Have you ever been driving, preferably sitting in the passenger seat, and just looked up at the clouds and saw yourself flying in the clouds. I have. I feel so grounded at times. I feel I can never do anything. My life is so.....unlivable. I wish i was somewhere else...or maybe somebody else. i see myself doing so many things. Going back to school. regaining my daughter. fixing my marriage. but reality is in the way. My husband and I are melting away. Our marriage is falling apart. My daughter isn't in my custody. I would do anything to get her back. My friends are dwindling. Neither me or my husband have jobs. We barely make it on what money we have. Behind on bills, scarce food, and running out of luck. I see those clouds and wish I could jump up and fly away. i wish I was a bird. I'm a failure as a mother, a wife, and a person. What should I do?? Caitlan

First,you are not fail yet.There is aways ways for you.Tomorrow is another day.If you want to make it up,stop complain and go to find a job.Maybe you will fail many times,dont lose your faith.Always think about the good thing,think about your child,give yourself a reason to live.I believe many years later when you look back your life you will say :I had make it.

Hello Caitlan, All the things you wrote down made me very upset :( Life was never easy for any of us, but i see that you are having the tough part at the moment. I was checking your info and saw that you are 17 years old, which means life actually just started for you. As i see you are a young mother and i guess a young married couple. I am 32 years old, and when i look back the times when i was 17 i was having similar difficulties in my life , thought that life sucks , i am not going to be able to handle it, but as a typical say , time cures every wound, You need to be patient , you are young you are going find a job and so is your husband, You need to be next to each other, and talk and discuss . And hard to say this but you have to be strong, never lose your hope for the beautiful days ahead of you! I will pray for you and your happiness. Have a great day!!!

Relax your mind CaiteBaby09 and start seeing a winner in yourself because if you put your mind in failure then it will be hard for see the future. At your age, you have a good life.. but that depends on how positive you are in making it happen. Financial crisis is the cause of all you are facing. If you find a job by now, and work for sustaining your family, then all this trouble in your life will be things of the past. I wish you all the best. ...think positive and build your success foundation on it... your will emerge a winner..
