Let's look at this logically. You have 5 kids. You mention nothing about child support. Do you support your children financially or do you just visit them? Do you provide anything for them other than a presence? Since you are divorced, are you paying alimony? You said you were honorably discharged from the military - WHY? Why not stay in and have a stable source of income? You said you were manager of Dollar general but were fired for "assumed" sexual harassment. It is my understanding that it takes a lot, other than someone's word, to get someone fired for sexual harassment. You said "January I bought a car for my job as a manager of Dollar General, then 2 weeks later it broke down with a busted timing belt. $800.00 repair bill. 2 months worth of rent." Why wasn't this car covered by the lemon law? April I find out that the love of my life is messing around on me and we break up, she takes both kids with her and moves out and takes income with her that was promised to the landlord and cable. So while you have 5 children of your own, you are living with someone else and her 2 kids? I am only guessing but was this for financial support, right? My suggestions to you are this: Get an apartment you can afford on your own. Go back to school, get a degree WHILE YOU ARE WORKING. Support your own children Stop having more children or caring for anyone else's Stop relying on others to carry you. It seems to me that you have a lot of growing up to do. You don't seem to complete anything you start. You are 34 and what have you accomplished?
