I just need some nice words of encouragement I don't feel like I'm doing good as a Father.
Hey, my name is Dylan. I'm a single dad of 3 kids since their mother got hooked on drugs and left with some man almost a year ago. Now I'm doing my best. I get benefits, but not much because I have a job. Even though it doesn't pay much, it cuts into them deeply because of the state I'm living in, or, to be honest, it's probably like this in all of them.
I've been doing my best to raise my 3 babies on my own, but not having my family to help, or my brother, who died from a seizure in his sleep when I was supposed to be watching him, and my childhood best friend, who might as well have been my brother, who was suicidal and took his own life... I failed them both, and I don't want to fail my kids too.
But I'm failing financially. I lost my good job about 3 months ago after missing Easter because I got food poisoning, and I took whatever job I could get quickly, which doesn't pay much and has been cutting my hours. I live in a very rural area, and I'm having a hard time finding a job where I live.
I was in college, but I recently dropped out because I can't afford my Wi-Fi, and my phone service won't cut it for doing my schoolwork.
I just feel like a failure. Does anybody have any advice on how to get out of this? I just need to catch a break for once.
