Failure ,that's Me

I feel as you do. So much so I felt like i wrote your comment.

I agree with inherentintelligence and seelieFay,. I have made some terible decisons in life too with bad consequenses. there is always a good reward for the struggle. your children will know that you tried and they will respect you for that.

From what I gather every parent feels this way at some point or a lot of the time. A big mistake parents make is letting their children know their struggle and financial hardships. Children should not have to worry about adult things they don't understand. The good news is they see the best, you're their hero, their provider. Kids can make the grandest time out of the simplest things, spend time with them, play games. This is the only childhood with them there will be. Show them your strength because thats how they already see you.

Give your children the most valuable thing you can give, your love! Teach them that the most precious things in life are not for sale. Let them know that you want to provide the things that other children have, but it is not possible at this moment in your life. Money can leave you, at any time. I have had it all and gave it up to be out of a bad marriage, made a lot, lost it in the recent crash. I get down on myself at times, but not for long, only long enough to kick myself in the *** and be thankful I have the love of my daughter and my health. I will be ok and so will you. As long as you never give up on yourself and your integrity, you are more wealthy than most of the scum on wall street and the banking system. Your children will see that and I hope you do too.

I often feel this way. It is very depressing, and all the more so when the steps you take to resolve your situation in life are met with more and more obstacles. I have not accomplished anything worthwhile in life and worry about my future every day.

you have no idea the s*** that i'm in.



i'm financially dependent on someone who makes my life a living hell everyday...



my sister earns a few times my income, being 12 yrs my senior, she naturally takes up the responsibility to provide for our family (aging parents, another deadbeat sister and me) But we hav2 be at her mercy all the time, she's becoming more n more like a tyrant



n then being as judgmental as she is, she judges EVERYONE she comes across (first impressions) that they're all losers, she looks up to wealthy people n looks down on the socially deprived..thinking that she's a class above everyone



Living with her is a complete nightmare...being financially controlled, i hav no say in everything, no stand, no place...



Pastor at my church once preached "Blessed are the meak"..I tried to be that meak person, but with her, i'd be a miracle i dont burst my lungs out. Its impossible to communicate with her...another sister of mine moved out of the house because tat stupid idiot was trashing and judging her bf so much, meddling in her daily affairs, she couldnt take it anymore

I feel like that too. I have made some mistakes in my life. I live with a lot of regret. Sometimes I feel like nothing I do will ever be good enough; but all you can do is keep trying and keep moving forward.
