. And so many light switches that seemingly do nothing.
embernator
I've got light switches that operate plugs, light switches that operate lights on other floors of the house (which also have 1/2
embernator
switches on the same floor btw), and some switches I still haven't figured out!
embernator
Actually, now that I think about it, those switches might operate the plugs that aren't installed properly and can't have a plug plugged in
jofo
And if unaware, make sure ya change the locks -- both not knowing who has key copies AND you just posted pictures of them to the internet :)
SomersetMaggie
They’ll control lamps when you plug them in if it’s like our place. Congratulations! Lovely flooring
Neorago
Midwest? Because I swear I have more light switches in my apartment than actual lights and after 2 years I'm still confused
Kaohn22
Yes! What is up with that?!
DanielleHL
Probably the light switches that do nothing go with a plug near by. Plug in a lamp or something and it might turn on.
MCDAVER
Ha! Yeah... and figuring out the breakers. They're all labeled incorrectly. Ugh.
TheLetterKay
Yeah but your not allowed to relabel them. Just learn what they go to and when you sell later let it be their problem. Haha haha.
slack3rdav3
Says who?
CapitalPea
Once you correctly label it, it’s life changing.
SecretlySkeletonHitler
Hey, I too bought a house today. 23 engaged non-dad, like the opposite of you
AngelGiuffriaNiggor
No, the bank bought a house. Don't get confused, kid.
SecretlySkeletonHitler
Sure but they gave it to me. And now I just owe them my life :D
AngelGiuffriaNiggor
And you get to pay the taxes on it!
SecretlySkeletonHitler
Yep a whopping couple thousand a year
Kaohn22
Congratulations on the house and the fiance and no surprised pregnancies!
SecretlySkeletonHitler
Thanks :D. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised by one shortly after I get back from my deployment
Kaohn22
Yay!!!! Good luck on your life!

hodorgoestomordor
Please explain why being a single parent should demand respect over a couple who work hard at their marriage and give their kids a good life
SirAegis
You don't have to be married to have kids. Not all relationships are worth saving either. You can be a single parent and give kids a good
SirAegis
Life. It isn't mutually exclusive. Being a single parent can be hard.
hodorgoestomordor
My point is, why does just being a single parent warrant respect. They could be really shitty parents who put themselves in shitty situation
TrdMrk
We don't have a limited amount of respect to dish out. Respect people who are presently doing the right thing, improving, being badass, etc.
hodorgoestomordor
My point is, why does just being a single parent warrant respect. They could be really shitty parents who put themselves in shitty situation
TrdMrk
Of course they could. But OP got shit together and is doing well. Single or not thats one respectable thing.
hodorgoestomordor
But @stopbeingakissass said "mad respect for single parents". As if just being a single parent automatically earned respect.

This gives me an idea for a business. Milk men, but milk is just a side thing. Our primary service is home delivery housewife fucking.
adoration0x
So like Uber Now?
jsktrogdor
Nah, Uber's branding is too scummy and disreputable. We offer only the finest of wife fucking and milk delivery services.
notaprofessionalcommentor
Sign me up. My wife would love this
jsktrogdor
Everyone wins, really. She gets the sexual gratification you are totally incapable of providing, you dont have to run out for milk as often.

Mn? I only ask because it's snowing and that's what my view looks like
Girwashere
I'm guessing Indiana.
blkbox
not because of the geotag of the photo or anything. i'd never look at those of course.
eatmyjuicyturd2
It’s a tree outside of a window. That’s everybody’s view everywhere.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Uhm, it's snowing all over the USA right now...
Soufriere
If you live north of the Compromise or Mason-Dixon lines, sure. But where I am we didn't get snow at all this winter. Unusual.
RenaissanceFaireMan
How sad.
SeeMyVests
[laughs in central Californian]
RenaissanceFaireMan
California hasn't had a major earthquake and fallen into the ocean yet? Lex Luthor has a plan....mark my words!
nomunnywunnytilugetthebunnyhunny
I went to the beach today. It was 85. Haven't seen snow here in almost 40 years.
RenaissanceFaireMan
How sad.
iluvbunbuns
I went swimming today in my condos pool, (South OC California). I didn't see any snow ;)

NorCal here (Southern Bay Area). Hasn’t snowed for decades.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Nobody cares what the NorCal area thinks....
ElegantKitty
Is it snowing in Nevada? I'm too lazy to check. I wish it was because it's 90 fucking degrees.
Demauscian
Looks like a tiny spot near Elko is getting snow. (Fun fact, nevada means snow covered in Spanish.)
ElegantKitty
I know. I'm from Nevada... *Narrows eyes...*
RenaissanceFaireMan
So racist!
Demauscian
I live in Montana, it means mountain or mountainous (if you add the ~ back to the n).
ihateGA
It was 70 degrees today in East Tennessee..
RenaissanceFaireMan
Shouldn't you be with your sister instead of on Imgur?

My sister lives 2,000 miles from me..

It ain't snowing in Grand Junction, Fruita, and Denver Colorado!
RenaissanceFaireMan
Liar, it's always snowing in Denver.
Buckbeak1486
I'm in Denver right now. It's sunny, cold, and windy
RenaissanceFaireMan
With snow, bet you there's snow.

85 degrees and humid in Texas. I wore booty shorts and a tank top.

it's been 80 for a week in sacramento. just before it'd been raining for a few weeks. i guess summer's just about here! :(

I just left there for the Midwest. I want to go back :( never thought I’d say that..
ToucanSonofSam
it's not the awesomest place in CA, but i'd still way rather be here than midwest. snow with no mountains?! why do so many ppl live there?
RenaissanceFaireMan
Rent is reasonable? I pay $425 for a 2 bed apt here.
VInTheSkyWithElephants
It is definitely cheaper, but it is so cold and windy. I enjoy having multiple seasons again though...
tatopotato
Betcha it's not snowing in Florida.
Demauscian
It "snowed" twice in Florida this year, both in January. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_in_Florida#21st_century_(20_reported_events)
RenaissanceFaireMan
I don't count Florida as being in the USA. Too many crazy people.
RenaissanceFaireMan
"In the news, a Florida guy did something crazy." - every news source.
RenaissanceFaireMan
"We don't claim all these crazy Florida people as part of the USA" - the other 49 states.
Marayla
Not snowing in AZ right now. Rather pleasantly warm, actually. I might decide to go swimming this week.
RenaissanceFaireMan
There's nothing in Arizona. Been there, done that.
Marayla
You clearly didn't ask the locals what would be fun. We've got ostriches, the Polar Express, the Grand Canyon, Organ Stop Pizza...
Marayla
A really cool mining camp restaurant with live entertainment, hiking trails, Clear Creek camping with a really cool natural water slide...
RenaissanceFaireMan
I very much doubt you have anything called "polar" there....

Nope, although the view in the Midwest is similar.
