the past few years have been an absolute nightmare. Ive been assaulted, my windows have been smashed in (neighbours from hell, split u with partner and have had a bereavement from the only person who supported me. My family dont even help me as they are so selfish. (i see my brothers every 3-4 years)
my landlord should give me compensation as i have damaged property and havent been able to use my bedroom. But when i told him, he aid we'll discuss it when we review your rent. He wont even paint a concrete bedroom wall now!
I dont mind going through stress if something positive happens. But my stress, doesnt even get me anywhere. I know im strong to cope with all this and raise two great kids-but so f**g what! why do i get even more stress!
i deserve better than all this. And i get mad when i have to work really hard, just to pay rent and bills, and not get into further debt. I see my landlord who tries to bully me, and swans around in a decent car. I see people in 2 parent families who have support, and still say its hard and tiring.
i cant even see a way out of it either. Just to keep on going and trying to be posiitve-but im fed up with it.
im fed up with being told im strong. I just wan to start enjoying my life, well living it for me, insteed of being constantly strong.
my kids see their classmates with fantastic TVs, cars, clothes etc and now want this.
even though i work really hard-its just for food and a roof. my kids mums look around my house in dibelief, as you can see i havent got much
i saw a photo of me today, and i look tired, sad and just drained. i deserve better, and i just cant see it happening.
